CBC trades NHL to platform male athletes pretending to be women
Is this the future of CBC sports coverage?
The CBC is ditching nearly 75 years of Hockey Night in Canada after this season, walking away from NHL broadcasts to pour resources into women’s professional leagues instead.
Those same leagues are still deciding whether biological males who identify as women get to compete against actual females. Some Canadian amateur and university rules already let men in on self-identification alone, with no hormones or surgery required.
Professional outfits like the Professional Women’s Hockey League are still writing their policies and consulting trans activist organizations, while international bodies in track, swimming, and cycling have already slammed the door on athletes who went through male puberty.
In a CBC News broadcast, CBC journalist Mark Carcasole explained that CBC will be shifting coverage to women’s professional sporting leagues, among other sporting coverage.
“CBC says it is going to increase its sports programming in other ways to fill that gap. Most notably, they say they will be focusing on the next Olympics, the Commonwealth Games, Women’s Professional Leagues, 20 major world championships,” said Carcasole.
