Isn’t fencing a gay sport?
No.
It is not.
A bit snobbish at times, but not homosexual.
>Isn’t fencing a gay sport?
No though obviously less interest in the US since our whole history is tied up with firearms and not swords.
Relevant to the topic, it’s one of the few sports with any decorum left. (Prior olympics sites keep getting shut down) but last I checked it’s a black tie event to attend at the top levels. Bitchy petulant loser behavior is Not Allowed.
No, fencing is not a gay sport. It is damned hard work/training. I was a highly ranked MAC epee fencer, belonging on two championship teams and placing in the top 6 teams in the 1966 NCAA championship (which would have placed us in the second ranking of All American Championship teams when that designation came about).
Our college team, within three years, produced three All Americans in epee, foil (a two-timer), and sabre (another two timer).
Our All American epee fencer (1965), Lt. Geoff Hamm, Temple Un., was killed in action in Vietnam in 1967. He was an Officer and a Gentleman, a friend and mentor, not a snide prick like you.
We busted our balls, 5 days a week, for months, to become among the best in the country. We were and will always remain “A Band of Brothers”.
PS. I got the fencing MVP trophy in 1966, from Jesse Owens.
He too was a Gentleman!
Perhaps you should learn why we were among the best. It is called hard work, devotion, team-work and love of the sport.
Épée is pretty questionable but Sabre-style is perfectly acceptable.
Robert Heinlein didn't think so.
