The problem is no one cares when your daughter gets dunked on by someone else’s cis-daughter. CIS-on-cis injuries in women’s sports are ubiquitous. If youre XX and still built like a brick wall, (the same mold as our women firefighters) then you’re just a ringer.
No, they’re worried about trans athletes and their potential for harm, even though there’s about ten such athletes throughout the US, and the instances involving injuries are about a handful.
And similarly no one cares about the severe (life-changing) TBI machine that is full-contact gridiron football, varsity, college and professional. Then we revel in the blood and profits.
The trans issue is pure right wing propaganda, and essentially just a means for MAGAs to signal their presence to their fellow cultists.
Yeah if your argument is Americans have an unhealthy connection with sports for sure I agree.
It’s not unique to Americans. Many countries have an unhealthy relationship with FIFA, although gridiron football is only slightly short of gladiatorial blood sports. (It doesn’t kill participants, only reduces them to a shell of their former selves.) German football hooliganism is notorious.
I can’t speak for rugby or hockey, which also look dangerous but don’t have leagues as powerful as NFL.
Also the US has boxing and mixed-martial-arts cage matches. I don’t know if those have near-equivalents outside America.
