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.

    Don’t worry about it, some people just throw downvotes around everywhere. You could make the least divisive post possible that everyone universally could agree is correct and still get a downvote, so it’s best to just ignore it. This is especially true on news communities, infamously the preferred hunting grounds of many a troll.

        Fair enough, but it’s just so weird.

        Like what is that? Just some automated system response, making sure there’s always at least one downvote on anyone’s comment?

        I’m being facetious, but you get my point. It’s just so out of left field, it just makes you wonder.

          I posted a screenshot of my Linux desktop in a thread about Linux desktops. Got several upvotes and one downvote. Don’t know.

      Thanks for replying. I’m honestly not worried about it, just really curious. I like to know if there’s something missing in my perception of the comment I made, basically.
