Does the “Men’s” in “Men’s College World Series” Annoy You?

It’s just the “College World Series.” Why is E$PN/NC$$ pushing the false equivalency between baseball and softball? Is there really that much of a chance of confusing the two? One is a sport, the other is a game!

NCAA hanging on by a thread with the gender BS. Matter of time

No but you know what does. Charging two people the same cart fee when their solo friend has a cart to himself and pays the same amount.

It annoys me a lot. Probably irrationally so.

yes. at first thought, it should be PTCWS, but i'm sure there's some penis toters in the women's bracket too.

If we are not careful, we will have 17 different Gender Specific World Series' in our lifetime.

The actions of the woke often prove to be anti-woke. By labeling it men's it makes it sound like women aren't allowed. However, I'm not aware of any rules that prohibit women from competing on a "men's" team. Plenty of examples of women on football teams.

I guess it’s easier to say than “College Baseball World Series” and “College Softball World Series” but yes baseball and softball aren’t the same sport.

In the women's game, you can't take a lead until the ball leave's the pitcher's hand. What kind of shite is that for a sport?

I continue to say College World Series. It's the only one that counts.

The College World Series began long before softball decided to use the same name to designate their championship the Women’s College World Series. If they thought that somehow made women seem less than men, they should have named it something unique. As has been suggested elsewhere, they could have named it or re-named it the College Softball World Series. There was absolutely no need to change the name of the CWS. It doesn’t annoy me as much as it amuses me.
