Reason #338 to place the Olympics on my “Pay No Mind” list.

"Last time I watched the Olympics was when the Koreans BBQ’d a flock of doves."

LOL!! I can't remember the last time I watched. It might have been in 2008, when Dubya was still in the White House, and the summer Olympics were taking place. I somehow remember him being criticized for this:

“He couldn’t compete against other men, so he’s pretending to be a woman.”

Exactly. Every one of these men pretending to be women so they can compete against females in any sport is a PATHETIC LOSER. If that’s the only way you can win, you shouldn’t be allowed to compete.

The Olympics have been turned off here for a while.

So an XY is going to compete in a XX game. That’s not completion but annihilation. Big baby will do anything to get a blue ribbon.

Transgenders are losers and weaklings that can’t win when competing with their own sex

The Olympic committee gave a man with a man’s body dressed like a woman and using a woman’s name the right to compete with real females. This stinks! I will not accept her wins. She is really a man.

Yup. XX=Female, and XY=Male. No amount of plastic surgery, or cutting things off, or having things added can change that.

FIRST? Has every one forgotten Nazi Germany’s Henrich-Dora Ratjen in 1936? The Nazis approved! What other things the Nazis did will soon be A-OK?

I remember back when athletes were disqualified for this. Started with steroids, pretty sure there were some transgenders in there. The joke used to be “Q. How do you tell a female athlete is from the Eastern Bloc? A. She has an Adam’s Apple”

I’m sure the Women Olympic weightlifting athletes must be excited to have the game rigged against them and have to compete with a biological male under the transgender label. Why even bother having the competition? I really think the committee has been cowed by the minority woke crowd and politically correct media and the overwhelming majority of people globally think this is laughable.

“It’s bound to kill participation in sports by REAL women, and eventually (and hopefully), they’d go after the people who allowed it and sanctioned it. Liberals, especially liberal women, would rue the day that they thought it was a good and ‘fair’ idea.”

In a sane world, that would likely happen. However, elite athletes, whether male or female, comprise a minuscule fraction of the population. Most women know they’ll never become an elite athlete, and many of them likely harbour some resentment against those who are elite athletes. These women are likely to just shrug their shoulders, and ignore the whole thing. It’s for the cause, you see.
