He stated that high level middle school male athletes would be able to beat D1 women's champions. That's a generalization. Whether it is his opinion or not, it is prejudicial based on sex. That's the definition of sexism. If something meets the definition, it is 100% called for.
It's not a generalization, or an opinion. It's simply a fact. How can a fact be prejudiced or sexist?
I'm sorry if the truth hurts your feelings, but a top level Jr. High AAU team would absolutely wipe the floor with the DI women's champs. That's not to say that the women don't put in an incredible amount of work, or they're not deserving of praise. But the boy's team is going to be way too athletic for them to be able to compete with.
Watch these two videos. The first one is a 14 year old eighth grader who was 6'1 at the time. The 2nd one is Britney Griner, who is 6'9, is a WNBA player (a professional), and was the player of the year in college. She is considered one of the most dominant players in women's college history. Look at the difference in athleticism. That translates all across the game; rebounding, defense, strength, speed, etc.
