    This is the real reason why I think trans women should be able to play women’s sports: Nobody really gives a fuck about women’s sports.

      Except maybe women, but they don’t really count as people, right?

      Let’s drop the state sponsorship of professional men’s sports and sporting arenas down to the level that we give to the women’s teams and see how those salaries look in a couple of years…

          …and the NBA is supported by the taxpayer.

          The entire business model of professional sports requires socializing the cost of infrastructure through subsidizing the transportation, location, and logistics and exempting every one of these monopoly wealth getting schemes from labor laws, antitrust, and public review.

          The NBA, NFL, MLB, etc are a scam And they need to learn how to pay their own bills.
