Rfu Goes Woke
What on earth is going on in this world.
The RFU is changing the A team name from Saxons back to A team, because it might offend someone. Who? the Picts, Danes, Normans?
And they are distancing themselves from the England anthem, Swing Low. I really don’t understand this. It’s an anti-slavery hymn. Who on earth in these days would be offended by this.
Barbary and Caribbean pirates?

Does anyone else remember when Sport had the characteristic, but gentle, result of uniting different peoples and cultures? If so can you explain to me why since these "people of different cultures", and indeed appearance in some cases have attained administrative posts in Sport, has Sport suddenly become a pastime that is riven with racism?
Anybody who cannot see the absurdity in allowing transgender men (or is it transgender women - I'm never quite sure) play against real women, is wilfully not seeing it.
Granted it's a different sport, but I present Hannah Mouncy of women's Aussie Rules football and women's handball fame.

'She' has an unfair advantage.
For me it's really quite simple - in any sport where speed and strength are required, you play in a team of your biological sex. It is fundamentally unfair, and dangerous, for somebody of Mouncey's size and strength to play against women.
If Mouncey is good enough, why doesn't 'she' play with men - or is it the case 'she' can't compete with the men because 'she' wasn't good enough?

Caitlyn Jenner, possibly the world's most famous TG, and in another life a gold medal winner, has been called transphobic by Sarah Silverman because Jenner said trans athletes born male shouldn't play on girls' sports team.

If that wasn't so utterly pathetic I might laugh at it. As it is I see nothing humorous in any of this nonsense we're expected to go along with. Even on here we've been told that we should call a he who fantastises about being a she, 'she' or 'her'. Sorry, no can do. Regardless of which bits and pieces he retains, a bloke is a bloke and always will be.

One line of defence though or to be taken into consideration. Once on the oestrogen and testosterone suppressors, a lot of the muscle power of being a man does disappear and one also gets the body re-alignment as in breasts, smaller waist, more on the hips. However, when one takes maintaining fitness to play such a sport, I don't know the extent to which this holds.....
