Transgender teen joins girls track team

Very few high school athletes will participate at a college level. Let alone a scholarship level. But they can still be competitive at a state level especially within divisions. Banners don't get hung up in gyms for individual efforts. Parades don't get thrown for individual efforts. It's a team thing. If you have athletes coming in and disrupt the balance it skews the team component. Don't think of this as an open 100 meter where it's everyone for themselves. Think of team efforts like relays, cross country, basketball, ect where even small differences make the difference between a championship or not.

For most of us we'll leave our athletic endeavors on the table once we leave high school. From there it's school, work and a family. Disrupting the balance of talent steals away those opportunities from other kids.

So you have someone on the team that gives yours an advantage? Sounds good for the team.

Other teams can't compete? Sounds like they have two choices. I've mentioned one several times!

Colleges recruit teams blindly and not individual stand outs? Sounds like a stupid college.

I guess we're all fortunate that none of this is up to me... cause I still haven't heard anything that's actually at stake in all this that I think matters a hill of beans in reality to anyone. Sorry if that sounds dismissive.

But like I say... none of this is up to me.

Do you have an opinion of pro athletes using PEDS?

All pro should use PEDS...if they aren't already. Competition below that should be as fair as it can be and boys on the girls track ain't it.

No. I don't honestly care what pro athletes do. And I don't see what this has to do with this.
