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. …

I guess the BBC did not want to go off half-cocked inn their reporting this event?
BBC= British But Communist
Did well in the clean and jerk, tho.
We are not that far behind the UK. So maybe 20 years from now, in the USA:
Child: “Daddy, what was free speech?”
Father: “Hush, child. It’s a hate crime to even ask that.”
Did she stain her nuts or were they removed?

Monty Python was just ahead of its time. And they thought their competition was Benny Hill.....
Jesus where is the limit going to be on this. If I was in prison for a long period I’d totally be identifying as a woman.
That too.
How did HE make the team in the first ,LOL
dissent is illegal.
Kinda like the purple kneeler losing to 15 yr old dudes.
No free speech in the Queen’s domain.
I think you inadvertently neglected to emphasize the most important relevant phrase which is: “... perceived by the victim ...”
One would think that even it’s most fervent proponents of this insanity/asininity would be embarrassed, but one would be wrong.
Since you invoked Jesus, He made it plain that things would be getting “as in the days of Noah”.
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.
If someone at the BBC really said what we started with here, I'm curious as to what authorities to whom you plan to report this.
If this wasn't the sentiment of the BBC, I'm curious as to the source and what you plan to do about it.
If someone wants to discuss this, send me an email. It would be my pleasure.
I signed my name and city.
Let's wee what response I get.
Police will probably beat them to it, but it's still pretty damn frightening to me.
Read last night That theOIC will be changing their rules regarding transgender and woman’s sporting event. They even acknowledged that some events favor men over women.
Never question your overlords. Hail Hydra after kneeling before Zod.
