    The men playing women sports thing is intertwined in both. You just don’t like it nor like who asked the question.

    Well they said she's in a cult. Obviously that's a little ridiculous, yeah I dont like that.

    I was surprised Dawn Staley gave that guy the time of day to be honest. It was the day before the National Championship. Can you imagine if some political guy who didn't cover football all season asked Bear Bryant about ladies playing football the day before the Crimson Tide played for the national title? He woulda ripped the guy a new asshole haha

    Staley shoulda done that instead

    Coaches have been asked polarizing political questions since 2017. Where have you been? This isn’t a one-off, you just don’t like the topic or outlet.

    Usually they are being asked though by people who covered them all season, and not the day before a championship game, unprovoked. Unless you have a similar example. I've been here on this planet since 2017!

    Its kinda moot anyway because Staley actually did take the time to share her opinion with the question and even gave him the opportunity to follow up. I know I wouldn't have and I don't think Bear Bryant, my example, would've either

    My sister told me a transgender boxer competed at the Paris Olympic games. I missed it. She told me one of the female opponents complained about how hard she was hit or something like that?

    It doesn't seem fair to me but beyond fairness in the fighting competitions it's inevitable that one of the female combatants will be seriously injured if not killed in the future.

    I'm not against transgender athletes competing but they should be competing against other transgender athletes. There should be a third category at these competitions men, women, transgender.

    Not a trans fighter, she was born female. This is from an article about her that explains it briefly.

    "It stems from the Russian-dominated International Boxing Association's decision to disqualify Khelif and fellow two-time Olympian Li Yu-ting of Taiwan from last year's world championships, claiming both failed an eligibility test for women's competition that IBA officials have declined to answer basic questions about."

    Seems the Russians were looking to eliminate some competition.

    Of course some could say this is all a cover up to promote some agenda.

    Blame the IOC for that, not the skeptics. I read the news reports. There was something really funky the IOC’s narrative. They said the IBA “gender eligibility test” that disqualified the two boxers from the Worlds was “illegitimate,” but they never said why. All they did say is that it didn’t measure testosterone. So, near as I can tell, it was a one question test: Drop your drawers and describe what you see.

    That said, my thoughts on trans athletes is kinda evolving. I’m not there yet, but I’m thinking that of the goal is excellence in sports, women have been fucking it up long enough and maybe men SHOULD start taking over. Same thing with kindergarten artwork. As in: What the hell kind of fire engine is that?! When’s the last time you saw a fire green fire engine?! Gimme that crayon!

    I honestly did not read too much on it but the dropping of the drawers test doesn't really fly anymore. Doctors can slice and dice and make a new whatever, so you may not know if it's real or doctors creation. Which really opens us up to more questions, like why have we not seen a double entrance vag, or a hydra like penis yet? I think porn in the near future is going to be really interesting.

    As far as artwork, I feel ya. My grand baby is going on 3 years old and still can keep the damn crayon inside the lines. You'd think an extra few hours locked in the dark closet would have taught her a lesson but I guess not.

    As I understand it with that female boxer, it’s a natural medical condition. Just cause it gives her an advantage, how can you ban her?

    Do we ban 7 foot men from playing basketball now too? That’s unfair that my 5’9 ass has to try to guard them
