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.

      Retaliating against your opponents for beating you in a game isn’t normal, but on Patriarchy it is.

      Patriarchy, not even once.

        Here’s the quotes:

        SWOB President Tom Sunderman expressed concern in a statement:

        “Doing this for 28 years, what we have worried about is a boys team losing to a girls team (especially in the year end tourney), they may get frustrated and retaliate against a girl.” "Then we have liability issues.” Prez, a social media user on X (Formerly Twitter), didn’t buy it.

        “What he meant to say was they can’t have their boys being emasculated by a better girls team… it would be a blow to their developing manhood to get beat by girls.”

        What context am I missing?
