You’ve heard stories of men’s soccer teams of varying ages taking on Olympic of FIFA caliber US Women’s teams and drubbing them mercilessly. Here’s the latest example.
At a mixed tournament in NC, the Wrexham Red Dragons took on a US Women’s team and wrecked them. The final score was 12-0, with Wrexham (ironically pronounced wrecks ’em) scoring five goals in the first 14 minutes and seven total in the first half.
The Soccer Tournament was created by the founders of The Basketball Tournament. “TST” is a high-stakes 7×7 World Cup-style event with $1 million on the line.
Thirty-two teams from eight different countries were in the mix, including 23 former players from the U.S. men’s and women’s national teams with nearly 1,400 matches of combined experience, according to NBC Sports, for the inaugural event in Cary, N.C.
The ladies pretended not to care about their impending doom, saying they were just happy to be there blah blah blah, but that was clearly drubbing damage control.
“What’s the worst that could happen? We lose 16-0 to Wrexham? We don’t care because we’re living, we’re being bold, we’re being brave.”@HeatherOReilly knows the result isn’t everything. 🙌

Yes. Bravo for showing up and perhaps knowing you had no shot in hell, but what does this say about men playing women’s sports? It says that birth sex matters. It says there’s an advantage for men and that the level of competition is different. And just so we’re clear, if those are the terms upon which you wish to play, have at it, but you’re not encouraging future generations of girls, and don’t you dare belittle them if they are reluctant to engage in that environment.
Let’s call it choice, except they increasingly don’t have one. They either play with or against the “boys,” or get smeared as bigots and haters. And what do we think this will do to the future of women’s sports?
The time, investment, pain, and all the things they give up for years to elevate their game might be for nothing. Vying for spots on the team that get filled with boys instead of girls. Losing to young men playing gender games who rob girls of success, awards, scholarships, and self-esteem. And let’s not forget the increased chance of injury in that environment.
And what parent will see what’s ahead and encourage a daughter to pursue something that will gobble up vast amounts of their time and her time, and not just personal time, but family time?
There is a long list of benefits to girls who pursue athletics, but the Left’s war on girls and women is robbing them of that, and if you need to know why it matters, Wrexham 12 – USW – 0.
