Columnist: I'm standing up for what I believe in! Protecting women's sport! And I'll keep standing up for it, no matter how much those snowflakes try to silence me and my right to free speech!

Citizen: That's fantastic! You know, female athletes have to put up with so much vicious misogyny and abuse, especially on social media. Some men really can be snowflakes when it comes to women's sport.

Columnist: No! I'm raising the big issue in women's sport, and I'm being /attacked/ for it!

Citizen: Really?! People are attacking you for saying female athletes deserve equal pay for equal work?

Columnist: Not that one! I'm talking about something far more serious, affecting the health and wellbeing of female athletes. And even the very integrity of women's sport itself!

Citizen: Do you mean how sports science focuses almost exclusively on male athletes, leading to women suffering anterior cruciate ligament injuries at six times the rate of men (citation: https://www.nytimes.com/2026/02/26/magazine/acl-tear-women-girl-sports.html )?

Citizen: Or do you mean how elite women's sport is routinely relegated to worse venues and TV coverage, with less sponsorship and promotion?

Columnist: No! I'm talking about protecting women's sport from the scourge of men transitioning for the sole purpose of winning at women's sport!

Citizen: Why would a professional male athlete who's not trans want to go through all the challenges and discrimination of transitioning for less pay, less TV coverage, fewer sponsorships, smaller crowds, less promotion, higher injury risk, worse venue, online abuse, and rampant misogyny, just to win at women's sport?

Columnist: Because *winning*!

Citizen: Can you give an example of where this has actually happened?

Columnist: ...

Citizen: And what do you propose to do about it?

Columnist: Totally dismantle democracy, install a totalitarian dictatorship, arrest or kill anyone who disagrees with said despot, and deport ethnic minorities en masse. Also we'll use it to justify rolling back all healthcare and civil rights to trans people, establishing that human rights exist at the arbitrary will of our overload, which the despot will use arbitrarily against all women and any other individuals or groups he disagrees with.

Citizen: That seems a bit... extreme.

Columnist: It's all to protect women's sport.

Citizen: And what will you do about the other issues I raised?

Columnist: Well, if any of them, such as research into sports medicine for women or facilities for women's sport, require public funding, then we'll cut the funding and give the money back to rich supporters of our despot as a tax cut.

Citizen: I see. Say, just out of curiosity, who do you think will win the grand final in the AFLW this year?

Columnist: I honestly don't care. I'm not into women's sport, sorry.

Why Are So Many Teen Girls Still Tearing Their A.C.L.s?

For years, ligament tears have been a crisis among young athletes — even though a few simple exercises can prevent them.

The New York Times
Im Zuge der Diskussion über den Ausschluss von trans Frauen im Frauensnooker möchte ich mal kurz daran erinnern, dass die Trennung nach Gender im Sport manchmal Gründe hat, über die nicht laut und deutlich gesprochen wird. #WomensSport www.infosperber.ch/gesellschaft...

Männer wollen von Frauen im Sc...
Männer wollen von Frauen im Schiessen nicht blamiert werden

In den Schiess-Disziplinen durften Frauen an der Olympiade nicht zusammen mit Männern antreten. Es gibt einen einleuchtenden Grund.

Keely Hodgkinson breaks 800m indoor world record in France on her birthday

British runner Keely Hodgkinson set a new 800m indoor world record of 1:54.87 in Lievin, France on February 19, 2026. This breaks a 24-year-old record.

Your final from Boston:

Boston 2
Vancouver 0

1st Star is Boston goalie Erin Frankel

Sorry, I didn't get the shots on goal, but I believe Boston wound up with 29.

Fun game.

After 2 periods of play, Boston 1 - Vancouver 0.

SOG: Boston 26, Vancouver 8

Having played the position of goaltender, the games where you're not seeing a lot of shots are harder. You can't really get a rhythm established, and you have to be extra focused on what's going on 100 feet away from you. That being said, Boston goalie Erin Frankel has been playing a solid game. Vancouver goalie Emerance Maschmeyer is doing everything and then some to keep her team in this one.

Vancouver needs sustained pressure in the Boston zone, and need to score the next one ugly. Shove it under Frankle's pad, spank home a short rebound, bounce it off a Fleet defender...something. Just shoot! Boston isn't giving them a chance to set up a pretty play. It's get possession and out.

3rd period coming up.
