Lia Thomas on Thursday night became the first transgender athlete to be crowned National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) champion, winning the 500 yard freestyle in Georgia - to a silent crowd.

Thomas, 22, scorched her competitors in Atlanta with a 4 minutes 33:24 second race - much to the chagrin of some of her teammates, and to those in the stands, who remained quiet as she won.

How can this disgusting man see beating a bunch of women as a victory?

It would be like if Tom Brady quarterbacked the Buccaneers against a pee-wee team and then started high-fiving after beating them 70-0.

No class whatsoever. I'm glad the crowd gave the real first place winner the proper due.

Why don’t trannies just get their OWN EFFIN’ TRANS TEAMS! OMG! Just remembered someone saying there were hundreds of genders. This could get ugly!

We know pretty sure why the Boy Scouts wanted to get in the Girl Scouts but.....come on, man!

It’s not a world I can understand. I have been watching 1883 ..the prequel to Yellowstone.

Maybe we are like the people of that day that thought it was scandalous if a woman didn’t wear a dress

That’s a MAN baby! What did the tyranny do, tuck its meat and veg between its legs for streamlining? Must have had some such trick to dominate the race like that. Oh wait….it was a man vs a bunch of girls. Great moments in sexual deviant history!

Would love to see that happen to the WNBA. I might even attend a game so I could cheer him on!

I wonder if Bella Abzug & Gloria Steinem would support their fellow woman Lia?

Honestly, I would be ashamed of myself if, to compete, I had to change my gender.

It really goes to show what a failure he is on many levels.

I cannot fathom how these guys are not walking around hanging their heads in shame.

i think everyone is bending over backwards to try to prevent getting sued by the freak.

Sometimes you come across amazing things on the internet that you have never heard of...so in honor of freakish bodies...

this video of the ross sisters defies my belief. I dont know how a human body can do the trick at 4:13. These days one would think she had a harness and it was cgi. Maybe she did.

It’s amazing.

1883 is entertaining but the Elsa character is pure fantasy as is the notion the central and northern plains were overrun with white bandits

While Indians when not revenge scalping not so bad

Taylor is not woke but studio shot callers insist on this crap

At least there wasn’t much if any queer nation

The fastest female swimmer is a man.

Feminists are fine with this.

The official that permits this travesty should be shot.

i can understand why they cant show how it really was in this woke environment

it was real enough for me to go back in time and imagine what it was truly like for those brave souls who ventured out into the unknown.

The scene with tom hanks at Appomatix showed the toll on soldiers.

Kind of weird watching it as Putin is off bombing Ukraine.

War..same as it ever was..just better technology.

Lleyton Plattel (you never heard of him) set the US Swimming Age group record for 500 free in 2017 with a time of 4:24.79. Thomas blows away the female competition with a time of 4:33:24. One little thing about Plattel, he set the USA age group record for 13-14 year olds boys.

Thomas sucks as a swimmer. He swims with women because little boys can kick is ass. Thomas is pathetic on every level. He's is a coward. He feels no remorse in ruining sport for women. The only people worse at Penn are the coach and administration for allowing that to happen. By the way, Joe Biden has some sort of institute named after him at Penn. That is paid by the ChiComs. That's no conspiracy theory, it just goes to show what happens when people of the same mindset are associated.

A man competing against women and actually has the gall to accept awards like he accomplished something.
