Lady Ballers is the worst sports movie ever. Heck, it’s the worst MOVIE ever.

Many years ago, there was a Hollywood film called Juwanna Mann, a comedy about an NBA washout who tries to rejuvenate his career by dressing in women’s clothes sand joining the WNBA. It was about as funny as a fart in church.

I wrote about Juwanna Mann last year as part of a larger blog piece about transphobia. 

The Renee Richards / Juwanna Mann logical fallacy

Well, apparently someone decided that instead of putting together something enlightened … they would instead come up with the most puerile, vulgar, knuckle-dragging portention of demagoguery towards trans men and women.

We now have a film called Lady Ballers. 

And the trailer for this film … ugh. It’s the whole baseless trope that men would be willing to “identify” as women so they could win a championship in womens’ sports. And it goes full-bore on every stereotype, every trope, every godawful trigger topic.

Brace yourself. If the Golden Raspberry Awards were looking for a film to sweep every single category … this might be the film to do so.

Ugh. Seriously … ugh. 

And Ted Cruz is in this film? I mean, did he actually pause his normal Senatorial duties of running to Cancun while his district froze in a freak snowstorm to film a cameo for this picture? 

Yeah … no. The fact that I even have to waste blog space to comment on this steaming pile of manure means I have completely wasted the day. 

And another thing. Look at the trailer itself. The biological women in this film are shown taking brutal sports hits. And those hits are filmed with a fetish-like glee by the camerapeople, as if they’re actually personally enjoying the violence against women in the picture. 

No. Lady Ballers is nothing more than an excuse to insult and demean anyone who transitions by using the same weary, imbecilic pandering. 

Even if this film was offered to me as a free screening … I’d still feel it was a complete ripoff. 

Ugh.
