Flying Bats FC won every match
More on “women’s” football in New South Wales:
A women’s football competition has been branded “misogynist” after it was won by a team featuring five
transgender[male] players amid accusations one had broken an opponents’ leg in two places.Flying Bats FC won every match they played during the four-week Beryl Ackroyd Cup, including a 10-0 victory in which one of their trans players scored a double hat-trick.
Since
winning[Flying Bats FC won] Sunday’s final in Sydney, Australia, 4-0, it has emerged [that] organisers had earlier held a crisis meeting, during which rival teams were warned forfeiting games against the Bats would result in disciplinary action and could even be viewed as “an act of discrimination”.
This thing is incredibly badly written, but I think we can detect the facts through the fog.
The same meeting included accusations a 6ft 2in, 14st Bats player had once broken the leg of 5ft 6in, nine-and-a-half stone opponent in two places and claims 24 of the injured player’s team-mates had quit because they did not want to face the LGBTQ+ side.
The what? A women’s football team doesn’t become “the LGBTQ+ side” by replacing 5 women with 5 men. The female players quit because they did not want to get smashed up by men.
The president of the Flying Bats, which boasts of being “the biggest LGBTQIA+ women’s and non-binary football club in the world”, told Daily Mail Australia trans women had been playing for them for at least two decades.
Yeah see that’s beside the point. Endangering and injuring women doesn’t become ok because you’ve been doing it for a long time. Same goes for trashing women’s sports.
Jennifer Peden said: “As a club, the Flying Bats FC stand strongly for inclusion, and pride ourselves on safe, respectful and fair play, the promotion of a supportive community for LGBTQIA+ players, officials and supporters, and the significant physical, social and mental health benefits that participation in sport brings, especially to marginalised members of the LGBTQIA+ community. We are a club that values our cisgender and transgender players equally.”
As a club, the Flying Bats FC stand strongly for letting men take over women’s sports, and physically injure women in the process. Rah rah.
You can “pride yourselves” on your so-called virtues all you want, but every one of those virtues has an inversion. It reminds me of Mark Twain’s “The War Prayer,” in which a man stumbled into the church and preached the ugliness of blight, death, injury, and pain to be inflicted on the enemy and all their friends and relations, as a result of the patriotic prayer for victory that is usually seen as pure and sacred in normal pious sermons.
Flying Bats “stands strongly” for “inclusion,” by excluding lesbian women from their very own team. They “pride themselves” on “safe” play, by making play extremely UNsafe for all their opponents, and even the actual women who play for the Flying Bats. They tout themselves for “respectful” play by utterly trashing and disrespecting and insulting and undermining and destroying the rights every actual woman in any match or league or tournament in which they play. They brag about their “fair play,” while personifying lying and cheating. They claim to be “supportive” of “LGBTQIA+” players, officials, and fans, while denigrating the “LGB” cohort of the forced-teamed coalition — which they have piggybacked and parasited on, hollowing out and consuming the work of the LGB community, to leave the husk of a former civil rights movement as a dead casualty — and ignoring every non-male TQIA+ person. Their support is ever and only in favor of the men, against women. As to “the significant physical, social and mental health benefits that participation in sport brings,” those benefits are the same for the men, even when they play on men’s teams. However, they are insistent on denying those very same benefits to every woman who otherwise would be playing on this women’s team — this “lesbian” team — and to every woman on any opposing team. The women on opposing teams lose any chance to play fairly, respectfully, or safely. The “Flying Bats” might have to have a new logo or mascot: a pink-and-blue barbed-wire-wrapped baseball bat. That’s some “Flying Bats,” all right. Either that, or change the name to “Team Misogyny FC.” It’d be more truthful.
