of course, but the point is that phelps competes in the highest, most elite flight of swimming competition — there’s nobody else for him to compete against. semenya could, in theory, compete against men.

The shittiness of this take is what should have bankrupted Gawker, not the Hulk Hogan lawsuit.

You have terrible taste in Pop Tarts and you should be ashamed. The only ONLY acceptable Pop Tart is frosted brown sugar cinnamon. The rest are pure garbage.

Was really disappointed in the outcome. Was looking forward to more footage of fans crying in the stands. Can’t get enough of it.

well she also has testes, so it’s not that simple

he also races in the most elite class on earth so whatever benefit he has is both marginal and already at the highest possible level of competition. not so with semenya — there’s already a men’s division.

seriously? then what’s to stop Michael Phelps from identifying as woman and winning another 20 gold medals?

that’s only partially true. men and women are in separate track events for a reason. if semenya’s testosterone levels are off the charts for a woman, then there’s every reason in the world to scrutinize.

“We’re all “day-to-day” in this crazy sport called life”

Interesting. I guess I’d just assume that when the govt, or any business entity for that matter, drop nearly $30 million on a contract, they look into the details of how that contract will be fulfilled. Maybe not, I guess. I can’t believe $30 million was the cheapest bid for a couple ten thousand helmets either.

i believe the point is: “why would the government buy helmets from a company that uses prisoners to make them?”

TRD sports can also be 4WD

Close, but not exactly. The base Prerunner Tacoma is the same suspension and ride height as the base 4WD. The TRD Off Road packages in both 2WD and 4WD come with bilstein shocks and wider tires. In the 6 cyl models only, the TRD Off Road also featured a locking rear diff.

I’m just stoked you guys posted the Twitter post in Portuguese for the three people on Deadspin who can read it.

ew, gross.

dude, Neymar is playing.

Really really really hoping to see some more Brazilian fans crying in the stands during this game. Good lord, anytime one of their athletes or teams is losing the cameras show people balling like they’ve just been diagnosed with a terminal disease.

Good holy lord person I’ve never met - maybe you’d like to try that again without being a total dick? For your information, comments to the author directly are rarely responded to, and so I picked a comment with which I agreed, and that already had significant comment activity. But by all means, explain to me that I’m…

see here’s the thing: a really good relationship means you still get to do all that shit, even when you live together. i don’t ask my wife when i decide to decorate, and she doesn’t ask me either. but, we’re very compatible and we have largely the same tastes. i can’t even imagine the horror of living with somebody…
