The BBC did not broadcast live coverage of transgender weightlifter Laurel Hubbard’s event at the Tokyo Olympics after it warned that it would report viewers who questioned her right to compete as a woman to “the relevant authorities”.

The British broadcaster did not air the women’s weightlifting on Day 10 of the Games live, when the transgender New Zealand athlete crashed out of the 87 kg+ category after failing to record a single valid “snatch” lift, and showed eventing, showjumping and athletics instead.

It also did not broadcast US gymnast Simone Biles’ bronze-medal winning routine live on BBC1 this morning in favor of track cycling, choosing to show the event on its iPlayer and red button services.

The BBC, which provided dozens of livestreams of different sports during the 2012 and 2016 Games, is now only able to show a maximum of two live events at one time after the International Olympic Committee sold the European TV rights to US company Discovery.

But a spokesman declined to tell MailOnline why it did not air Hubbard’s event live — despite threatening to report viewers who “bring hate” to the BBC Sports Twitter page to the “relevant authorities” the night before the weightlifter”s event. …

She is not and never will be a woman. The hell with the IOC for allowing this and “F” the people who continue to watch this.

You are correct, see how your brain starts to rewire itself.

HE will never be a woman...

[mykroar]

She is not and never will be a woman.

Since when does advocating fairness in competition equate to “Hate”? The Left hasn’t just butchered the language, it has dive-bombed reality, logic and reason. It is unadulterated nonsense!!!!

Will cry like one when it fails at anything; umm, wait one ...

Did they show it here in the US? I haven’t watched the polemic games although i’m a big fan of women’s beach volleyball. ;o)~

Report viewers to “authorities”? Don’t the “authorities” have anything better to do with their time? Aren’t there a lot of knife attacks in Britain? Shouldn’t they be more concerned with that?

[Empire_of_Liberty]

The BBC would report viewers who questioned?

Do the TV’s in Great Britain eavesdrop on what viewers are saying?

Sounds like they read “1984” as an instruction manual.

I was curious what "relevant authority" the BBC would report a commenter to. Didn't take long to find it. From the UK cops' "True Vision" website (https://www.report-it.org.uk/): "Any incident or crime which is perceived by the victim to be motivated by hostility to people based on their sexual orientation will be recorded as such."

So the UK cops can treat anything as a hate crime even if it's not a crime, which I'm assuming means incidents of posting things about the pretenders.

I correct people who say immigrants too. Remind them it’s illegal aliens.

she’s a dude who came in dead last to a bunch of girls...

Being concerned with knife attacks would be islamophobic.
