Dems Push Trans Athletes in Face of Lesbian Oppression

Our liberal ruling class chides us incessantly about the oppression suffered by favored identity groups. Yet actual evidence of these privileged groups being treated other than with obsequious reverence is rarely provided. They have been forced to resort to fabricating hate hoaxes and “microaggressions” — until now. At long last, progressives can point to an actual instance of lesbian oppression:

A bearded transgender basketball player attending a Massachusetts private school who was seen in a viral video knocking down a rival during a game was allegedly suspended from a female rowing team for staring at a topless girl in a changing room…

If he is transgender, that means he is a girl. So if he stares lasciviously at real girls, he must be a lesbian — a protected class. Yet they dare oppress him.

The same 6-foot-tall student-athlete enrolled at KIPP Academy in Lynn, Massachusetts, participated in six different female sports, including rowing, volleyball, and tae kwon do, reported the Australian magazine Quillette.

The student, who is believed to be 17 or 18 years old, joined a female rowing team at a private club in Massachusetts in 2021, after allegedly doing poorly on the male team.

In the face of this oppression, Democrats press forward with the transgender agenda:

Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers vetoed a bill on Tuesday that would have banned high school transgender athletes from competing on teams that do not align with their gender at birth.

That is, their real gender.

Republicans control the legislature and Democrats could not come up with the votes to prevent the bill’s passage.

Evers’s veto will preserve the progress of LGBTism in Wisconsin. However:

At least 20 US states have approved some version of a ban on school-aged transgender athletes.

Hang on, transgender athletes. Help is on the way from the federal government:

A proposal from the Biden administration to forbid such legislation is heading toward finalization this year…

Suggesting that liberals might have a sense of humor after all, they defend their attack on women’s sports by claiming that not letting men play in them is a violation of Title IX — which was intended to protect women’s sports.

Girls Basketball Team Forced to Forfeit by Male Player

Moonbattery is killing every aspect of American civilization, some more quickly than others. Women’s sports are essentially already dead:

A Massachusetts charter school ended a girls’ varsity basketball game at halftime on February 8 after multiple players were injured by a trans-identified male on the opposing team.

The coach of the Collegiate Charter School of Lowell Girls’ Basketball Team made the decision to end the game against KIPP Academy “after watching a third player injured in the game,” a press release from the school states.

According to the press release,

“The players feared getting injured and not being able to compete in the playoffs.”

Not much point to playoffs if other teams are going to have male players.

One video of the game showed the biological male player, standing taller than the female players, ripping the ball out of a female Collegiate Charter School of Lowell player’s hands. She was seen clutching her back while she laid on the ground, grimacing in pain as team members surrounded her.

All you need to know about liberals is that they find this acceptable.

Sports Illustrated Went Woke and Goes Broke

The liberal establishment insidiously exploits sports media to inculcate moonbat ideology into audiences that let down their intellectual defenses because they are not expecting politics. The most egregious examples are ESPN (e.g., here, here, here, here, here) and Sports Illustrated. The former has Disney’s vast fortunes behind it. The latter is learning the truth of the maxim “Get woke, go broke”:

The Arena Group – which publishes Sports Illustrated – has informed employees that a ‘significant number, possibly all, of the Guild-represented workers at SI’ will be laid off.

No wonder moonbats hate capitalism. It forces you to acknowledge how the numbers add up. SI’s numbers add up to doom:

It comes as a result of Authentic Brands Group (ABG), the group that purchased Sports Illustrated for $110million in 2019, ending its agreement with Arena to publish in both print and digital.

Arena missed a $2.8m payment as part of the licensing agreement three weeks ago.

This comes in the aftermath of SI reportedly using AI to write its material. More devastating to the brand has been the focus on force-feeding moonbattery.

The formerly iconic swimsuit issue has repeatedly featured on its cover men posing as women in gag-inducing attempts to seduce readers into LGBTism.

The leftist publication has informed readers that coaches exercising their First Amendment rights by praying to God constitute an “erosion of a bedrock of American democracy.”

It has been pushing the global warming hoax for years, even screeching that the imaginary climate crisis is killing football players; as with all global catastrophes, politically favored blacks are “disproportionately affected.”

Trust the free market to provide alternatives that stick to sports.

NBC Censors Profession of Faith by Houston Quarterback

It isn’t only individual moonbats like Joy Reid and Rob Reiner who are intolerant toward Christians. To the extent they are moonbats, they are not individuals, but components of a borg known as the Liberal Establishment. The whole borg hates Christians — so much so that NBC censors expressions of faith from players like Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud:

Here’s the uncensored version:

Too bad for NBC Sports that it came along too late to cover feeding Christians to lions at the Coliseum.

Deadspin Race-Baiter Attacks Small Child

The ultimate blasphemy against the moonbat religion is blackface, which harkens back to a more wholesome time, when Al Jolson was the most successful entertainer in America. The only people who have worn blackface in recent memory are prominent moonbats like Justin Trudeau, Jimmy Kimmel, and Joy Behar. This makes it hard for the liberal establishment to find sacrificial victims to immolate for this thoughtcrime. So they frame a little kid.

Shrieks the Deadspin headline (capitalization as in original):

The NFL needs to speak out against the Kansas City Chiefs fan in Black face, Native headdress

No matter how obsequiously you pander to woke bullies, it will never be enough. The NFL is so obnoxiously left-wing that I wouldn’t watch a game if you paid me to (see here, here, here, etc.). The endzones actually feature leftist slogans, like something out of the USSR. Yet Deadspin screams,

The answers to all of those questions lead back to the NFL. While it isn’t the league’s responsibility to stop racism and hate from being taught in the home, they are a league that has relentlessly participated in prejudice. If the NFL had outlawed the chop at Chiefs games and been more aggressive in changing the team’s name, then we wouldn’t be here.

The Chiefs banned Indian headdresses several years ago as part of the liberal campaign to delete references to Indians from American culture because “racism.” But the game was in Las Vegas.

The Deadspin piece features a picture of the little boy we are supposed to hate in profile, so as to trick readers into thinking he was wearing blackface. Actually, one side was black, the other red, apparently to signify that he is a Chiefs fan; that’s why he was wearing the headdress.

As Outkick notes and Deadspin knows,

Fans have used double face paint during games to support their teams since the inception of sports. It happens at every stadium, in support of every team.

Outkick also notes the glaringly obvious:

No one in their right mind could seriously argue the kid’s intent was malicious.

In contrast, the intent of Deadspin Author of Color Carron J. Phillips was plenty malicious. That’s why the race-baiting propagandist goes on the Hate Hoax List.

Transgender Creepazoids Kill Women’s Cycling

Liberals can have their LGBTism or women can have sports. There cannot be both. Until this repugnant ideology has been expunged, women’s cycling is over:

Two transgender cyclists have taken the top spots on the podium at the Chicago CycloCross Cup after triumphing in a women’s race.

Tessa Johnson, 25, won first place in the women’s SingleSpeed while Evelyn Williamson, 30, placed second in the race on October 7.

The transgender pair made headlines earlier this year for sweeping the competition at several women’s races…

Brace yourself for a glimpse into the personal life of “Evelyn” Williamson:

Williamson has also made headlines for [his] romantic life after rumors began circulating that [he] was in a ‘throuple’ with fellow transgender cyclist Austin Killips and a third unidentified individual.

Killips sparked widespread outrage after appearing to shove female CycloCross champion Hannah Arensman in a competition in December 2022 – who went on to quit the sport entirely after feeling transgender athletes were ruining the sport.

The differences between liberal ideology and objective reality are irreconcilable. Social engineers can name a guy woman of the year, but no amount of moonbattery can make men and women interchangeable.

ESPN: Overpaid Athletes = Slaves

Combine professional racist Ibram X. Kendi with Disney’s ultraleft propaganda outlet ESPN and the result is Critical Race Theory taken to the last extreme of self-parody. Liberal ideology rests on the proposition that conspicuously privileged blacks are somehow oppressed. As evidence to support this preposterous lie, we are presented with professional athletes — who are paid $millions per year to play a game for a few months while basking in adulation, often even while refusing to show a modicum of respect for the flag revered by most of the audience:

Even a dim bulb like Ibram X. is bright enough to understand that Democratic Party dogma is garbage designed to manipulate idiots — just as even AOC’s alma mater Boston University is sick of getting scammed by this scoundrel. But count on Disney/ESPN to keep rubbing it in our faces so long as there are people with no better use for their time than to watch.

Ibram didn’t come up with comparing overpaid athletes to slaves on his own. The ultimate privileged ingrate Colin Kaepernick has been there and done that with Netflix, which shares Disney’s devotion to moonbattery:

Pernicious Mission of Transgender Cheerleader

Among the reasons to stop wasting precious time watching wokefied sports is a self-important exhibitionist named Justine Lindsay:

The NFL’s first transgender cheerleader has entered his second season in the league and described being heartbroken over children not being able to play sports against kids of the opposite gender.

Not so heartbreaking for the girls who avoid senseless injury and getting cheated out of the trophies they earn.

He also said that he is sad to see states ban hormonal and medical procedures for youth.

Not so sad for the children who manage to pass through this sick fad with their capacity to live normal lives intact.

Lindsay, who dances for the Carolina Panthers TopCats cheerleading squad, said that he hopes to influence the next generation with his outspoken ways.

Let’s hope he does influence it — to reject liberalism root and branch on the grounds that the fruit this tree bears is nasty.

“Everything that I’m going through now, it’s bigger than me,” he told Elle. “I’m setting things up for the younger generation.”

That he is. We will either have a generation of dysfunctional perverts who don’t know which bathroom to use, or a generation with a renewed respect for taboos and norms that have been in place for millennia.

Behold the future of humanity if we don’t turn back:

ESPN Features Professional Racist Ibram X. Kendi

Even the moonbats running Boston University are starting to back away from professional racist Ibram X. Kendi. But he can still find support even further on the left. What’s out there past academia? ESPN:

“Skin in the Game with Dr. Ibram X. Kendi” will debut on ESPN+ on Sept. 20, according to a news release from the network. The series “delves into and challenges racism in the sports world, and will reveal how pervasive racism is in sports.”

They mean racism against blacks. In the sports industry. Next, they should do a show on the epidemic of Islamophobia in Iran.

It is doubtful that he is getting $333 per minute for this, as he has for vomiting Critical Race Theory onto children. ESPN’s owner Disney has deep pockets, but not infinite resources like the government, which can always print more money when it runs out.

Kendi is associated with the term antiracism. He explains what it means:

“An antiracist policy is any measure that produces or sustains racial equity between racial groups.”

That is, antiracism is the failure to impose his racist ideology.

As for what “racist” means, Kendi can’t say.

The purpose of ESPN is to deliver leftist propaganda sugar-coated in sports. When the mind has been lulled into a stupor, there is less resistance to indoctrination. However, it has been getting so ham-fisted in its moonbattery that only someone who has already been brainwashed can watch it. Imagine trying to sit through this:

Profiles in Countermoonbattery: David Wells

Kneeling to Black Lives Matter as it looted businesses and tore down statues of the Founding Fathers marked the total capitulation of professional baseball to the radical left, rendering the sport unwatchable. Back in the day, you could like and admire baseball players — especially no-nonsense countermoonbats like David Wells of the New York Yankees:

Wells appeared at the 75th Old-Timers’ Day at Yankee Stadium on Saturday – which celebrated the 25th anniversary of the 1998 Bronx Bombers squad that won 125 games and captured the World Series.

Wells covered up the Nike logo with medical tape on his Yankees jersey for Old Timers’ Day because he disagrees with the sneaker company’s politics.

Wells declared, “I hate Nike! They’re woke!”

That they are. Their logo on a uniform is a desecration.

According to The Athletic, “He said that if he were playing today, he would have cut a hole into his jersey and worn it on the field like that rather than display Nike’s logo on his body.”

Unsurprisingly, Boomer does not drink Bud Light, the brand that chained itself to the nightmarishly repulsive personification of liberal manhood Dylan Mulvaney.

If anyone is more woke even than the leftist kooks running Nike, it could only be the quintessential moonbat Keith Olbermann. He and Wells don’t seem to hit it off:

Seeking a rebuttal, Olberman tagged Wells on the X social media platform along with a screenshot of the former star pitcher voicing his displeasure with Bud Light.

Olbermann tweeted, “Bulls**t. @BoomerWells33 would drink wood alcohol. Another f***ing fraud.”

Wells struck back at Olbermann with a home run response, “Keith shut the f*** up. Just because you never played the game and all you did was work for ESPN and talk s**t on all of us players because you have a degree in journalism makes you an expert on putting athletes down. And that’s if you even have a degree. Stick to your politics.”

It will be some time before Olbermann can sit comfortably after such a well-placed kick in the pants.

Antiwhite Racism From NASCAR

If ever a brand could be more at war with its own customer base than Bud Light, it would be NASCAR. The latest gob of spit in fans’ faces:

The race car giant’s “diversity internship program” states that there are racial requirements that applicants must meet in order to be accepted.

The first bullet point listed under the heading “Program Requirements” reads “Be a member of one or more of the following races/ethnic minority classifications: Black or African American, American Indian or Alaska Native, Asian, Latino or Hispanic, Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander.”

NASCAR appeals to members of America’s core population. But the appeal doesn’t go vice versa.

NASCAR’s diversity internship program appears to be part of a broader company campaign called “Drive for Diversity,” which also includes race-based mentorship programs.

Blatant racism of this type violates Title VII of the 1866 Civil Rights Act. But according to liberal doctrine, racism against whites doesn’t count as racism, because whites deserve to be discriminated against for being racists.

Bud Light came crashing down because there are alternatives. NASCAR doesn’t have such direct competition. But then, there are ways to spend your free time other than watching cars drive around in circles.

Male Powerlifter Sets Female Record

We all know that letting men compete as women is destroying women’s sports. Yet so powerful is the “marginalized” Alphabet Mafia that the grotesque farce continues:

A male powerlifter who identifies as a “woman” set a women’s national record at a championship in Brandon, Manitoba, yesterday. Anne Andres, 40, currently holds multiple records in the female division, including women’s deadlift and bench press, and has placed first in nine out of the eleven competitions he has participated in over the past four years.

Unlike some transgender athletes, Andres would be competitive even among his fellow men:

Andres’ total would have placed him amongst the top-performing male powerlifters in the entire championship had he participated in the men’s category.

Hopefully someone is keeping track of who really does hold these records, so that cheaters competing as members of the opposite sex can be purged once liberal hegemony has been overthrown.

Try not to grind your teeth as Andres insults the real women he unfairly competes against:

Why USA Was Right to Cheer Women’s Soccer Loss

It was sad to see America cheer that its own team had lost the World Cup in women’s soccer. Jason Whitlock explains why it was right to cheer:

On Sunday, with a chance to off Sweden with a penalty kick, Rapinoe missed the entire net wide right. She smirked and laughed in embarrassment. Two other U.S. women missed their kicks as well. But those women earned their spots on the roster. Rapinoe was on the team and on the field because of social pressure and a never-ending marketing campaign. She hadn’t earned the right to fail. The opportunity was bestowed on her.

Did the ultrapoliticized sports establishment learn from this? Doubtful:

When it was over, when the No. 1-ranked team in the world completed its epic collapse, supporters of “The Great Gay Hope” refused to pivot. ESPN aired a three-minute feature story on Rapinoe narrated by her “fiancee,” WNBA player Sue Bird.

ESPN is not about sports. It is about moonbattery. The same goes for all institutions that have been infiltrated, subverted, and subordinated to their agenda by leftists.

Rapinoe confirmed that she is less an athlete than a left-wing activist:

When asked for her greatest memory of her “legendary” career, she pointed to the lawsuit she and her teammates filed against the U.S. Soccer Federation over alleged pay inequality. Gender pay inequality is a myth and a lie, no different from other popular corporate media narratives like climate change and the alleged genocidal homicide of unarmed black men.

But the truth is irrelevant in the making of an Alphabet Mafia icon. Megan Rapinoe is the George Floyd of soccer.

Her narcissistic, anti-American pose corroded the team’s morale, resulting in the historic loss.

Could you imagine Joe Montana or Michael Jordan summarizing their careers by referencing a contract dispute?

Rapinoe is a fraud. She’s the Colin Kaepernick of soccer. Her attitude poisoned the women’s national soccer team. Let’s hope her side effects don’t linger.

Unfortunately, the side effects might. Leftists who find success pull the ladder up after them so that others can’t follow. The George Floyd/Colin Kaepernick of soccer pulls up the ladder by calling for men to be allowed to play on women’s teams. If this insanity prevails, the sport she exploited by using it to convert sexual perversion into fame and fortune will be destroyed for other women.

Or maybe the loss will help inspire us to finally reject the vile mentality Rapinoe personifies. We can hope. Also, we can laugh:

NASCAR Driver Canceled Over Lighthearted Meme

No one is more based than the fan base of NASCAR, who gave us the original version of the patriotic chant “Let’s Go Brandon.” In contrast, no one is more woke than the moonbats who run it. The leftism imposed from approve is so repressive that driver Noah Gragson has been suspended indefinitely for not displaying sufficient reverence for a career criminal who died of a fentanyl overdose while resisting arrest against a police officer half his size and who went on to become a deity in the liberal religion.

All Gragson did was like this light-hearted meme:

The reference is to the song “Under the Sea” from The Little Mermaid. Our moonbat overlords are not amused:

“We have made the decision to suspend Noah Gragson effective immediately regarding his actions that do not represent the values of our team,” Legacy Motor Club said in a statement. “Josh Berry will drive the No. 42 entry for this weekend’s NASCAR Cup Series race at Michigan.”

NASCAR tripled down on the team’s heavy-handed punishment:

“NASCAR fully supports Legacy Motor Club’s decision to suspend Noah Gragson,” the racing association stated. “Following his actions on social media, NASCAR has determined that Gragson has violated the Member Conduct section of the 2023 NASCAR Rule Book and has placed him under indefinite suspension.”

Don’t feel sorry for Gragson. Disgustingly, he licks the hand that whacked him:

“I am disappointed in myself for my lack of attention and actions on social media,” Gragson [groveled] on Twitter. “I understand the severity of this situation. I love and appreciate everyone. I try to treat everyone equally no matter who they are. I messed up plain and simple.”

We can’t all be Jason Aldean. But at some point life is not worth living without self-respect. How someone can have the nerve to drive a racecar but not to stand up to the gaggle of Dylan Mulvaneys comprising the liberal establishment is a mystery.

This rigid brand of “tolerance” is to be expected from the suits at NASCAR:

NASCAR has taken other actions in the wake of Floyd’s death, including its decision to ban the Confederate flag from its events and venues following complaints about its use by Bubba Wallace.

Pseudo-oppressed crybully Bubba Wallace is famous for possibly the most comically dim-witted hate hoax yet. If only all drivers were Bubba Wallace, NASCAR wouldn’t have to cancel them.

Totalitarianism means everyone must walk on egg shells at all times lest they say something that offends their overlords. That’s why there is no humor in totalitarian societies.
