Why do they perform drug testing at some events? Maybe to see if there are performance enhancing chemicals in your system? So if you’re chemically enhanced you’re disqualified, BUT if you’re genetically enhanced you get a trophy and a check? I understand now
UK “women’s” final
- Thread starter tim913
- Start date
Are you saying male Filipino players are better than male players from the rest of the planet? What genetic differences do you believe are responsible?

Don’t you?
Start your own events banning men and women I’m sure we will all be very happy we can’t participate.
When Shane enters and identifies as transgender and blows the field away in every event and discipline let’s see how you handle that.
This entire subject is absurd and I can’t believe it’s even discussed worldwide.
The world has gone insane. Deport them all to El Salvador prisons.
Including the 17 supporters with megaphones and the silent politicians that have no balls to speak up.

Be lucky SVB is a nice guy.
He could identify as woman to play in the women's event and then proceed to whoop the men as usual.
He would be making so much $$$ but a lot of pool though.

What I don't get is the restricted participation at the league and club level (whether transgenders are allowed or not is a whole other topic, and gets even more complicated with non-binary, but I won't go there now). How is it equal rights / participation when there is a women's only car club event or a women's only league on X day of the week? Women want the opportunity to be included in everything (no men only clubs, etc.) yet want their own events just for them, which isn't equal rights and is instead special rights to a percentage of society. A compromise here is to have separate groups for men and women (if they want that) for all club events and league nights.
I'm saying your small sample size theory is BS. You prefer to be deliberately obtuse or perhaps ...

Poor and lazy.
Pool is a way to put food on the table while we, Americans, are doing it casually.
Nobody cares as long as the women aren't too competitive with men. The few women throughout the years that could compete with men had them crying like babies saying just the things you are here. True enough, nobody cares as long as the women are just cannon fodder.

I don’t believe men should be competing in women’s sports, it’s unfair and nothing will change my mind on that! Having said that I must admit that I hold a little bitterness in my heart for what happened to the Boys Scouts!

Savannah Easton beats the crap out of these bum men players.
the open events are not called "men's events" for a reason. men could arrange additional men only events if they wish. there is one going on now, the european championship, men, women and teams. but most pro events are OPEN.
I don't think people are reading my entire post here, given it is not only talking about men and women competing together. It also mentions participation, like a car club tour to a special winery or something, where I have seen women only events specifically scheduled for just this. The women sued to get rid of men only events and clubs (one of the biggest and longest men only clubs is holding quite a major golf event this week), they shouldn't be able to have it both ways...

I wouldn't pretend to understand why there is a difference in men and women in pool, but it appears that women want to have a division that they compete against other women. I don't hear women advocating for men competing in those divisions. What I do hear/see is men advocating for men in women's division...I don't understand that.

I think men should have there own thing - don’t lump us all in the same group. Most women have no issues with men having their events and women having theirs.
No she doesn't. The only thing she wins is junior tournaments & watered down events.

Which is right where she should be right now. That shouldnt be a slight against her.
She is a very bright up and coming player that will eventually be snapping off women's events and cashing in open majors.

Just a reminder: be nice. It’s a hot topic.
Women sued to be part of spaces that were strictly for men in order to participate- but that was mostly long ago and needed at that time. And now that we do have that right, most of us have zero issues with men’s events and women’s events ( and what happened with the Boy Scouts was stupid, in my opinion.)
When I was a kid women could not get an apartment or a credit card without their husbands’ or fathers’ consent… both the men and women before us fought for equality and I am incredibly grateful. I’m allowed in a pool hall, I have a great job, I was a college athlete, and do all kinds of things my grandmothers weren’t allowed to do.
Allowing men to compete in women’s sports is going the wrong direction.

She was just at Hard Times and ran through a bunch of guys till Oscar.
Last week she was just at Griffs and went undefeated before losing in the finals.
Of course, she is a prodigy and has great potential, so her beating up on men would be the exception.

Did she win?
IMO she shouldn't even be playing in those events as a "professional." All she does is play pool correct?
Running through a bunch of guys that are over 100 Fargo points shy of being a bottom of the rung pro really isn't that impressive in the grand scheme of things.
