England hockey threatening women’s team with points deductions

[Theeyeballsinthesky]

It seems that women’s hockey teams in England are being threatened with points deductions if they withdraw players due to safety because the other side is fielding a TW. Sides are using TW to do drag flicks which given they’re men are much harder and faster than those done by women.

teams have been told if they come off the pitch due to concerns for their safety, they will be deducted points.

Remember how Edward Lord was involved in numerous sporting governing bodies, using them to put in place policies removing single sex sports, changing rooms etc? People like him make a beeline for these organisations

It's rather like the odd coincidence that so many men who publicly campaign to remove women's spaces turn out to have most interesting hard drives.

Dear god, I just googled this Lord character - WTAF? He seems to have had his fingers in governing bodies and government committees and things all over the shop! Everything from the British Basketball League to the Anne Frank Trust. Oh, and he's a JP.
