Regular people find violence against women upsetting and that’s the story around sports. Honestly, I think if it were contained to the swimming stuff, it wouldn’t have been as bad. The visceral reaction to contact sports is difficult to whitewash. 

The volleyball story where a woman was concussed after getting spiked in the face. Pretty bad…but as a misandrist, it might’ve been funny if it were two men.

That volleyball story is awful. I didn't know women's volleyball nets are lower but now that I think of it it makes sense. That sokan probably never faced a ball with that angle of attack and couldn't defend herself.

The peaking for me on sports was the clip of a big trans woman going Shaq in handball on a bunch of hijab wearing smaller women in handball. It was fucking absurd.

I had heard something about self-defense training/combat sports where there is a Moment of Realization the first time a woman goes up against a man

like there are ladies who think they're hot shit, they win every fight they participate in (against other women), and think they can take on anyone...then they challenge a guy who picks them up and tosses them aside like they're nothing and it leads to a crisis of self esteem like holy shit I never thought there was THIS MUCH difference, what have I even been training for

self-defense training for women where to prove a point the instructor invites a bunch of women to try to take him down and he's just wading around with 4 women hanging off of him unable to drop him
