      pool is a game you play with a friend when you’ve got nothing better to do and you’re in the basement at a richer person who you don’t really know’s party, how are you gonna be a star?

    Sorta related, what’s with the UK and so many shitty sensationalist right-wing tabloids? Like, fox news is probably our most insane mainstream fake news outlet, why do they have so many?

    Transphobia in sports cannot be meaningfully separated from white supremacy in sports. They use the same racist excuses against trans people, and the same transphobic excuses against black people (see: all the black athletes that get banned for not being feminine (read: white) enough). And the transphobes even have their own transgender pseudoscience they use as justification, much like their race science of last century.

    New rule: if your “sport” can’t manage skill divisions without worrying about genitals it’s gone. Your sport is fired. No more pool until you can figure out how to let everyone play. This goes for all the other sports too.

      This is reminding me of the time I was watching a roller derby bout. The away team had multiple huge guys (like they should’ve been playing football), that just bowled through the other team.

      Convinced me the sport needs weight classes.
