How are you guaging popularity? By every metric, they all fail. Yet they are allowed to exist and carry on. I don't think I have a revolutionary opinion at all. People aren't watching it.
Are you going to watch any female sporting event, where you aren't related or have a personal relationship with someone involved?
Again, is the point of sports - especially ones at taxpayer funded institutions of higher learning - there just for your entertainment? Who gives a shite if zero people watch them play? What a weird take and one likely brought on by a disdain for women due to your own insecurities about your masculinity.

Women don't care about sports period. There is no audience for it. That's why it's all subsidized. There is no purpose for it. I work with almost all women and most don't give a crap about any of this.
I was going to type a long thought out response to this but you’re such an idiot for this take it’s not worth the effort.

It’s incredibly uncomplicated
Men and women are biologically different in almost every regard
Men are physically much more adapt than women for lots of evolutionary reasons
Women, as a whole, cannot compete with men in many different areas, specifically sports.
Men cannot become women and women cannot become men. Your sex is determined by biology.
Therefore, men should be not be allowed to participate in women’s sports.
Anyone that opposes any of those statements are on par with flat-Earthers.

Help me understand what's so fricking complicated about it?

He's trying to be one of those "above the fray!" moderates so he can assume an air of pseudo-intellectual superiority.

This is a fair take. I'm a bit of a chauvinist. I'll admit it. I don't think it's fair for all the advantages that women are given. I'd have loved to be given a free ride and tons of additional benefits when I went to college.
I am an average guy at most sports. But I would have easily scored a scholarship to play a number of female sports. That's how bad they are and we all know it. This trans thing is dumb (and they shouldn't cross over), but it's just shows how dumb it is that these sports exist on these upper levels..

You didn’t get TOPS or any other scholarships? Doesn’t surprise me at all. What free rides do women get that men can’t? Just curious, I’ve got a daughter heading to college in two years.

Well, you’re a guy. Honestly I can’t tell if this is just a troll account because your arguments are laughable at best.

To you this is just a small story, to female athletes this is a major part of their lives.
I agree
And I bet the majority of them support politicians that are all for tranny training beginning in preschool

I suspect the athletes competing are not in support of trannies competing against them. But yes, women by and large love emotional arguments.

A little off topic, but Katie Ledecky holds the NCAA record in at least one of the events that Lia Thomas swims. Katie is 6'0, 160 lbs., and tough as nails. I would love to see her fist beat the hell out of Thomas.

Last year the NCAA woman's championship game had the highest ratings ever. This year, in the WNBA, the Las Vegas Aces have become the first WNBA team to sell out of season tickets.
Started in 97, but now we're good almost 20 years later?
I showed up for midnight women's basketball when LA Tech played Tennessee back in the day. The NBA (probably load management) has sucked the life out of anything but gambling during March Madness for dudes. Caitlin will disappear, Angel will get drafted for a shite salary, then the only reason both the NCAA WB and the WBNA will drag on is because of social media.

Women’s college basketball outdraws men’s college baseball and at most schools not named LSU makes more money
The better wbb games out draws a lot of NBA games as far as tv ratings
Women’s sports during the Olympics are more watched than men’s

Some of these responses defending these dudes really are fascinating.
Of course there are nude beaches in civilized countries- so what? People make a conscious choice to go to these areas. They don't let people just walk around naked on public beaches.
Also, like some other posters said, women's locker rooms are protected areas for only actual women. People value their privacy. Do you think there was anything wrong with the guy spying on Erin Andrews in her hotel room years back? It's just nudity right, and everyone needs to chill out, right? The world has gone mad, and if anyone is willing to raise their voice for common sense they are labeled as a grifter or right wing radical. People have always said things like this, but they were considered idiots by society and totally disregarded. Now those same people are making public policy.

Eh, advertising revenue, douche? $300M for women's word cup, $1.7B for mens. But all the same, right?
Make money on what you produce. Women's sports produce nearly nothing.

Is ad revenue the point of sports at taxpayer funded universities (what we’re talking about)?

You want to pretend they're the same, but they're not.
I wasn't talking about universities, but the world cup for national teams.
I'd love for my daughter to lose a dance competition to someone with a dick.
