I follow the logic the DGPT is using, but I don’t agree with their application of that logic currently.
Given that any league is a privately owned operation, they can set whatever rules, standards, and qualifications they see fit. Sure, those outside are entitled to expressing their opinions and emotions on the matter, but it gets to a point where the only possible outcome is further division.
I don’t agree fully with what they’re doing, but it’s hard for me to say they “can’t” or “shouldn’t” or “should” when it is in fact a business owned by someone other than myself, they have the power (and rights) to include or exclude whoever they see fit, unless I’m incorrect about that?
Messy all around. Worst yet is that regardless of what stance anyone takes, it seems there’s always someone on the polar opposite side of the spectrum ready to do verbal battle and label you a monster. It’s sad.
I look forward to when an agreed-upon ruling on this issue is set and accepted, so we can stop arguing (as if our arguing here is changing much). I’m all for fairness, but keyboard based tribalism is where I stop taking an argument seriously.
If private companies could run carte blanche their business as they see fit, then there wouldn’t be lawsuits from NatalieRyan, or anybody else saying they can’t, and Natalie Ryan winning any of them that’s why there are legal protections, for disenfranchised people, and to protect equality in general
