Common sense dictates that men don\u2019t belong in women\u2019s sports. Similarly, women don\u2019t belong in men\u2019s sports, especially as the most important person on the pitch — the referee.<\/p>

I guess FIFA (soccer\u2019s world governing body) has no common sense.<\/p>\n

Yesterday, in a match between Ecuador and Germany, a female referee unfairly rewarded (not deservedly awarded) Germany with a goal that should not have stood. The overwhelming consensus is that a German player committed a foul in the lead-up to the goal. The female ref missed the obvious infraction.<\/p>\n

Controversial decisions and every goal are reviewed by Video Assistant Referees. They stood by their woman. Perhaps their decision was tainted with chivalry rather than officiating consistency. Regardless, it was a horrendous call initiated by the female ref and then countenanced by overly deferential VAR refs.<\/p>\n

The ref and her female-empowering coterie should woman-up and take responsibility. Rather, the DEI police are out in force as they emphasize VAR\u2019s role in letting her call stand, while downplaying the awful initial call by the little lady in the middle. I bet a male ref with similar optical illusions would be castigated, but the standards for women are much lower.<\/p>

We don\u2019t want men in women\u2019s sports, so what is the purpose of letting a woman participate in men\u2019s soccer, anyway? And in the most important \u201cposition\u201d of all? Besides her confounding decision-making, she offered no value above or beyond what a below-average male referee would contribute. In fact, in this match, she seemed to be touchy-feely, and that\u2019s the last thing we want in this increasingly \u201cdelicate\u201d sport. Motherly instincts belong in the home, not in the soccer cauldron.<\/p>\n

The main commentator for the match was Ian Darke, who is eminently listenable for a Brit. However, his sidekick analyst was Landon Donovan, an ex-player. When, at the end of the match, Darke broached the sensitive subject of the female refs\u2019 performance, Donovan\u2019s reflexive response was incongruous with reality — he said it was really good. Huh?! Then he said, \u201cI really mean it\u201d; then I knew that he really didn\u2019t mean it, but was probably following pre-production meeting orders to treat her delicately. What a wussy-whipped wanker.<\/p>\n

At a men\u2019s World Cup soccer match, women belong on the sidelines, preferably as cheerleaders or fetching refreshments.<\/p>
