The dude Lia Thomas wins women's NCAA swimming title

[JoeB131]

Especially the men competing.

Oh, noes, the effeminate man is beating the mannish women! It's chaos, I tell you, chaos.

If this is the worst thing we have to worry about, our lives are pretty good. Was it only two years ago we had recession, riots and plague?

 

[Harpy Eagle]

Is anyone actually watching female athletics? Because frankly, except for sports like figure skating, most of these women are not pleasant to look at.

Wow, so the only reason to watch female athletics is if the women are attractive to you?

Really? This sort of blows the rest of your position out of the water.

Works on the assumption a trans person is crazy. Other than their gender identity, most of them function just fine.

I give you Colonel Jennifer Pritzker, cousin of the current Illinois governor, who despite being trans, rose to the rank of Lt. Colonel in the Army National Guard, runs several charities, some related to veterans, and generally functions just fine.

or Amy Schneider, who recently completed a record-breaking run on Jeopardy! Seems she's perfectly well adjusted.

I was talking about you being crazy, which you clearly are.

Very misogynistic. This dude is warped.

I'm not saying this is the end of the world. You're just too much of a slave and a lunatic to side with reality here.

Divide and conquer. Separate out into groups. Identity politics gets its roots from the Frankfurt School in the 1920s after WWI proved karl marx and Das Kapital wrong. Much to the dismay of the marxist disciples who were so committed that they devised another way to implement that worldwide revolutionary plan. Use political correctness to divide and conquer their true great threat and that was the America Republic where the middle class had a loud enough voice and since the American Presidents weren't Prime Ministers, kings or emperors, they knew it would a long struggle. They infiltrated the three main avenues by which to implement it. Educational system, by the extension the American media and the entertainment industry where the pied pipers are so effective.

Hence what we see now. The so called marxist system which for intents and purposes feudalism. Which is another one their tactics. Communism, marxism, socialism, democratic socialism, all packaged words in order to dilute the minds into thinking the real power elites really really really really care about them.

As tent cities rise in mass numbers as the power elites stay silent and carry on with their plans. As their trained monkeys yap away everyday about utter absurd bullshit.

The 1950's called. They want their Anti-Communist hysteria back, and Joe McCarthy's corpse.

The problem is, of course, America only had a middle class because FDR gave them one, and the Republicans have been trying to take it away since Ronald Reagan made war on the unions.

I heard men beat him.

That’s the thing! The men who come in first place on the women’s team were in last place on the men’s. That’s how big the advantage is.

i wrote elsewhere that when I was in my 20s, my tennis teacher (who had gone as far as regionals) played against Chris Evert for fun, and best her almost every time. Just think: a no-name male tennis player consistently beats the #1 woman in the world.

 

[Harpy Eagle]

Here's the thing. Most women will never get anywhere near standing on one of those platforms.

You actually made a correct point, well done.

This is the reason why it will be hard to get organized protest from the athletes against allowing transgenders to compete against biological females. The first ones that do it will face backlash and it could even harm their capacity to make a living in the future, thus they have very little to gain and much to loose.

To be fair, all athletics kind of bore me. But watching an WNBA game is kind of horrifying... which is why no one does.

So you get only 230,000 people watching the WNBA championship, vs. 15 million watching the NBA championship.

I'm not saying this is the end of the world. You're just too much of a slave and a lunatic to side with reality here.

Lunacy is letting the people who would put women back in the kitchens create a fake moral panic over a non-issue...

 

[JoeMoma]

I have no problem with transgenderism, their life they can live it how they feel.

But I do have an issue with them being allowed to compete against biological females in sporting events. The only way it is going to stop is if the athletes themselves stand up against it.

We are starting to see that happen, which is good.

The athletes wouldn't need to stand up against it if the leadership in sports organizations such as the NCAA would use common sense.

The guy-woman was actually cute as a guy. Now he’s a weird-looking woman.

But hey, as long as he doesn’t hurt anybody, it’s his business. In this case, he IS hurting people - many people: the women who have spent most of their lives honing their athletic skill, only to have to compete against someone with the greater lung capacity, muscle mass, and size of a biological male.

Then why should anyone care about female athletics other than female athletes? Would anyone care if there weren't bags of Title IX money lying around?

Or maybe they are starting to get wise to the moral panics of the right?

Hey, I remember in 2004, when Geo. W. Stupid was going to save us all from eeeevil gay marriage. Ignore my failures on Iraq and the economy, I'm going to save you all from gay marriage!

Except after the election, he completely forgot about the issue, let his cronies loot the banking system, and eventually, we ended up getting gay marriage anyway.

So, you only watch to be turned on by the women?

I agree that the WNBA is pretty bad, but I feel the same way about the NBA. Now I love me some college BB both men and women. I love watching Track and Field matters not if it is women or men.

None of them do I watch to check out how hot the competitors are.

Goes back to the point, if you spend your life honing your skills, and you can't beat a mediocre male competitor, what's the point?

Maybe they should hone their skills in practical things that will still be useful for them after the age of 30.

 

[JoeMoma]

I consider myself pretty liberal and abhor any discrimination against LGBTQ people. However, this is one area I may part ways with some. I think transgender people can have a full and rewarding life without competing against the non-transgendered.

They are welcome to have their own transgender olympics (which I won't be watching).

The novelty of a transgender olympics may make it fun to watch, at least for a few minutes....kind of like midget wrestling.

The NCAA might be the most corrupt group on the planet. They care nothing but about the cash that the big time sports bring in. Common sense is the last thing the NCAA will ever have.

OU got in trouble because three student-athletes received food in excess of NCAA regulation at a graduation banquet.

The NCAA suspended a player for 6 games because way back when he was still in High School his mother took out a loan from his former AAU coach and long time family friend to avoid being homeless. A loan that was paid back before the kid even made it to college.

Never except the NCAA to do the right thing

Obama was against gay marriage before he wasn't.

I was too, a lot of people were. Most people are capable of changing their mind on things

So that means men can destroy their leagues?

Why were you originally against it? What changed? Lol
