Ah yes, the Air Bud rule of women in men’s sports.
Do you think any woman would have a chance in those leagues? The minute they even tried, they would start getting so much shit.
Jackie Robinson was one of the bravest men who ever lived. He was far from the first to try to break the “unwritten” color barrier in baseball. Everyone else who tried had been driven off before they could even start. And I’m guessing he wasn’t getting the rape threats any woman who wanted to try would get.
Of course not. Do you think all the black men who tried to break the color barrier before Jackie Robinson weren’t brave enough?
Saying, “this isn’t worth me putting up with” when you have to put up with death threats or rape threats for something like being on a sports team is not cowardice.
This is like claiming that a black family who moves out of town after a cross is burnt on their lawn are cowards. I sincerely hope you don’t believe that.
I didn’t say you made that claim. Hence my using the word “like.”
And how am I backpedaling at all? You asked me if I thought they were cowards and I said no and explained why. That’s literally the opposite of backpedaling.
Did you just not bother reading anything I wrote before responding?
I didn’t ask if you thought they were cowards. I asked if you think the only reason aren’t in major leagues is because they aren’t brave enough. That’s the implication you made by bringing up Jackie Robinson on the context you did and adding that he was exceptionally brave.
Did you just not bother reading anything I wrote before responding?
Are you reading what you’re writing? What is the point of anything you’re writing? What message are you trying to convey?
And I explained why I was not saying that, which you have not accepted. But I do notice you’ve decided to whine about something I said hours ago as if it were about you, so I don’t think you’re dealing with a full deck of cards.
I don’t think you’re dealing with a full deck of cards.
Eww, the projection…
Correct, that is what I asked. I never said it wasn’t… You made a comment that seemed to imply women weren’t brave enough. Which is obviously a ridiculous statement. So I asked if that’s what you meant. You then said it wasn’t. So, then what was or even is your point?
I said hours ago as if it were about you
Okay then. Who was it about? When you replied to the person that was replying to me and you said “people like this”, who was the person like that? I think any reasonable person would infer you meant the person that the commenter you were replying to was replying to. So, if not, then who?
You seem way more concerned with being defensive you keep undercutting your own statements. I don’t know what point you’re trying to make. I’m still waiting for you to clarify that. Until you can, this is pointless.

I didn’t make any such claim. You did. Now you’re back peddling, so I guess there wasn’t any point to your previous comment?

It was… a person not you because I said it half a day ago.
My god, the ego you have to think someone was talking about you before they ever talked to you.
Also, and I don’t know why you need this explained to you, it was a question I never asked you.
You are a non-issue. You cease to exist to me the second I put down my phone. Get over yourself.
