Canadian women doing well in track, in #2 in hammer throw and #3 in 400m hurdles. Hopefully their genetics are acceptable to the boomers here!

The trans debate is a whole other can of worms lol. There's an actual debate there, not just boomer nonsense over a woman who looks masculine.

Of course, you can choose to selectively read what you want to read, and I can't stop that. You can also choose to continually harp about how I am making this a trans issue, when I have indicated a few times that it isn't. Quote: |
She was the same person then that she is now, but this time the usual suspects on twitter got all the people to pile on with hatred and ignorance because someone quit a match 45 seconds in. And after it got disproven, it just has to continue for whatever reason. Now it's "grey area" and "genetics" an "DND" or whatever
| It is "DSD", which stands for "Differences of Sexual Development", not "DND". If you were going to use it as a point of discussion, at least make an effort into getting right. Otherwise, you'll just come across as being dismissive to begin with, and not really interested in what the other party has to say.
If that's the case, what's the point of even bothering to discuss the matter? Quote: |
All this talk about categories of "genetics" as if you care about genetics.
| At the heart of it, you are correct that genetics is not the top of my concern. The biggest thing I would like to see in competitive sports is fair play. As I have already mentioned in post #68 though, for better or for worse, society has chosen "gender" to be the deciding factor in how we separate athletes into different categories to ensure fair play, and the presence of what chromosomes pair a person has is the implicitly understood reason on how athletes are categorized.
It is not a perfect system, but no system ever is. Just because you do not think the condition is something to be concerned about does not determine whether the condition is actually something to be concerned about. Citing how Khelif is not undefeatable has no bearing on whether the condition provides an athletic advantage over competitors who do not have that condition. The single most important criteria is whether Khelif has the DSD condition or not, but nobody knows the answer to that.
FYI, there is a real debate behind DSD athletes and the requirements they have been made to comply with in order to compete as well. The World Athletics Council sees it as an important enough condition to put a rule in place to limit blood testosterone level for DSD athletes. Meanwhile, Olympic champion runner Caster Semenya is a DSD athlete, and has taken the competition requirements to the European Court of Human Rights on the basis of discrimination against athletes with her condition. So it isn't just some boomer nonsense.

^ yah, sometimes this guy gets on this soapbox, just because he had time to take a deeper dive on it before everyone else and groups everyone who have honest questions about it. He creates this strawman compilation that must be MAGA, boomer, white, transphobic, bleh bleh bleh. I just ignore his pompous ass when he gets into that mood. In other topics or threads, he acts like a normal person.
I recall in previous Olympics, sincere and honest questions were also raised about Caster Semenya, the South African runner.
I see a forum like this to learn, ask questions, and discuss. It ruins it when someone demeans and dismisses ... and he is suppose to be a 'moderator'.
mod·er·a·tor
/ˈmädəˌrādər/
1. an arbitrator or mediator.
"Egypt managed to assert its role as a regional moderator"
2. a person who moderates an internet forum or online discussion.

I'm not a moderator lol. I'm not moderating anyone or anything. I am not editing peoples posts or banning people or shit all.
I have a disagreement with someone who thinks they are a genetics expert and is only raising an issue because he thought there was a trans athlete in the Olympics.
Nobody would be talking about this boxer if people didn't accuse her of being trans. Don't pretend that isn't true.
And if you get mad at being called a boomer, you're kind of being a snowflake. You can call me "woke" or "leftard" or any of the other names, and I don't care. It's just shit talking on a forum, who cares?

You sure like to harp on stuff that people have already said they're not doing. Once a credible argument by someone else is made you just go back to saying the same untrue shit like you never even read their posts. No one here thinks it's a trans issue but go on keep bringing it up.
Boomer, deranged, snowflake etc. please StARt TaLkING LiKe ThIs NeXt so we can really start to take you seriously. Shit talking on a forum that takes me back, but I thought we are like 40 now lol.

Back to Olympic chat!
An exciting photo finish for the men’s 100m final. Noah Lyles backs up his talk with a gold medal win.
He beats the Jamaican runner Kishan Thompson by 5/1000 of a second. .005 seconds! https://youtu.be/GiZXl2FJwwk?feature=shared
Lyles torso crossed the finish line first:

Shit talking on a forum that takes me back, but I thought we are like 40 now lol. | Because there's nothing else to talk about. "I thought she was trans, but she's not, so it must be some other genetic issue that caused her to be strong" is the point you guys are making. It's a point without any basis, except from a dubious blood test from a disgraced former boxing organization that has been dropped by the IOC and then moved to disgraced country Russia from Switzerland..
So what else is there to say?
Forget boomer or anything else. I'll apologize for that if it genuinely upset you. I'm sorry.
But it's a bad take and that's that. You don't know anything about this person's genetics, so you don't have an argument.
There's nothing more that can be said really.

If you're into tennis, some good stories:
Djokovic beats Alcaraz, Alcaraz has had Joker's number for the past few Grand Slams, Joker finishes the Golden Slam, Gold medal is the only event that he has not won up till now.
Canadian mixed doubles team also medalled.

You guys sound crazy as hell arguing about that boxer 
There has been a lot of misinformation spread on this whole debacle. Either way check the girl she's fighting next: 
They all kinda look like dudes

That mens 100m was insane
Fuck it’s incredible when athletes are cocky or confident and they actually step up and perform. Lyles what an incredible race.
Was saying to my wife that like the Olympics in a lot of ways show how crazy F1 is. So of course like a swimmer, or a track athlete, etc. they compete quite a bit outside of the Olympics but a gold medal is the ultimate prize. It might be only one time in those 4 years you even get a shot and if the stars don’t align perfectly you miss your chance. Could be anything, jet lag, didn’t eat right, didn’t sleep, just didn’t have it
F1 drivers have to literally be at their peak performance 1000% concentration once a week in a different time zone, potentially across the globe, for up to 2 hours or more, 24 times a year.
If you’ve ever ridden a motor cycle I find that is the only thing I can think of that is basically requiring your full attention 99% of the time.

What are they going to do without Lebron, Curry, & Cupcake Durant 4 year later ?

Damn... apparently our Olympic bronze medal pole vaulter, Alysha Newman, has an OF (side?) hussle, and makes over Cdn $2M from the platform. https://dailyhive.com/vancouver/cana...ar-side-hustle

Looks like it's just bikini pics, no different than a typical IG account. Maybe a bit of nipple is shown, or a bare bum (edit after further investigation: or some asshole behind thong)
Good for her getting $2 million a year for that!

Noah Lyles gets the bronze medal in the 200m final after testing positive for Covid. https://www.sportsnet.ca/olympics/ar...s-200-m-final/
-quite impressive that a world class athlete can still medal even though he's sick with Covid.
The Botswana runner Letsile Tebogo had a big lead as he run across the finish line to win the gold medal. No strong finish from Lyles.
He gets a second bronze medal to go with his bronze medal at the 2021 Tokyo Olympics in the 200m. -can't win them all!
