Thanks. So if I’m not misunderstanding things, the testosterone-based (and other) restrictions are only applicable to XY athletes. I have to say, the IAAF's decision seems a lot more reasonable in that context. 

the standard is based on the amount of testosterone normally found in women

That rule sucked ass. It was as if the NFL had a rule prohibiting forward passes longer than 30 yards.

Normally you can expect someone holding a champagne flute to demand to speak to a manager. Nice of her to upend the stereotype.

Oh, that’s delightful. 

“At tennis, at tennis!” Gimelstob clarified, before going on to beat his eight year-old child by a score of 6-0, 6-0, insisting that he humiliated his own son in order to ”toughen the kid up.”

...it kind of made sense, and was even something approaching a smart political move.

How about the question of whether her chromosomes are XX chromosomes or XY? 

Well said. When I start to despair about the state of things, I volunteer for shit that matters to me (for example, last week I helped new citizens register to vote). It really, really helps.

No, but we have mosquitoes now!

Because it’s not a question of “justice”. Football is an entertainment product, and as consumers we have the prerogative to dictate who the NFL employs to provide us with that product. It’s the same as refusing to buy a ticket to see a Chris Brown concert or see a Roman Polanski movie.

I’d say he’s more of a solidly middle class man’s Tim Duncan.  

I looked it up and you are technically correct, which is, as we all know, the best kind of correct. 

His comments on Kournikova were particularly telling. We’ve all met this guy. Every girl he ever fucked is a 10.5. Every girl you ever fucked is a 6, tops. Every girl he ever got shot down by is a 3 or a 4; he wasn’t seriously interested, bro, he was just hitting on her because he was bored.

David S. Cohen is my second-favorite David Cohen, trailing (by an admittedly large margin) only David X. Cohen.

I sure hope Gimelstob gets bankrupted in the civil suit for his assault on Kaplan. Though I’m guessing Gimelstob isn’t the kind of guy who’s particularly rich in liquid assets (having already converted most of them into powder assets).

“Man, what a perfect blue building.”

Just like Kerry Collins, we should make sure to have this debate one day at a time.

Directly copy/pasted from Jon Bois. I probably should have included that in the original post (too late now) but I foolishly assumed everyone has seen it already and knew it was his.
