🚨RILEY GAINES JUST WON — THE NCAA SETTLED AFTER FOUR YEARS AND RESTORED HER AS THE SOLE FINISHER IN THE 2000M FREESTYLE!

They finally folded.

Riley Gaines says she’s “beyond thrilled” that her lawsuit against the NCAA has been settled after more than four years.

Gaines will receive an undisclosed amount in punitive damages and have her name restored as the sole finisher in her place in the 2000M freestyle.

“They finally did the right thing,” Gaines told supporters at a rally outside the courthouse. “And I promise to use this settlement to further the cause of keeping women’s sports safe for women.”

The NCAA hasn’t returned a request for comment.

I’ve blocked this fake news channel on X.com. It is not worth the bandwidth.

So, was Lia Thomas awarded any money, and if so, does he have to pay it back?

Elon has hard coded X so those accounts can’t get monetized.

Would you explain that for us non-techies, both what is "hard coding" and how X determines which accounts to hard code?

Sadly, all the smart people are forgoing biology to study law. Maybe they’ll get on the Supreme Court.

It’s difficult position to maintain when the international federation has a strict definition of which kind of trans may compete in Olympics or other meets. The US may run into a risk of cannot send “gold medalists” at national champions to compete because they will not be eligible.

Good news - NCAA needs to be de-politicized and stick to actual sports.

Nike is going to work their hardest to push men in women’s sport because of Obama’s mandate and how college professors work.

She always won. The only reason why the male tied her is because he was much taller and had much longer arms to touch the timing pad at the same time as she did. Her center of mass was always in front of his center of mass.

I’m glad the NCAA stepped up and (probably reluctantly) did the right thing. I hope the WNBA will step up and do the right thing as well but, so far, they are resisting.

“RILEY GAINES JUST WON — THE NCAA SETTLED AFTER FOUR YEARS AND RESTORED HER AS THE SOLE FINISHER IN THE 2000M FREESTYLE!” Good for her, for a man his times weren’t very good.

Actually Musk did a massive purge of millions of bot accounts after he took over, and has just done another purge of 200,000 fake/bot accounts just last week using Grok AI. There was a post about it.
I'd say by far the majority of accounts on X currently are genuine accounts. Still plenty of far left crazies there but they are real people for the most part.
You want bot accounts go to BlueSky.
This particular post was done by a real guy, but he got it wrong.

Among other tell-tales, Grok can identify posting patterns that are different between humans and bots.

Humans actually go offline for hours at a time.
Bots post ‘round the clock ‘cuz they never sleep.

I don’t know what the internal process is when Grok identifies an account exhibiting bot behavior, but I’m aware there is a mechanism in place for that, and it’s coded into the daily functioning of the site.

Oh. Very nice.
I hadn’t heard about that most recent bot purge.
That’s good news that it’s an ongoing effort.
