Inclusion Leads To Concussion

 ... when it's the NHL trying to be inclusive.

Dig this.

The draft led to two teams being formed, one of dudes who think they're chicks and another of chicks who think they're dudes. A game was played with hilarious results.

Team Pink’s victory over Black in the finals—which I was able to watch on video, along with all the other games—was an embarrassing 7–1 rout. According to one rink-side source who attended the tournament, Team Pink players even called a meeting during the second period in order to discuss whether it would be best to end the game prematurely. (Some of their deliberations are audible on the video I viewed.) Two players floated the idea of simply announcing that the tournament was over and that “everyone” had won.

Further, one of the smallish chicks who thinks she's a dude came onto the ice and a few seconds later, she got brushed by a huge dude who thinks he's a chick. She fell and went sliding into the boards, headfirst, and ending up with a concussion. Hilarious!

I know I'm not supposed to laugh at others' misfortunes, but you'd have to have a heart of stone not to find that funny. It's a perfect summary of the stupidity of the obnoxious morons who are shoving gender affirmation down our throats.

You just know that the concussed chick has spent the last couple of years sneering at the troglodytes who rejected the idea that she was a man and who wouldn't use her "proper pronouns" or "deadnamed" her. Maybe getting her head rammed into some 3/4" plywood knocked some sense into her.

  1. This kind of points out something that irks me about the way people (particularly gym teachers) approach sports.

    On the one hand, there is the lie that they tell to (mostly) boys, that all that matters is that they get out there and "hustle", and that any of them can be a champion if they give it all their effort and want it enough. That is, of course, false. And we all know it's false, but they say it anyway, I guess because they think its motivational. The kid who just doesn't have that fast of a reaction time, or have that great of hand-eye coordination, or simply isn't as big as the other kids, is not going to be a champion and no amount of shouting to the contrary is going to change that.

    But on the other hand, the same people who tell that whopper, are more than happy to concede that girls (in general) can't complete with boys (in general) in any sport where size and strength is at a premium. But they make out like it is primarily because of their gender, and not because they are smaller and not as strong.

    Which leads to the debacle you describe above. We have girls who want to be competitive athletically with the boys, and they hear the lie being told to the boys. And they think, "hey, if only I were a boy, I could be a contender, too!" So they do what they think they need to do to be a boy, charge out there, and get slammed with the reality that the bigger, stronger players will crush the smaller, weaker players regardless of their gender. Heck, if they had taken a bunch of boys, sorted the bigger, stronger ones into one team and the smaller, weaker ones into the other, it would have been just as much of a debacle, and gender wouldn't have had a thing to do with it.

    Sports are fundamentally unfair. A person's basic physical endowments aren't everything in sports, but they are a heck of a lot. The people without the appropriate traits for a given sport are just never going to be able to aspire to being any more than mediocre at that sport, no matter how hard they try.

  2. Tim - Could not agree more. What also amazes me is what I consider a similar somewhat complementary nugget of reality.

    Just as the bigger, faster, and stronger are always going to out compete the smaller, slower, and weaker, so the smarter and more learned will out think the stupider and less learned. Nearly everyone recognizes the first and also recognize that sports teams (especially professional teams) will be composed of those bigger, faster, and stronger athletes (and which based on visual inspection of professional sports also seems to correlate with race and sex). And yet nearly no one will admit that our higher educational system and professional ranks should be made of the smarter and most learned, and absolutely no one would ever dare say that there could be a racial correlation or a gender correlation for this.
