@no1marauder saidWhere are all these women on college teams, mlb ?
Is it "fair" that Kinley Rasmus is playing against "biological males" in the Little League World Series?
"Through four games, Rasmus is 5-for-10 at the plate with a double, three RBIs, three runs and two walks. She’s sporting a .583 on-base percentage and a 1.183 OPS."
"For the tournament, she hasn’t allowed a run in 10 2/3 innings, while surrendering three hits, tw ...[text shortened]... on the mound."

You take a one off and think you make a point.
At this stage of child development, one year of age can make a tremendous difference.
Some of these kids weigh 80 pounds, some 180 pounds. Rasmus is a BIG girl.
All this attention focused on her and the rest of the team left out is not fair to them.
BTW…Phenix City is OUT.
@Mott-The-Hoople saidBut what is Marauder saying? Is he in favor of allowing men to compete against women, boys to compete against girls? We have been patient, but it appears that I will have to answer for him. Men have bigger muscles, hearts, hands, height (average)l, toughness, meanness, ....let me see, there are other elements....

The post above appears to say that it is OK for boys to get into girls' games. What do you think? Maybe we should ask him to comment on the physical elements I list above. Bigger hands pull more water (I think Mark Twain said that)
@Mott-The-Hoople saidThe argument you and others have been making is that it is "unfair" to have transgender girls and women, even those who have had hormone treatments that significantly reduce the very things AJ mentions, compete against other female athletes because the latter will have no chance against them. And that, therefore, politicians must impose eligibility rules on sports organizations reflecting that belief.

Rasmus, among many other athletes, show such stereotypical beliefs are nonsense. And the idea that the federal government should tell private and local governments what rules they should apply to sports competitions runs counter to longstanding conservative principles.
Let the sports organizations decide as they always have is my position.
@Suzianne saidI do know that you liberals use the word educate, telling us we need to listen and learn from you all. Be that as may, realize that you are lecturing us actually….. with that very sentence you are lecturing. We are always begging you fellers to discuss issues.
Except that you are 'talking' on the very device you can also use to parse these links.
Stop complaining you 'shouldn't have to', when you only 'don't want to'.
Educate yourself, stupid.
Should I do an issue thread, Suzanne?
@no1marauder saidholler back when in a few years this girl competes on a college team

@AverageJoe1 saidLia Thomas plays basketball?
Marauder will be best to enlighten us as to why one man got to compete with women, in swimming competition, but the BBall player is NOT allowed to play with women, see my link which I attach for marauder's benefit.
Bball player Freedom identifies as a woman, which complies with the rules. That is the rule. He complies. He suits up, shows up ready to play, and he i ...[text shortened]... om??

This has to be the dumbest thread I've ever read through. Now that they've destroyed their own credibility as fiscally-responsible politicians, and destroyed the entire country's credibility as a world leader, conservatives have nothing else to cling to except women's sports and immigrants.
Pathetic. Let the sports leagues decide the rules. They don't want men playing in the WNBA and you're complaining about that?

Stay with me. Shall I begin with 'hands'? Yeah, Right, Marauder.
Heart size and height.....................Help Me Rhonda.
The rest of his post, defending men in women's sports, we have heard enough
We know he does, but i do not think he has definitively ever said it , he just dances with the issue. Libs lecture, we discuss issues
Edit: Note in your journals, that when AJoe says men and boys, he means men and boys, Marauder has many words for what they are, you be the judge. 😆
But to truly form an opinion, you may need a medical degree.
@AverageJoe1 saidLol you think eligibility for women's sports should be based on the size of your heart?

Silly guy..maybe leave these decisions to the people who actually run the sports leagues, because you sound ridiculous.
@AverageJoe1 said"Huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh huh..." *hack* *spit*
I don't have any idea what it means, but seemed like it fit that feller's parlance. He said nothing. For the record, i did not even know that conjected is a word, I made it up. My upbringing apparently prepared me for being right on target.
It has a red lline under it....so it must not be a word but it ought to be

Do you laugh and disrespect people with cancer, too?

@Earl-of-Trumps saidBecause stupid people do stupid things that impact far more people than just them. Like voting for Trump.
Why do you have so much hatred for people that do not think like you? 🙄
