'There is an extra dose of dishonesty when male athletes who identify as women take on female counterparts in sports at a high level... Women are being horribly deprecated, and men are being unmanned by going along with it.' -hgurdon
Twelve goals in a soccer match would normally be as eye-popping as 100 points in an NFL game. But the shock, if one can call it that, was ameliorated by the event being a lighthearted confrontation in The Soccer Tournament, a banally named competition modeled on the World Cup, with many rules changed to make scores higher, play easier, and injuries unlikely.
First, their matches required fakery, with players and commentators colluding in the disingenuous pretense that this was a real sporting event rather than a charade with the result never in doubt.
TV commentators tried to make it exciting, talking about Wrexham “knocking at the door,” as though it was difficult to get through the female defenses. They cooed, “Look at that respect,” when a Wrexham player shook the U.S. goalkeeper’s hand after she made a save. On and on went the lugubrious fiction, fooling no one.
Soccer is, of course, vastly removed from war in importance, but pretending that women playing men involves real competition requires a similar decision to ignore the truth and stick mendaciously to a preferred fiction demanded by ideological orthodoxy.
