DGPT Reinstating FPO Division at Upcoming Events, Launching New “United Series” Allowing Transgender Women to Compete (discgolf.ultiworld.com)

In a major reversal, the Disc Golf Pro Tour has reinstated the FPO divisions at all upcoming tournaments under a new “United Series” designation that will permit Natalie Ryan and other transgender women to compete in FPO at select events.

Cancelling FPO at some the most iconic tournaments was such a brain dead decision. Even if you have legitimate concerns about the competitive fairness of allowing transgender participation in FPO, it is clearly much more sensible to let Natalie play than to torch the entire division.

That entirely depends on what the other women in the division would do. If they staged a boycott then it would cause even more negative press and could akin to torching the division.

tbh it’s hard for me to imagine any boycott being more damaging than iconic tournaments like Ledgestone and MVP being straight up cancelled.
