Who is more included now than with the previous titles? Who was not included under the previous titles? Easier to understand, sure, that makes sense. Inclusive is just the current year buzzword being attached because current year.

"We do have members in our group that have dwarfism and kids that are wanting to play," Leanne Barnes, Association of Little People of Alberta board member, said Tuesday. "They have to be in a league or go into an arena where there is a word that's used as a slur against them."



i mean, even if it's like 6 people, why offend them with an inferior system simply because "That's the way it's been done".

Im sure we can find 6 people that are offended at damn near everything. Who decides where we stop? Who decides which groups get catered to and which do not? The slope is getting more and more slippery every week it seems.

You're missing my point. Yes, you're right, we can find six people to be offended at everything, but this literally makes more sense. You seem to be arguing against a good idea because you don't want to cave to people being offended which is not rational at all.

This is a change that literally has no affect on the game or how it is played.
