A 6th grade girls team from Kentucky was set to go for the year-end championship tournament, but was told they were banned due to fears boys teams might 'retaliate' if they lost to the girls team.

There. Fixed that for you.
Place the blame where it should be: on the parents, for raising misogynist, violent little shits. And the boys for, you know, being misogynist, violent little shits.
I'm seriously sick of people arguing this stuff is "just boys being boys". It's not. It's learned behavior. All of it.
yes, everything is learned behavior, but 6th grade boys aren't taking social queues from middle aged women giving them lectures on playing nice.
Stop excusing their shitty behavior. If the boys can't be trusted not to get violent then the BOYS need to sit out. "Well, they're violent, and we can't talk to them about it, it's just easier to make the girls sit out" is extremely fucked up.
You have to understand that by saying "well the boys are already like this, so what are we supposed to do?" you allow the whole thing to be perpetuated. You are shifting the conversation away from where it should be.
Like, I get what you were saying, and you're not exactly wrong but this is the wrong time to bring it up. It's a distraction from the actual problem. And that only serves to enable these boys and their parents, and the administrators for failing to hold the right people accountable
