Quidditch to change name, citing J.K. Rowling's 'anti-trans positions' (archive.ph)

both leagues have been quietly collecting research to prepare for the move and been in extensive discussions with each other and trademark lawyers

the name "quidditch" is trademarked by Warner Bros., which produced the "Harry Potter" movies, and as a result the sport's expansion has been limited in its sponsorship and broadcast opportunities

This is quite obviously the real reason they're changing the name. Rowling's politics are simply a convenient excuse and bringing it up also serves as a message to Warner Bros. that if they fight back they'll be accused of transphobia.

Might I suggest the Flying Adventurous Gaming Groups Of Talent. They play for the Legendary Ostentatious Supreme Excitement Reality Cup against the winners of the Naruto Intense Gravity Grinding Extreme Run.

I heard the Xiden admin had a game imaginary play session on the white house lawn.

They had a quidditch team at my college, its super cringe. They actually do run around holding brooms between their legs while throwing around balls to score points. Its a way for harry potter dorks to feel like they are doing something productive when its just larping.

Lose the dipshit broom sticks and it would be far less cringe

If you want to throw a ball around with a stick there's a few other ways to do that that aren't as cringe. I see no reason for a new one.

TERFs and groveling christcuck bluepill SIMPs - both so ass blasted over the trannies. Thank you for the smile this morning. You both really put me in a great mood!

Stay mad bitches. Men & trannies are going to smash all of your girls-only club and all of your toys and there isn't anything you can do about it. Progress! Progressivism! This train has no stops, bitches.

Why does the entirety of society live in abject terror of a significant minority thats more likely to kill itself than actually do anything other than screech online.

I'm still looking for the Babylon Bee heading, or perhaps this being an April Fools' article. Despite already low expectations I'm not sure I could have otherwise been convinced that college leagues exist for quidditch to the point that they carry brooms around between their legs despite serving no purpose. These people are all so far beyond mentally ill.

JK Rowling's position is anti-rapist.

How did they get anti-trans from that? kek

It's reportedly "one of the few mixed-gender full contact sports," according to the association.

I do enjoy the banner image of the article of the dude casually wrecking the ucla chick.
