Kinda shocked by how broken-hearted I am by so many sporting events being cancelled.

Obviously it was the right call and necessary but I can’t help but mourn for what could have been. March Madness-anyone who says the men’s tournament was more entertaining than the women’s for any of the past 3 years is a wet sock of a human being. The Olympics!? The only people anyone cares about it the women! All the Katie Ledecky memes? WNT maybe finally breaking the WC curse? The last ride of so many basketball superstars? The goddamn gymnasts?! Is there any decent person on earth who doesn’t want to watch some female gymnasts fuck up the laws of physics for a while? Haven’t they earned that?

I think specifically when it comes to women’s sports there are so few chances for any recognition-so many girls devote their lives to something they know they don’t have a future in. What’s more, most sports have actively fought to keep out women and girls (Women’s soccer was banned in Britain for 50 years!). The last place the vast majority of these women will get to play the thing they love at the highest level is college.

To get so much of that precious time snatched away from you and there’s nothing you can do about it? It’s gone and you shouldn’t mourn because it’s “just sports” and it’s not like you could’ve gone pro? Man alive, sports just breaks your heart.
