It's odd how someone touting the greatness of sports is also a proponent of disqualifying some people from participating. It’s as far from a random line in the sand as can be. Born men are not to compete against women. As long as there has existed womens sport, this rule exists implicitly, by definition. We've always done it this way!

This is how you started the conversation but all of a sudden I'm being condescending. Sports are of course both fair and unfair. But they only get to be unfair the in the ways that you decide right? There isn’t a better example of the greatness of sport, but you try to twist it to be a negative 😂 Never said it was a negative, just trying to assess why some parts of sports get to be allowed in your definition of fair and unfair. I can give you a laundry list of the reasons why the NBA isn't fair but I know this really has nothing to do with fairness for you.
