If the process was fair? I think the race analogy is apropos, some sports are disproportionate in racial demographics at top levels, and that's fine. Lower levels get more proportionately mixed. 1/

People who participate for the love of the sport mostly participate in venues that either are mixed or are disproportionate for reasons unrelated to capability segregation (pickup game or organized leagues in areas whose populations are themselves disproportionate). 2/

Promotion to higher tiers is ability based. This is all much better than having leagues or tiers de jure segregated by race, even in sports where race might in fact be correlated with top-level performance. /fin
