There’s gamesmanship, and then there’s this. Punching a guy in the back of the head like this is bullshit, and if he gets suspended I would have no problem with it even as he plays for the team I follow. I know he’s frustrated but this isn’t the way to handle it. He seemingly can’t help himself. It’s indefensible.

I take it none of these people eat or drink? Or breathe? All of which involves putting stuff in the body?

This article is an exercise in scientific illiteracy and bad journalism that’s a fitting output for Trumpistan. It demonstrates a complete and utter ignorance of the actual issue.

“In other words, while seeking to prove that women with naturally high testosterone have an unfair advantage over their competitors, Bermon admits no one has actually studied the effects of testosterone on women’s athletic performance. Instead, he assumes that because female athletes have used synthetic testosterone,…

The very existence of women’s categories as separate from men’s is to help low testosterone athletes.

It isn’t an obsession. Allowing men to compete with women will be the end of women’s sports. For all intents and purposes Semenya has the biological makeup of a man. I’m sorry that it isn’t fair for her, but life isn’t fair for a lot of people.

Categorically not racist. And not even sexist. I can see both sides of that - she had abnormally high testosterone because of a birth condition which is not normally occurring. No fault of hers, of course, but also not a level playing field - and sports assumes that there is one. That’s why there are different weight…

No it was not. People like you just continually, and I have to assume intentionally, miss the key issues at play here. 

I can only assume ESPN is lining up Izzo to come on the network and talk about accountability.

Why does she have to defend herself for getting roles? The people who cast should be catching flack more than her. If she thinks the role is right for her and it helps develop her craft - why wouldn’t she take it?

How COMPLETELY opposite of the Trump Administration... where “shit” and “fan” are never far from each other.

It is my understanding that Japanese people are brought up with a proper respect for the property of others and the government, something plenty of westerns are lacking.
I see a lot of vandalism and no one cares because it’s either not theirs or government owned and it saddens me because they still wasted the time and…

Cleaning up after themselves is great and all but if Ireland had qualified there’d be a roving band of partying fans repairing after themselves..

The irony of her dining at a “Mexican” restaurant is mind-blowing.

No one’s “forcing her to take birth control”. Like ALL other athletes she has to hit the eligibility criteria for the group she wants to race in. How she meets that criteria is not their business. And as the article points out, she has a number of alternatives if she is unwilling or unable to meet the criteria. She…

Every day, friend.

Remember when Barack was President and we didn’t have to worry about who anyone was fucking and what porn they were watching?

Man, it’s like a huge part of my youth just fucking blinked out.

This is terrible news to wake up to. Anthony Bourdain’s shows changed my life in more ways than one. My partner and I were both huge fans, and I can’t imagine how different our lives would have been if not for Bourdain. His wit and crotchety brand of humanism were delightful, and will be missed.

They don’t care
