One neat thing some people do is use grammar.

“That Barcelona, a very good team that nonetheless suffers from several glaring deficiencies, lost in the Champions League semifinals to Liverpool, one of only two truly great teams in Europe this season and probably the one best equipped to solve the particular problems this devilishly complicated tournament poses,…

Billy Haisley ordering a cheeseburger:

Leave Arya out of this. She’s a hero.

The inevitable incoherent Billy Haisley article 2 days after something awesome happened is the death knell for my interest in it.

Seeing your name on a post about what should be an interesting topic is like getting a free steak dinner that’s been sautéed in piss.

All the next best women are also black. How specifically is this racist?

Maybe, just maybe this is pretty grey one, I can see your argument somewhat, but I see Nancy’s too. I actually end up finally agreeing more with Nancy due to the XY and elevated T levels. I get how deadspin and gawkers sites write things in a black and white my way or the hwy shtick, but, maybe, just maybe you’re…

I feel like people really just forget that this already happened and was not really a big deal because the media was respectful of privacy.... but was still a really big deal because there were medals in jeopardy and is definitely responsible for some of todays limits.

Precisely! The qualified person with years of experience has an informed, nuanced stance on the issue and Deadspin misconstrues it and debases her. It’s pretty annoying.

This is a tough issue because it is not possible to be “fair” to both trans-women and cis-women in sport. If we can accept the assumption that a pre-transition transgender woman has an athletic advantage over cis-women, is it fair to cis-women to have them compete head to head? But is it fair to such trans-women to…

Look, this is probably not a hill to die on. It’s not self-evident that Caster should be allowed to compete in women’s sports. Testosterone is a performance-enhancing compound for sports (for men too) and, at some point, having too much of it does make a person physiologically different from women. I don’t think…

Researchers Katrina Karkazis and Rebecca Jordan-Young noted in a paperon the topic that public information, when gathered, all shows that the women being investigated “are exclusively from the Global South, and all indications are that they are black and brown women.”

Equal right for LGBT? Yupp. all in. Got my rainbowflag a long time ago.

I couldn’t even get through this gobbledygook (it is). Two of the most basic tenets of sport are competition and winning. Having men (hereby generally defined as those human beings with an XY chromosome pattern) compete against women (...XX...) defeats both of those basic tenets. Surely, women could beat men in…

But in this case, aren’t the women Semenya is beating also almost exclusively black?

Imagine thinking you know more about women’s sports than Nancy Hogshead-Makar and deciding to actually write a blog post about it.

Sorry Diana, it’s time to stick with the expert on this. 

Read these folks if you really want to learn about the issue from, you know, the people with phDs and stuff. https://sportsscientists.com/2019/05/on-dsds-the-theory-of-testosterone-performance-the-cas-ruling-on-caster-semenya/?doing_wp_cron=1557325851.0379309654235839843750

I don’t see how this is racist in anyway. Honestly, I can’t see any racist ange to this at all. You may be 100% correct that some women feel “feminism is only for white women”, I have no way of knowing that, BUT THIS case seem devoid of racial inequities, as most of the athealtes this women feels are being…

This article spends a lot of time attempting to diminish the role testosterone plays in Athletics and implies that it does not give an advantage to Semenya. I’m highly skeptical, given testosterone’s use as a PED going back to the East Germany days. If it is true that Semenya has no advantage, then why not allow all…
