Kaliyev Waived

[Bollocks]

I'm not sure I would call it "toxic masculinity." Maybe he's just not cut out for pro sports. Maybe he'd fail in a competitive all-female pro sport team too..

Have you not paid any attention about what was happening in some Canadian juniors locker rooms, about some NHL coaches and their methods etc.? And that was just the more radical examples that leaked into the media...

I know that this phrase is often overused, but IMO in pro sports it probably isn't.

Now whether you find that problematic or not is a different story altogether. I was just explaining what I assume is an issue for Kaliyev and why I feel for the kid.

EDIT: female comp. sports can also get very messy, just with different hormones behind it. I didn't want to paint a black-white picture, but I do think this is more of a problem with male population, with our high level of emotion suppressiin and tendency to be more radical in expressing our competitive edge and superiority (superiority which is often not actually true, just wishful thinking).
