When are you going to atone for your racism for covering privileged white men being drafted? You must publicly confess again, and I want to see a video of it, complete with performative guilt and even a tear or two and promises to do better. MaoistStruggleSessions

Report: One in three Canadian girls drop out of sports during adolescence - Sportsnet.caThe first national study in four years on sport participation for girls aged six to 18 has found that one in three Canadian girls drop out of sports during adolescence. By comparison, the dropout rate for teenage boys — aged 16-18 — is only one in 10. I'm sorry this isn't a study, comparing 12 years of female participation with 2 years of male participation? What are the dropout rates for girls 16-18? I'll bet not a whole lot different between male and female. Who would have guessed it boys and girls have different preferences 🤦‍♂️ You’re not comparing apples to apples here. Of course 12 years of data for girls is going to be higher than just 2 years of data for boys. This is hugely misleading data. You should be comparing the same age ranges to draw an accurate conclusion.
