Baseball & softball are different sports that can & should co-exist. Athletes should be able to compete in the sport(s) that best suits their skills & passion. The problem is excluding women & girls from baseball & the lack of funding for softball, not the existence of softball
I also don't think the opportunity for women to play baseball in a new league would even exist if it weren't for the decades of work women in softball have put in, especially in college settings, to prove that people have interest and investment in this kind of thing
in no world is it less competitive. i get to travel the country and play better competition then i ever would with womens baseball. i people who think we would rather play baseball are so gross
as a d1 softball commit whos played baseball and softball this is such an insane thing to say. i enjoy every single aspect of softball more. i like that its quicker i like the shorter baselines and love the pace of it and there is no situation where id rather play baseball
women’s baseball > women’s softball. always. women should not be relegated to a softer, less competitive version of the national pastime and it never should have been that way in the first place
