Ultimate now effectively faces a binary choice: 1) Pursue the Olympics & exclude trans players or 2) Chart a path forward outside of the USOPC (again), survive the ensuing onslaught & position our sport as an inclusive option for future generations of players.

It's so bad. I knew that Ultimate Twitter was dead but now that I've hijacked BeingUlti I can definitely pronounce the deceased. All that's left is to hopefully offer a proper eulogy that maybe a dozen people will see, and then sail west like the others...

Do you believe Sport is an inherent good?

Or does Sport merely reflect the people who play it? Or the social environment where it's being played?

Let the dialogue begin!
