But imagine growing up as a queer Liverpool fan from Liverpool from a city where the rest of the country/media and politicians ostracise us from everyone and don’t welcome us anyways. And then imagine two of the only men you have been able to trust and idolise throughout your life who have always said they support you and will stand up for you just abandoning you for money.

So many people in this thread seem to think everyone should have the exact same body type or else the sport isn’t “fair”. I played rugby in my school in PE against players who play in super league now (top European rugby league division). They were physically stronger and in better shape than everyone else. We were much more in risk of being injured by them than anyone else. However isn’t that sport? They shouldn’t have been forced to not play to account for smaller less skilled players.
