Supreme Court rules against LGBTQ

[hog88]

Then it would have been wise of you to make a post that actually addressed options other than leaving the sport or voting.

You sure are a cantankerous SOB.

In the case of women and girls vs. trans men ...

What in the world? Get a life.

I don't post in the LV forum because I don't enjoy watching women's basketball. I don't enjoy figure skating, swimming, or softball, either. Yet, I support those girls' right to fair competition and understand the difference between a man and a woman. And, if my daughter chose to compete in one of those sports, I would fight like hell to keep biological males out and out of the locker room.

Instead, I get to watch 7 hours of *beautiful* dancing several weekends a year, LOL.

Stoked that you're so supportive of their right to compete within their own genders while referring to their professional sports as, what was it... a "bitch fest?"

Very Christlike, kiddiedoc.

 

[kiddiedoc]

Why do you have to follow womens sports to support women being afforded the opportunity to compete? That's like saying "I'm not black, don't know any black people so why should I get riled up about civil rights?"

Lot's of men don't follow womens sports but have sisters, daughters, granddaughters, cousins, nieces ext that play sports.

Bingo

 

[kiddiedoc]

a "bitch fest?"

bitch: verb
to complain of or about

Yes, that's exactly what it has become.

 

[Orangeburst]

I can’t believe it is even up for debate

We can say this about

Christians
Conservatives
Teachers

And it would probably more true but still overgeneralizing and unfair (and douchey)

 

[kiddiedoc]

We can say this about

The Politics Forum

And it would probably be even more true and not overgeneralizing or unfair (or douchey)

I have a proposed title change:

"The Thread Where People Bitch About Other People Bitching About Trans Biological Men Bitching About Not Being Allowed To Compete In Women's Sports"

Says the guy exclaiming “bUt tHeY doN’t hAvE anY cHoIce eXcepT tO qUIt,” to justify *****ing his pants in rage over sports he doesn’t care about.

 

[Sea Ray]

As soon as you all clearly state your stance on PED testing in Masters CrossFit with similar quantity and intensity of outrage.

You can't state your opinion until I state mine? How weak minded of you.

I have no opinion of Masters CrossFit

“with similar quantity and intensity of outrage.”

I’m sure you’ll get the point eventually.

It doesn’t matter if I care about those sports you dolt. It matters that my granddaughters might.

The fact is you're just throwing $hit up against the wall and not giving your opinion on politics. That's not conducive to a productive discussion and that's on you

It's the sign of someone that has an opinion that is clearly wrong, and they know it, but they have to keep posing for their ego anyway. He looks like a literal child posting in here.

And they want to accuse those of us who FULLY UNDERSTAND this logic of being in the wrong. Once again, it's the liberal mental illness that keeps them from understanding empathy. I can empathize with Riley Gaines though I have never watched her swim. I don't empathize with the guy swimming against her because he needs mental help vs. being allowed to play dress up.

 

[82_VOL_83]

Seems preferable to be laughing at the guy raging about the rules for obscure women’s sports that he doesn’t even watch and throwing tantrums over what WNBA athletes think than to be that guy and have to convince myself that I’m not the angry one.

Keep it there and we are good. Currently, it's Co-ed.

 

[85SugarVol]

A requirement to be an active women’s sports fan, in order to weigh in on women’s sports, seems like an odd test to me.

I can understand how misrepresenting the discourse as people just “weighing in,” it could lead to some odd results.

I’m confident that anyone who tried to honestly consider the totality of the discussion, would find that the flaw is with “weigh in” and not the test.

It's the sign of someone that has lost the argument but is to bitchy to admit it.

 

[BigOrangeMojo]

I don't disagree with you, and I'm not defending my decision not to watch it. I just find the whole fundamentals argument to be terrible, especially when adult and professional women's teams always get waxed by boys U-15s across the board. That's a fundamentals problem there.

My son's club has played against teams from that same club (Dallas FC) that beat the USWNT in a scrimmage.

I've asked parents from that Dallas Club what the difference was. They pointed to my son who was the smallest defender and said "he's got 6 inches on the tallest defender the USWNT ran out there. All the technique and skills don't matter when a 6 2 player is going up in the air on a corner or free kick against a 5 3 defender....

Same way you should have to be a UT grad to be a fan. Utterly senseless.

 

[RockyTop85]

It doesn’t matter if I care about those sports you dolt. It matters that my granddaughters might.

You’ve now had three opportunities and have completely ignored the existence of choice of competitions each time. It’s almost like you didn’t know that was a thing and still can’t account for it.

That market will sort itself out. Just like it has with CrossFit or select soccer/softball and high school sports, or the various soccer leagues or the PGA etc. etc. all of them have controversial rules and competitors weigh the costs and benefits and either choose to continue or compete at other events. Nobody goes around harping about those organization’s rules constantly or tries to turn it into an us vs them. (Although I admit to believing you would if right wing pundits made any effort to make you mad about them).

If you can’t raise your kids or grandkids to not feel shame at being beaten by someone with a physiological advantage, they’ve got a tough row to hoe. The women’s 100M world record is 35 years old and it would have finished no better than 8th at the NAIA championship last year. It’s a half second behind the slowest time at the last Olympic final. If a little girl guns a 10.4 or even an 11 in the 100M and needs affirmation from the TSSAA or whatever because someone with a physiological advantage beat her then there’s shame to go around.

Same with marathons, which are routinely run as a single, mixed-gender heat. Same with basically any individual sport in which men have a physiological advantage.

It’s just people making up dumbassed reasons to stay mad about something trivial.
