It’s okay, I’m pretty sure she’s not allowed to speak.
They sure did set fire to the room; be careful what you wish for

Dear Jesus, why would you wish that? If Univision does anything, I hope it’s give us something to replace Kinja.
HEY.
I loathe carrying things on planes. I know it’s super weird, but if I could carry nothing and not be bored, that’s what I would do every time.
Ahem.
I do! Their time is the semi re-run was good enough to get them into the final, where they did this:
I agree with all of this.
“I hope Caster Semenya wins. I hope she wins everything. Even the golf.”
Thank GOD that Katie Ledecky looks “feminine” enough to avoid this bullshit.
She runs a 1:55.28. David Rudisha, who won gold in the mens’ 800m, runs a 1:42.15. Why is she more male than female? How would this be more fair?

Sure, it has some effect. But female bodies produce varying amount of testosterone naturally. Caster isn’t taking anything to help her perform better, which is what other female athletes would be doing. Some people are just better at sports than other people, even when the only population you’re controlling for is…
Taking Caster out doesn’t get you a medal, but thanks for being a sore loser, Lynz.

Maybe half a pass, though.
Why would Hollywood deal with that at all? This is just dumb.
NBC showed a clip of Bolt walking out toward the field and catching this race on the tv monitor. Like the rest of us, all he could do was stand and gape in awe.
