Cowardly Grandstanding Of The Month:

Yeah, Nike is to blame for biological men invading women’s sports. Sure.

What a lazy, intellectually dishonest, cowardly campaign this is. The people that these women should be petitioning and complaining to are progressives and Democrats who have abandoned their commitment to women’s sports because they are determined to pander to the sweet ‘smell of wokeness in the morning’ emitted by LGBTQ activists.

Women are a huge voting bloc, and the trans community is tiny (though demanding). If women put up a united front against biological men competing in women’s sports and made it clear that they were going to hold the Democratic Party responsible if this absurd distortion of common sense, biology and competitive ethics continues, the issue would evaporate like sweat on Lia Thomas’s stubbly chin.

These women don’t have sufficient integrity to do that, however. They would rather lose while blaming a corporation that gains nothing by injecting itself into a sports policy battle that isn’t any of its business anyway. Women’s sports being destroyed by unethical participation rules is the government’s business, but instead of protecting female athletes, the Democratic Party is rolling over and showing its belly to the trans lobby because it considers the female voting bloc “in the bag.”

This is essentially the same cynical calculation that allows Democrats to support its party’s anti-Israel and anti-Semitic component: they don’t believe reflex-Democrat Jews will ever abandon them for the Republican Party.

At least American Jews aren’t blaming Nike for the explosion of anti-Semitism.

  1. Corporations need to stay away from virtue signaling anything political. It might have short term positives to virtue signal but in the long run, it’s a lose lose prospect for corporations to virtue signal.

  2. I find the Irony amusing that women need someone to stand up for them when they are unwilling to stand up for themselves.

    And, those men that won’t vote for a woman for president because they aren’t smart should be lined up and shot. Paging Kamala, Paging Kamala.

    • Not just the government’s business, agreed. But because it creates an ethics conflict regarding the discrimination laws, guidance and participation is necessary for agencies and political leaders. You’ve seen all the state laws on both sides of the issue, and one whole political party has simplified a genuinely complex issue to “hate,” which had nothing to do with it. The safety issue is definitely a part of the issue that demands government attention. But wherever the government’s interest starts and stops, it’s a lot more germane than Nike.
