" THE WAY IT'S BEEN DONE IS ABSOLUTELY APPALLING" FALLON SHERROCK STANDS UP FOR NOA-LYNN VAN LEUVEN

[@thadonis.]

There shouldn't be abuse thrown at Noa. But there shouldn't be silence or blanket "acceptance" on the situation either. Fallon, despite her excellent work ethic, is making good money from darts, a lot of females can barely afford to play it. It's easy to have the opinion Fallon does when you're in such a relatively privileged position compared to the other ladies. Their grievances shouldn't just be ignored.

[@damianleah6744]

She’s in that privileged position by winning matches.

[@stevenwileman2443]

Privileged? Hard work and graft is not privilege. Fallon has earned everything she has.

[@thadonis.]

@@stevenwileman2443 You're missing the point. I said she had excellent work ethic. As do all the ladies who have to travel miles in beat up cars, alone, with little to no management and come away from tournaments with less money than they came with. There are very few women darts players making a good living from the sport, so for one (and possibly more) of these spots to be taken up by non biological women is cause for (at least) discussion. And most people agreed Fallon has experienced priviledge, eg her inclusion in big PDC events/world series. She had massive backing from sky and the PDC (eg allowing her to go to the worlds through the Matchplay after she failed to qualify, would they have they done that for anyone else? hmm). You can work hard AND have privilege. Most people work hard. You're saying those other ladies don't graft? Ask them.

[@stevenwileman2443]

@@thadonis. you made the point she was privileged. That is factually incorrect and has nothing to do with what your now backtracking on. Be honest, she is not priveledged and she is entitled to her view. Don't change the narrative now. Noa in female darts is a different point to your original.

[@thadonis.]

@@stevenwileman2443 Factually incorrect?? I gave EXAMPLES of her privilege, that's the opposite of backtracking. I'm not going to make my point a 4th time. Try actually reading a comment you're replying to.

[@niall3973]

Interesting to hear what her opinion would be if it were a case of 10 trans top players suddenly turning up and winning as opposed to just 1. Could this potentially happen in the future with the attraction of improved prize money? How would the womens game look then?

[@ironknobsteelworks4063]

This is the PDC fault allowing men into a woman's sport. Let's see how forgiving fallon is when she is losing money to men in women's events.

[@martinpreece6501]

100% 👍

[@Bob-ts2tu]

it won't affect fallon as much as some of the more rank and file women who may be pushed down the prize list by a man for a comparatively small prize pool anyway, she aint thinking about them IMHO

[@JohnScarrott]

Well said. The haters have lost the second you bin/block/delete them.

[@davidwhiston4896]

It's great to hear that Fallon has been offering support to Noa Lynn. What people don't seem to understand is that Noa Lynn has broken no rules. The current PDC rules allow trans females to play the women's series. If you don't like it, direct your anger to the PDC, not to Noa Lynn. The abuse she's getting at the moment is horrible.

[@Ochechris]

Yes there is a way to do it. But Noa shouldn’t be allowed to play

[@Bob-ts2tu]

at least not in the womens category you mean

[@gstjersey5284]

Disappointed to hear Fallon go down this path. She has taken the cowards approach, just to avoid being cancelled by sponsors. There is no place for men in the women's series

[@stelws3377]

Unfortunately it’s not cowardly, but just business. We live in a world where expressing your opinions gets your cancelled - Fallon has worked far too hard to throw it all away on calling a spade a spade…

[@EgoChip]

Or maybe she genuinely feels this way, because she is right?

[@Doublebasist]

A lot of this comes down to definitions. How you define male and female is different to how men and women are defined. There is plenty of interesting science out there and I would encourage you to look into it more.

[@salemstrange2091]

She’s genuinely just a good person and is supporting her friend, maybe don’t be a bigot and try to sympathise with noa

[@Easy_tiger69]

Fallon is a joke here. Shes not the one with her spot being taken in tournaments but the woman ranked 9 or 17th or 33rd because of this woman is. Women get spaces in the pdc worlds which Fallon has benefited from image if more and more identify as women the womens game would be a joke and force out more girls whow want to get into darts because of beau and fallon

To be fair darts is a sport where being male or female makes absolutely no difference because there’s no physical advantage whatsoever.

[@phixi0n]

Then why are all the top players men?

[@BartoniGaming]

Nobody deserves abuse. If the ladies are happy with Noa playing then so be it

[@Bob-ts2tu]

in all sports where this disgrace is allowed, those that stick their head above the parapet become a target for the woke signalling organisers that allow this in the first place, and the silent majority don't want the grief or hassle, or to be labelled as some sort of 'phobic'. mind you, phobic means nothing these days

[@byrnez2755]

Fallon has always shown a high degree of professionalism and maturity in interviews. She is right... the issue with Noa-Lynn can be debated over, to find the fairest possible solution for everyone involved... but in doing so... hate towards Noa-Lynn is not justified regardless of your position on Noa-Lynn's playing status etc. Unfortunately.. people have used this situation to spew out their bigotry. Their position, I believe, has very little (if anything) to do with darts. Good on Fallon to check in on Noa-Lynn (not surprised Fallon did that, tbh) and support her at that moment and now. Noa-Lynn, as a human being, needs that support to absorb the abuse from the bigots.

[@GusMac6129]

Why is someone that makes the proven scientific fact, that it is biologically impossible to change sex, to be called a bigot. That makes you no better than those you are abusing.

[@0Davie0]

Interesting comments. There has to be a debate, but you wont get it on here, Phil will just delete comments "blanket silence" doing such things will definitely help not Noa in the long run.

@@yessanknow302 that's not the point. Noa hasn't broken any rules. Be angry at the PDC for making stupid rules. I agree that Noa shouldn't be allowed to play in the female game. I do not agree that Noa deserves to be hated on for taking advantage of what Noa is allowed to play in.

There is obviously a biological difference otherwise why is the top ranked woman on yearly averages only ranked 269?

[@AnxiousFork]

​@@ironknobsteelworks4063 Because generally women cant make a career out of it. Bc even in the womens series there is hardly any prize money. Therr are a lot less women in darts, meaning that there will be a lot of women throwing poor averages. Even top male players start playing worse when against bad opponents. When women throw a 100 average, they will nearly always win the match. At the mens its nearly the norm. Women generally dont have to up their level bc they can win with an 80 average.

It does no one any harm to refer to trans women as women, it causes real pain and does real harm to refer to trans women as men. Why are people looking for a fight over these terms? Why aren't we just trying to help people that are going through something difficult?

@Bob-ts2tu Issues of competitive advantage are complicated, scientists, researchers, and the governing bodies of different sports are still trying to sort things out.
