Let's rap.
Johnny McProPants scores a 9.3 in his girl's ovaries.
No problem. Hes still gonna be shredding, ideally.
Here's something.
Theres a lotta ladies in skateboarding right now, theres definitely more to come. What happens when a paid, sponsored lady skater gets the touchdown scored in her womb?
No company is gonna want her boardsliding 9 stairs in this condition.
So are they gonna drop her? What if she wants a family like any other dood skater can have and go for multiple kids. What if multiple women riders hypothetically enter a pregnancy pact and they're out too?
I know dudes have been out of the game for way longer injured and milking it for indefinite terms far in excess of 9 months. Fuck, just look at 'Girl'. But nobodies choosing to snap their leg or ACL and be out.
should be an easy call, at least to me, to keep em on but nobodies ever really the same after giving birth, it changes the body.
One day there will be a girl flow rider who was probably about to get dropped any day now for any number of reasons who says shes pregnant when the word comes down that shes not gonna be on the team anymore. She gets the axe, than a buzzfeed/Twitter war of self righteous people looking for a cause who have never stepped on a skateboard will ensue of a size that will dwarf any Jason Jesse or TnT wave, the likes of which weve never seen before.
They're contractors able to be released at seconds notice that is the nature of the game. Good luck explaining that major companies.
I'm just saying it's coming. I'll be skating just like I have been. It's never happened in skateboarding to my knowledge, and is an unprecedented 9 months out of the game a company will have to handle one day
