I don’t know about a cookie, but something said to me around 1975 is echoing in my brain. “Life is a sh*t sandwich, and every day is a bite out of it.” It seems that perfectly describes the world today.

Trained your whole life for a chance at olympic gold? Sorry ladies, the lefteis have determined that no gold for you! A man will be the new women’s gold medalist! Praise it as stunning and brave or not only will you get no gold medal, you will be cancelled!

Well, technically, I guess destroying the sport of Olympic women’s lifting is “making history”.

Don't forget the scene where Dundee tries to talk a despondant and heartbroken businessman from jumping off a ledge only to almost falls off himself when he hears the lovelorn gent refers to his lover 'he'.

Buy a copy of that movie now, it will be cancelled in 3... 2... 1...

I researched transgender athletes, especially those going from male to female. The lung capacities and volumes for men are so much larger that “women” who were men need to be tested as men because pathological male respiratory tests are low normal female. Muscle mass under steroid used to transition reduces Muscle mass by 5 %. It is ridiculous.

Another sporting event I look forward to not watching. Trannies and wokesters have ruined sports. If I want to hear how evil I am and how horrible America is Imwill watch a democrat speak. I don’t do that either.

They used to test East German female athletes for testosterone before Olympic events. I guess such testing is now a thing of the past.

Now they just test them for their pronouns.

“...but this all isn’t going away without some real pain.”

No better behavior modifier than pain. The more excruciating the better learned is the lesson.

What would happen if Bruce Lee went trans?

Then put ‘Brucella’ on the Hot-Crazy matrix.

I’d invest in Popcorn sales for that.

As I did with the NFL and MLB, I stopped watching or caring about the olympic games over a decade ago because it was boring and spent too much time on talking heads like costas wasting precious time that could have been devoted to actually seeing the games themselves.

Well, the Olympic used to be all men. I guess we are getting back to that.

I won’t be watching.

The ancient games didn’t have this problem cause all contestants took part naked.
