The sports world is heating up, and not just because of the competition on the field. The latest controversy is about teens who identify as transgender participating in sports that align with their preferred gender identity. But hold onto your baseball cap, because it’s not the kids who are the problem here. It’s the adults stirring the pot and causing a ruckus.
These activist adults are the ones to blame for making teen trans athletes feel like they deserve praise for competing against biological girls. They’re the ones turning what should be a fair playing field into a political battleground. It’s like they’re throwing a curveball into the mix and expecting everyone to just roll with it.

Create a trans category. See if trans guys want to compete with trans girls. I bet no.— Gary Knapp (@Paduki) June 6, 2024
Now, don’t get the wrong idea. Nobody’s trying to rain on anyone’s parade here. It’s great that everyone wants to be included in sports, but the rules are in place for a reason. We can’t just change the game because a few adults are trying to steal the spotlight.
It’s about time the adults stepped up to the plate and realized their actions are causing chaos on the field. Let’s play fair and give everyone a shot, but let’s not make it a whole to-do. Keep the politics out of sports and let the kids just play the game.
