A 6th grade girls team from Kentucky was set to go for the year-end championship tournament, but was told they were banned due to fears boys teams might ‘retaliate’ if they lost to the girls team.

    My favorite sport to watch is girls volleyball…I don’t like to watch sports in general

    Most people treat me like a creep when I bring it up, but it’s way more dynamic and interesting than men’s volleyball. I used to scorekeep the sport, women’s volleyball is just more entertaining

    IDGAF about basketball to start with, but if the boys can’t compete we should throw them by the wayside. I don’t get why this is even a question

      If people’s first thought about women’s volleyball is that it’s purely a sport for Voyeurism, then that’s their bag to unpack on their own time. I watch Women’s Gymnastics and Figure Skating since my wife got me into it and I won’t entertain that shit with my friends. If I wanted to watch something just because there’s hot people in it, then I’ll just watch some regular ass porn.

      I definitely won’t shy away from the fact that there are incredibly attractive women participating at an elite level in these sports, but I’m all about equal opportunity and will also absolutely recognize some hot bros doing gymnastics and figure skating. Usually shuts people up when I start talking about how hot football players are on the team they like to rattle on about forever.

        Tell that to the International Volleyball Federation who mandated bikinis for female beach volleyball players until last year.

      I like men’s sports only, I think girl sports suck.

      Is this ok to feel? Or are my feelings invalid, and I’m a woman hating psychopath who should kill myself?

      I will let your raging downvotes decide.

        I’ve given it some time… Look at your votes. For the record, I didn’t participate

        You turned a very average, very mediocre stance into a way to victimize yourself.

        “I don’t like women’s sports” is a valid take, "women’s sports suck " is a trash opinion.

          No, proven a point that online outrage movement still has no arguments, and zero ctitical thinking skills. Nice jumping to conclusions though.

            Again, look at your votes - your comment is still sitting at 2 votes. Presumably, one person upvoted you

            Hell, I’d go as far as to say “women’s sports are boring” is the mainstream opinion.

            No Internet outrage movement took place here… No one tried to offer you empty arguments or dogpile you with a lack of critical thinking skills.

            Whoever you expected to fight didn’t show up.

            Either they’re not here, they don’t exist, or their beliefs aren’t quite what you think they are

              Or they refused to entertain me, which is quite some progress if you ask me considering the usual outrage the second the word “woman”, “gay”, or “trans” appears in a sentence.

                I literally said your stance is the norm, your first comment is still at 2 votes. No one else has engaged

                Who are you arguing against?

                You’re victimizing yourself and shadow boxing in the corner.

                You can wake up… That’s what being “woke” actually means, always has. It’s waking up from being an NPC
