quote:

Karsten Braasch (born 14 July 1967) is a German former professional tennis player. His highest ATP singles ranking was World No. 38, which he reached in June 1994. His career-high in doubles was World No. 36, achieved in November 1997.[1] He was well-noted for his service motion and his habit of smoking during changeovers.

quote:

Braasch competed in a "Battle of the Sexes" contest against the Williams sisters (Venus and Serena) at the 1998 Australian Open when he was ranked 203. Braasch was described by one journalist as "a man whose training regime centered around a pack of cigarettes and more than a couple bottles of ice cold lager".[2] He nonetheless defeated both sisters, playing a single set against each, beating Serena 6–1 and Venus 6–2.[3] Braasch was thirty years old at the time, while Venus and Serena were seventeen and sixteen, respectively.

Well, with more and more trannies competing in women's sports, this will change!

Yeah but no matter how hard they try, there are only two genders.

I'm not trying to totally disagree with the premise of your post by any means but 30 is closer to your athletic prime than 16 or 17.

It should be just treated like classifications in high school athletics.
There really isn't a sport that women can compete with men. But by having separate, they are allowed to compete among themselves. No problem with that. It's not like a small rural high school wins the state in football, that we all should pile on them, saying "well, you don't deserve it, you couldn't beat a big city school with 10X the student population."

Me and my friends back in college used to play beach volleyball at the lake in the summer for fun.

We went to Panama City on spring break and met some girls who were some of the volleyball players from UVA. We were pretty drunk and beat the absolute shite out of them. They were pissed

God it would be hilarious if there are men's sports, women's sports then tranny sports.

I wonder how they will attempt to push that one?

They are already letting them compete against the competition to which they've transitioned. There have already been multiple transgirls (boys) winning high school championships so far into this madness.

I think the most important part there is that he was a poorly conditioned male athlete ranked in the 200s absolutely destroying two female athletes that were ranked in or near the top 10.

And apparently the Williams sisters had talked shite to initiate the challenge. From Wiki:

quote:

1998: Karsten Braasch vs. the Williams sisters

Another event dubbed a "Battle of the Sexes" took place during the 1998 Australian Open between Karsten Braasch and the Williams sisters. Venus and Serena Williams had claimed that they could beat any male player ranked outside the world's top 200, so Braasch, then ranked 203rd, challenged them both. Braasch was described by one journalist as "a man whose training regime centered around a pack of cigarettes and more than a couple bottles of ice cold lager". The matches took place on court number 12 in Melbourne Park, after Braasch had finished a round of golf and two shandies. He first took on Serena and after leading 5–0, beat her 6–1. Venus then walked on court and again Braasch was victorious, this time winning 6–2. Braasch said afterwards, "500 and above, no chance". He added that he had played like someone ranked 600th in order to keep the game "fun". Braasch said the big difference was that men can chase down shots much easier, and that men put spin on the ball that the women can't handle. The Williams sisters adjusted their claim to beating men outside the top 350.

Just give it some time, eventually the teams will be filled with testosterone filled trannies and it may be worth watching.

The three best players in men's tennis are post 30. One of them is 37.

The story about a women's soccer team losing to 15 year olds conveniently omits the fact that this "boys" team is the national U16 squad with many players already playing professionally. Not a random bunch of teenagers.

If you only watch the very top level of competition then I hope you don't watch college sports at all, no college team can compete in the pros either.

I am aware and parents are furious. Will women admit that a man who transitions to a female is generally a better athlete? What about places like UFC? If a trans women beats the living shite out of a real women in the same weight class, are you willing to show that on TV? Imagine a male who can't make it in the NBA "transitions" and wants to play in the WNBA, are they willing to allow some 6'6" male to come and start dunking all over the women's game?
