Every man is entitled to be a pussy. Right?
This is tax payer sponsored league.

If your contest is tax payer sponsored like this tennis league then you should sue. Of course, we know that it is liberals that like to sue so you will have leave FR and go over the the DU.
Freedom of Association would seem to imply you’re free to join the league or not - and I’ve heard no claims to the contrary. When you’re in a sports league, though, you follow their rules. Choosing who you play does not appear to be a freedom of association issue (for league games, not casual ones.)

“Guilty!”
Twaddle.
I never turned down a request from any female to play racquetball. At least one that I played against quite a few times was nationally ranked, and against her I won sometimes and lost other times. The ones who don't belong figure it out pretty quickly. The ones who do belong deserve credit for competing on a level playing field much as Judit Polgar and Rachel Alexandra have done. (Well, Rachel does get a weight allowance but they hardly matter and so I think she deserves credit.) The opportunity to compete should not be denied to anyone who has the demonstrated ability to compete.

Sorry, I missed that. But she’s still an azz for trying to force anyone to play against her.
It is very exasperating to read about women that do not know their place.
In coed softball leagues, they usually have a minimum number of women on the field at a time. If they didn't, the guys would have a couple of females that sat on the bench and maybe got in when a game was out of hand. There have been several attempts to get women into professional sports, either as a hockey goalie or in basketball. These experiments start with great fanfare and end with a whimper. Usually, they don't even report on the tryout cause she gets whipped so badly in the first twenty minutes it's embarrassing. A few years ago, there were all these headlines about the first woman to compete in NCAA men's football. She was a kicker, and she didn't kick off or attempt field goals. Extra points only, and I think she missed one of those.
There are always made up events, where they get the top female athletes to compete against average guys and they make a big whoop about it.
Men can't be allowed to compete in women's leagues or brackets because if they were, there wouldn't be any women's brackets.
I also understand why men don't want to play against women when they signed up for a men's league.
I'm also tired of people pretending that women can compete with men in athletic events. A top woman can compete with an average guy, but at the top level there's no contest.
Examples (may not be exact numbers, but close): Top female bench press without lifting shirt is 420 pounds. Top men's is over 700. Top female with lifting shirt is 520. Top men's, over 1000 pounds.
The men are still pussies for being afraid to play against her.
That’s true also, but I don’t believe that it should be a sue-able offense, to be a wimp, if that’s really all it is for all the men. Maybe they just don’t like her, but you’re not allowed to not like people, especially if they’re of a protected class, these days.
If she’s such a stud, turn pro.
I would have no problem playing anyone, male or female, who was better than me. My problem is just being able to play tennis, period. I love to play, but my body doesn’t go along with the program. Too many arm and shoulder problems. It’s a lot more fun playing better players than it is weaker players. Case in point I never once beat my older brother playing table tennis when we were kids. I never gave up, and I knew how good I was. I was never discouraged from playing. I was determined to beat him the next time. Which never happened. Plus playing against him made me a better player. I could usually beat everyone else. Anyone who doesn’t want to play against a stronger player, regardless of gender, is only defeating themself.

So it helps if you lift your shirt?
Our sneaky, lying little bitch of a president is of the protected class. I feel quite free to despise him.
