I had a disturbing experience at the rink last night as a hockey player and I wanted to shed some light on it so others might be aware.
@jtribs14 Why are you against joining a female league? Not condoning the team, just seems like the strength differences would be a factor (ie perhaps having to play one player more carefully than all the others).
@jtribs14 My 10 year old daughter and her friends just had a similar experience with Futsal indoor soccer league in Ottawa Ontario. Repeated comments from boys in the league, parents demanding their boys get placed on boys-only teams, boys refusing to pass to or include girl teammates.
@jtribs14 Crying is a boss move, no one should be ashamed of normal reactions to abuse. Holding them in just means more of their nonsense for you process alone in your own beautiful life.
@jtribs14 You've proven their point
@jtribs14 I mean do you think men’s league teams are super nice to each other? You were an easy target mid game, demanded a public apology and cried in front of everyone. Like I get being upset but what happened to overcoming your obstacles?? They’re just bonehead beer leaguers lmao
@jtribs14 Stay exactly where you are! God put you there for a reason. If as grown ass men this is their way of treating other men’s daughters I feel sorry for their wives & children. That must be a truly unhappy, inauthentic & loveless household. I’m so proud of you. Keep the faith!
@jtribs14 Sorry this happened and glad you have the strength to share your story
@jtribs14 I’m sorry this happened. I’ve played beer league in NYC, Jackson Hole and Idaho - we have ladies in our top tier divisions, and nobody shows disrespect. Many are elite. Those guys should be ashamed - and your teammates should take some numbers for the next tilt.
