The Train Daddy is back with sports news, life lessons and politically incorrect talk. All aboard! Once upon a time it was 1984 and a little boy named Zach was born. The following year, the greatest movie ever was released—Back to the Future—and 34 years later, here we are! Now it’s 2019 and that little boy has grown into a man named the Train Daddy, a dude cooler than Marty McFly and a dude who writes genius articles. A dude who was born a dude.

Can you imagine going back in time and telling others that men were being allowed to claim womanhood and compete in professional sports with biological woman? Can you imagine Doc Brown trying to comprehend the madness of such an idea. His brain would probably produce 1.21 JIGGAWATTS of “what the hell?”

Let’s discuss a few recent sports stories and the Equality Act recently passed by house Democrats. Listen to the words of Duke professor of law Doriane Coleman: “it will be the end of girls’- and women’s-only sports.” This crazy act would give the federal government power to enforce ideological conformity on one of the most controversial social issues.

Last issue we discussed the Titans’ draft picks. This issue I could talk about how the Predators had one of the most frustrating seasons I have ever watched, or I could talk about how the NHL Playoffs have been amazing. The editor in chief of the Pulse may prefer that I did. Here is a quote from the captain of the Pulse: “I love some March Madness, love some World Cup, but the playoffs for Lord Stanley’s Cup is the greatest sports tournament in the world!”

Personally, I love hockey, I love NFL and college football, I dig international soccer and I am enthralled with NCAA basketball. You can take the NBA and MLB and give them away for all I care. But I have a deep appreciation above all for history and the integrity of sports, and right now it’s under attack. So, let’s get into the beef of this enchilada, discuss a few recent stories and give a few opinions.

Recently over this Memorial Day weekend something very unfortunate happened in the world of female sports. A transgender woman who competed as a man as recently as last year just won an NCAA women’s track national championship. CeCe Telfer was born Craig and competed on the Franklin Pierce University men’s track & field team his first three years of college. Yet the new and testosterone-filled female CeCe won a D-II national championship women’s 400-meter hurdles race. As a man, CeCe, I mean Craig (sorry, I know it’s confusing), wasn’t even mediocre. In 2016 and 2017, Craig was ranked 200th and 290th respectively among the other men in the 400-meter hurdles.

Then–boom-shaka-laka!—Craig becomes CeCe in less than a year, dominates the field of biological women and is now considered a national champion. The idea that Craig Telfer can change identity practically overnight become CeCe and immediately become a national champion is proof to why this is a big deal and if feminists truly cared about women’s athletics, more voices would be raised.

Polls overwhelmingly show people have problems with this, but the liberal agenda has taken root and many are afraid to speak out. If we truly are okay with men being allowed to play sports with women, we should just abandon gender leagues completely and have one league. I bet the feminists would fight for the integrity of women’s athletics then.

Here’s one more recent story regarding transgender athletics. Let me first say this, before people email me at titanman1984@gmail.com telling me I am transphobic and sexist, let me express my 100-percent-honest feelings that any person in this world has a right to live their life as they see fit without fear that they’re going to be threatened. I absolutely know I would personally fight to help any gay or transgender person if they were being assaulted physically or verbally.

That said, I am still willing to voice an opinion I believe in. Regarding organized athletics, I believe that many female athletes work too hard to have a biologically stronger, larger, naturally born male unfairly join their ranks.

The examples are becoming numerous. Just a few weeks ago, Mary Gregory competed in a local weightlifting event, checking the female box. After months of training, Mary stunned spectators and fellow powerlifters by not only winning, but literally breaking world records for her age and weight class. The weightlifting community is serious, and they took notice.

Mary took to social media after the event stating, “What a day 9 for 9!” “Masters world squat record, open world bench record, master’s world dl record, and master’s world total record! Still processing.”

Shortly after the event, news of the transgender lifter who broke records began circulating the internet. Then just a few days later, Mary was stripped of her records and title.

Paul Bossi, president of 100% RAW Powerlifting Federation, stated “she’s not female, not biologically anyway.” He went on to clarify “In our rules, we go by biological, according to the rules, she can only lift in the men’s division. I am not trying to hurt anyone’s feelings, but I have to follow the rules.”

He even claims that no one knew she was transgender, after winning the event and breaking records Mary was forced to take a post-match drug test and, wink-wink, they saw a wink-wink.

Tennis legend Martina Navratilova, who in 1981 risked her career and sponsorships after coming out as a lesbian, is currently an outspoken feminist, an outspoken Trump hater, an outspoken anti-gun advocate, and is surprisingly leading the fight against transgender athletes.

Martina recently stated, “You can’t just proclaim yourself a female and be able to compete against women. There must be some standards and having a penis and competing as a woman would not fit that standard.” Soon Martina will be hosting a new documentary on trans athletes called Trans Athletes: A Fair Playing Field? Martina is already being bashed for what her critics call transphobic conservative talking points. Martina fights daily and constantly posts online in support for left-wing policies, yet she stands strong in her opinion that transgender athletes make for an unfair playing field.

All right, I should stop before I decide I would rather live my life as a female. I mean it would be nice, I would call myself Zacherina. I would win a gold medal as a USA female hockey player and I would be a princess. We all can have dreams, I reckon, but they can’t always become reality.

One last subject—ESPN.

Recently new ESPN President Jimmy Pitaro made news by stating, “Without question our data tells us fans do not want us to cover politics.” That’s surprising, right? It’s not. It’s all about the Benjamins, and after years of liberal discourse and ratings decline, it makes sense. ESPN became increasingly liberal under former President John Skipper (who recently left the network due to a drug dealer attempting to extort him by using his cocaine habit against him). Once more than 100 million paid subscribers strong, ESPN has declined to 80 million and the studies show liberal bias as a main factor.

Maybe ESPN has learned a lesson? I don’t mind some political discourse during daytime TV, but not during live games and not when the opinions all sound like a recording. I would like to think the anchors at ESPN could handle a few conservative voices added to the discussion. You can’t have anchors calling the president a white supremacist or Stephen A. saying Tiger Woods isn’t black because he thinks a certain way. You had the Michael Sam circus, Caitlyn Jenner winning the Arthur Ashe Courage Award, to the shaming of Curt Shilling. I could go on and on but will leave it there and truly hope ESPN has learned a lesson.

So, let’s wrap this article up with some quick hits! The Stanley Cup is in full swing right now. I am rooting for the Blues, I am just glad Chicago nor Pittsburgh will be adding a Cup to their resume. The NBA Finals are also in motion, but I am a rather suspicious NBA fan. I find myself unable to root for the super-team Warriors and I can’t root for anything Canadian unless its maple syrup or John Candy. How I love the movie Canadian Bacon, an all-time classic.

I can’t wait for the NFL season to kick off. I am so excited to see the Titans’ new additions in action, specifically future fan favorite Adam Humphries along with a hungry Derrick Henry. I imagine this is Mariota’s last chance to prove he can stay healthy. It’s his final year on contract.

If you have any comments, email me at titanman1984@gmail.com. I truly would like to hear my readers’ opinions, and I always reply.

That’s it, the Train is rolling into the station. Enjoy the summer, grill some food, play outdoors and, above all else, hold family and friends close, because life is to short not to embrace it and enjoy every moment. Choo-choo!
