Thats obvious by the speed of the game‚ the size of the ball the sheer amount of layups compared to dunks when a player gets a fast break.I wonder if Dawn Staley also supports 18u playing with 12u‚ or heavyweights fighting the featherweights‚ or Olympians competing in the Paralympics.It always sucks seeing a well-established woman who has broken barriers for women in sports turn into a sellout in the name of inclusion. The womens category was created to be intentionally exclusive by design. Go Hawks.Iowa coach Lisa Bluder faced the media a few hours later and was asked the same question‚ but didnt really provide an answer.Iowa coach Lisa Bluder declined to answer whether or not transgender women‚ biological men‚ should be allowed to play in womens sports‚ Dan Zaksheske commented.My focus is on tomorrows game‚ Bluder said.She added that its an important issue but an important issue for another time‚'; Zaksheske commented.Iowa coach Lisa Bluder declined to answer whether or not transgender women‚ biological men‚ should be allowed to play in womens sports.My focus is on tomorrows game.
