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.

I just got 30 days in FB jail for pointing out the obvious.
I posted the skit from the script THE LIFE OF BRIAN in which Stan wants to become Loretta and have babies.
I also posted a link to the You tube web site. Took them thirty days to catch me!

Boris? He’s kinda busy right now.
If someone could kindly send this to the BBC: If a human is born with a penis and testicles, he can't legitimately compete in ANYTHING as a woman. If such is his desire, he can report himself to the authorities as a predator or to a psychiatrist as mentally ill. These are the only two options.
And Brits with boob tunes pay a TV tax to fund the threats...
BBC equals the voice of the “Government”.
...boob tubes...
It’s astounding that any media company in the western world would go down this path…
“Snatch lift” —he wishes!
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAhahahahahahahahaha! ! ! ! ! *snort* haha...
Those who fought in the Battle of Britain must be rolling over in their graves…
Ooooo the author are going to tell us what to say.
I thought we saved their @$$es from the NAZIs?

“Listen to this or you will be reported to the authorities” - of couse, the BBC is taxpayer funded.
Well, well. What to do?
