I think we’re acknowledging the facts:

Japanese pro baseball is probably the most competitive on the planet behind the MLB. Let’s not get too dismissive.

In a competition, the best wins. The majority of people will never win a title in any sport. How many people throughout the years have run into a Michael Phelps, or a Michael Jordan, or a Tiger Woods, or a Roger Federer? Did we tell Martina Navatilova she was to good so it wasn’t fair to the other female tennis

Red Sox fan hits grand slam; Red Sox give up grand slam. This has been your universally feel-good baseball highlight.

Truthers.

Well, we already know he’s drinking piss.

“The greatest joy and most love I’ve ever experienced”

Has this fucking guy seen the men who’ve coached the Browns?

This is not discrimination against women.

So the Broncos are trying to sway the officials by complaining that Brady tries to sway the officials.

I was really touched by the pain and grief on that child’s face right before he hits his brother in the balls.

So, we exclude folks with more fast twitch muscle fibers from sprints because they have a natural “unfair” advantage?

As a person of comically limited athletic ability, the idea that “[the fact that other women have a natural advantage is] so discouraging, lots of women may quit” should be a compelling argument for restricting women with natural advantages strikes me as ludicrous to the point of obscene. Boo fucking hoo you hit that

Doesn’t your own comparison of Dutee Chand to Caster Semenya put the lie to the idea that testosterone alone would be a predictor of success, which you imply when you say that basketball is a skill sport and not contested by height? Given there are few NBA players under 6’ and none under 5’9”, wouldn’t your argument

This is theoretically possible, but very difficult, if not impossible to implement. Partly because testosterone levels vary, so for one competition, you’re in Class A, another B. That could be overcome by having fewer classes (and thus bigger differences between them), but then you have to decide how many classes?

Good, they should be successful. Why shouldn’t they be? They got a good draw in the genetic T-dept. Mazeltov. Tip your hat. We all can’t be the best at stuff. This is the harsh truth of life, and competition.
