Another day, another example of how our illiberal “inclusivity” mandates are taking a jackhammer to the integrity and fairness of female athletics.
We’ve seen it in golf, swimming, skateboarding, cycling, surfing and volleyball. The latest entry for the women’s sports hall of shame happened on the hardwood.
During a girl’s hoops game earlier this month in Massachusetts, Collegiate Charter School in Lowell forfeited a game against KIPP Academy at halftime because they had three players go down with injuries. The team, already battered and bruised, wanted to preserve themselves for the upcoming playoffs, according to the school’s athletic director.

These guys will kill what there is of women’s professional sports. For instance who would pay to see a PGA tournament if the winner was likely to be some guy calling himself Tigress Woods? They might get into golf , soccer and tennis but I have a feeling they won’t get much support from the players in the WNBA.

At this point, any girl or woman who willingly participates in any sport where a man is on the opposing woman's team deserves what she gets.
The way to cure this is not to participate..Once you see there is a guy on the other team walk away. Don't even start.

I'm with #1. Wake me when the first TG starts in the WNBA.

2nd and 3rd rate male athletes play on the girl's teams. It’s the only way they can come in first.

When a man shows up pretending to be a woman and wanting to play sports the real women need to walk away. If there is no one to play against, if everyone refuses to watch then maybe something will finally happen. If you are not a biological woman then you CANNOT participate. Start a tranny league if you wish but leave the girls/women alone. Your DNA defines your biology not the game you are playing in your head. You can pretend you want to be a kangaroo if you want. Hop around your backyard. But that does not make you a kangaroo. The same with pretending you are a woman. I will not participate in your fantasy and frankly you can stick your "preferred pronouns" where the sun don't shine. Leave them alone and let them play.

I suppose the "woke liberals" do not want to hurt the feelings of these lunatics who claim to be what they aren't , but hurt feelings is a lot better than physical harm to the real girls who oppose them

This could be a good thing.
Just imagine an NBA All-Star team - - playing in the Olympic girls basketball tournament. They'll crush those foreign women - - and it will mean a shiny gold medal for the good old USA!
Let's do it!

Where were the referees??? Why didn't they call the game? Isn't it their job to ensure the safety of the players? They, the refs, should have intervened, maybe after the first girl was injured and certainly after the second. The third girl should never have had to end up in what was obviously a significant amount of pain.
There is no reason that the bio-girls' team should have had to forfeit, which will go down in the record books as a loss for them. If adults--parents, coaches, refs--would act like adults, this would not be a problem.
Full disclosure: When my older son was in high school, over 20 years ago, he and some friends thought they would make a point about sex discrimination, so they tried to sign up for girls' volleyball. The principal told them to take a hike. As he should have.

The policy is clear - Boys team & women's team. You have a vagina, then you play in the women's team. If you have a penis, you have no business in the women's team. The only thing these men, who think they are women, need to do is to check out their crotch. If they don't see a vagina between their legs, my suggestion to them is to get mental help because there is definitely something wrong with them. In other words, you guys who think you are women, are in dire need of some psychiatric help to get your brains straightened out to the fact that you are men.

Re post #10. The other thing I forgot to mention here is that the coaches and the school, are going along with this crap and are letting these mental cases take the upper hand.

These MEN should be physically driven out of the women's sports, by whatever means it takes.
They are NOT women, cannot EVER become women and should NEVER be in women's sports.

No sympathy. If you agree to play, you consent to all of this.

I don't think is that difficult to remedy. . . they just need to have a league "of their own".

Females athletes never "consented" to participate against male athletes. Their only "choice" is "take it or leave it." Years of training rarely overcome the mismatch of male vs female bodies competing against each other.
Title IX originally was meant to protect female athletes, and it did, stating that "...no person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance.”
Back then schools were not required to spend as much on female sports as they did on the males. That changed with Title IX. With that, standout female athletes could win scholarships, just as the standout male athletes did. That's what was supposed to happen. More opportunities for women than they previously had.
Today, our politicians and bureaucrats on the left no longer believe women are entitled to the protections of Title IX as expressed in the original law. Instead, decades later, they tell us efforts to keep males off of female sports teams and out of their rest rooms and locker rooms, is "discrimination on the basis of sex."
Females have no recourse to fair treatment, with the current far left agenda. They can risk bodily harm, including getting their teeth knocked out, limbs broken, and severe head injuries. What they cannot do is participate in fair athletic competitions thanks to politicians and bureaucrats who opened up female competitions to mediocre male athletes. No proof required of them. They must be believed when they claim to identify as female.

The girl guarding him should have given him a knee to the groin, leaned over and whispered to him, "how does it feel?'.

It's beyond infuriating to see males in female athletic competition. As many here know, this particular LDotter is a male professional golfer who is quite aware of the differences between men and women in athletic competition. If I had been, say, a brother of one of the girls injured by the hulking six-footer with the facial hair, I would have made certain that said six-footer left the arena that day injured more severely than what he did to the three girls. Eventually, a father, uncle, or big brother is going to kill one of these fake women playing athletics against real women. You can just about count on it happening. It would be fun to take one of these cheaters apart physically. And the girls would enjoy the show.
