My nephew received a baseball scholarship, he was a pitcher. First game of the season he damaged his shoulder. He could not compete he lost his scholarship.

its not fair

pregnancy affects a woman’s athletic performance but not a man’s

waa waa

a man should lose his athletic scholarship too even though he did not do anything that affects his athletic performance

Actually I give feminists too much credit. They can't seem to realize the distinction between an male athlete who's girlfriend or wife is pregnant vs. a female athlete who herself is pregnant.

I bet if a man got in a motorcycle or skydiving accident and broke his leg he would lose his athletic scholarship as well. An athletic scholarship is a great privilege. It comes with performance expectations and responsibilities.

Common sense and personal responsibility aren’t for everyone, obviously... given your post.
