    Women should quit NCAA in protest. But they won’t, because reasons. Seem to be OK with massive spending differentials between men and women sports but still participate anyway.

      Both women and men should quit NCAA in protest. Trans men exist just as much as trans women.

      I suppose Donny will be personally inspecting each and evey single athlete before a game?

      They won’t because they have to pay for college and they are taking advantage of sports scholarships. They’re kind of fucked here and it really shouldn’t be put on them to do something like that.

        It’s a matter of numbers. The bosses always pretend they’ll just fire people for defiance, but if whole teams strike they don’t really have a way to pull that off without grievously harming their business. (And while the NCAA is itself a nonprofit, it definitely has business interests.)

        It’s not fair, but solidarity and social resistance is going to involve good people taking risks when they could have just gone along instead. That’s the whole meaning of the ‘First they came for’ poem.
