Good system is good. Capitalism!
Good system is good. Capitalism!
Deadspin is showing a gross lack of understanding of human anatomy and physiology and a strong adherence of sticking to presumed sides. Sorry, but the “liberal” side of this argument is wrong and destroys women’s and girls athletics. Sacrificing the many for the few is akin to cutting off your nose to spite your face.
Everything about this article - including its headline - is patently false.
I’ve participated in this debate a billion times, and no matter where the line is drawn, SOMEONE will be mad about where the line is placed. However, it is a very foundation of sport that the separation of the sexes mandates a line be drawn.…
This is a good thing.
Deadspin sure does love to rail about this topic without providing much in terms of an alternative. What should they do? Until you come to the table with an actual solution for defining men and women’s sports, drop the act.
I think if you are willing to approach this subject honestly, it should be obvious that a line must be drawn somewhere. If not, the logic eventually leads to acceptance of a single “open” division between the sexes, effectively extinguishing women’s athletics.
Yeah, OR it’s to try and keep people with the physiology of men from competing against women.
Everything else aside: Just because she’s “only” 3 percent faster than the other women doesn’t mean it’s not the testosterone making that difference. The world’s fastest men are 10 percent faster than the fastest women, but all that means is that Semenya isn’t as good as the world’s fastest men. Neither am I, but that…
WRONG. The point of the rules is to keep Women’s Sports alive. But, you already know that.
As heartbreaking as this is to start with its even more so when you know Doublelift’s story.
I absolutely adore Zlatan. A rare player that is wildly boastful and almost always backs it up with on field success. Also if you follow his career you get the pretty sure sense that Zlatan is in on the Zlatan persona joke, which makes it all the more charming.
KimYe also aren’t leaders of a major intersectional movement. Regardless of your stance on Tamika Mallory, how are the two even remotely comparable?
Here’s a thought: maybe wait until your broken game is no longer broken until you make it into an esport.
Another excellent article. It was obvious Ortiz was exhausted by the time the fight ended. Wilder seems like a good guy, but as a figher . . . that pawing motion he uses instead of a jab, I don’t know.
Ugh, 15 still seems really young. I can’t believe the age of 13 was being considered. :(
“It comes down to parenting and raising a smart kid. It’s always come down to that.”
I am sad to admit that my child was doing this behind our back for 3 weeks. He was getting in trouble in school, showing off and hanging out with other kids that he wanted to “fit in” with. After catching an Instagram post he thought we wouldn’t see (he’s not supposed to have social media), I took his account over and…
I don’t own firearms or hunt, but I do enjoy fishing. I also have two children who are coming into the age of needing piles upon piles of soccer, tee ball, basketball equipment, sneakers etc. Dick’s is going to get all of that business going forward.
It’s a weird world we live in where we are entirely reliant on the morality of companies. Net Neutrality? Up to the companies. Guns? Up to the companies. Fair wages for workers? Up to the companies....
That is the strongest statement that I have EVER seen a business put out, especially considering they are a sporting goods store which ties directly into the outdoors culture. This made me tear up. I’m sure they’ve run the numbers and realized just how devastating this statement could be, but they did it anyway. What…
