::::I highly doubt that "every single grammar book" would say that, especially after my research on the subject. Some people are just not willing to accept its usage for whatever reason. Still doesn't change that fact that it's a lot less "clunky" to use either, being only a single word as opposed to three.

:::::Because a true pronoun for a gender specific group does not exist, that's why some of us resort to "they". However, using logic, it's incorrect, because "they" is supposed to refer to a group of people while "he/she" refers to an unidentified person. It is hassle using he/she and it does tires readers, but "they" is not correct either, especially in formal writing. A solution is to change "player" to "players". | |||
