Girls Basketball Team Kicked Out Of Boys League Championship After Defeating Boys Teams
Oh, come on.
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.
You're viewing a single thread.
"...what we have worried about is a boys team is losing to a girls team (especially in a year end tourney) they may get frustrated and retaliate against a girl," a text allegedly sent by the tournament directors reads.
"Throughout the season we had a few teams come to us about this and raise concerns about it. Because of this we decided to keep them out of the tournament," another text reads.
Oh, so the teams were threatening to commit violence against the girls. Why not just kick those teams out?
"For their safety" :vomits:
I don't want to be an old man, but if you hit a girl when I was in 6th grade, you were an instant social pariah. Everyone would beat your ass.
Kicking them out doesn't solve the problem. They'd just blame the girls instead of being introspective. Let one of these loser little boys throw hands and learn really fucking fast that the meanest, hardest hitting monster on this planet is a pissed off 12 year old girl. When he's getting his hair ripped out a fistful at a time, he'll understand why he lost.
but if you hit a girl when I was in 6th grade, you were an instant social pariah. Everyone would beat your ass.
And this is why male violence against women is non-existent, children.
There is a whole world out there to pay attention to and you've taken the performative utterances of tweenage boys desperately trying to become men as evidence to deny everything else. WTF?
FWIW, the ones who were shouting the loudest are absolutely the most likely to be dominating, coercing, and hitting their female partners now. They're performing masculinity because they don't know what it is and that terrifies them.
And because the world is dominated by these frightened little boys, we punish girls and women for the violence of men and boys. This story is not an outlier, it is the fucking story.
Yeah a lot of boys forget that girls don't fight "fair". Due to societal pressures on women to surpress heir emotions, when it comes time to fight that's it. Boys are taught by society fighting is normal and even is encouraged in how they play.
6th graders generally don't fight fair. They don't generally fight well at all.
The typical fight between 6th grade boys is every bit as much of a slap fest as the typical fight between 6th grade girls.
6th grade boys haven't hit puberty yet. Given that these girls are kicking their butts at basket ball I'll assume they slap harder than the boys do.
They're probably taller than the boys, too which plays into them beating them at basketball since height is such a big advantage and girls tend to hit their growth spurts earlier.
