    They ran the same story because both are Sinclair owned stations. This was not an independent call. It is part of Sinclair's right wing propaganda to continue this culture war and persecute transgendered individuals. It isn't a new source. It is the exact same source with the exact same story.

    What is the issue in your mind? Again, if the question is "fairness" it is a false premise. Sports aren't fair. Some people will have huge physical advantages. I'm all for having additional leagues representing different skill levels. It is great when more people can participate and contribute. I think it is a legit good. But this concern for sanctity of women's athletics is very clearly false and being used for nothing more than prosecuting a culture war. And let me be clear, I have nothing but contempt for the people pursuing it.

    Nice run so far.

    They called a touch. Interesting.

    Winner under review.

    I don't think anyone doubts the game happened. There is video of it. It's just that nothing about that video indicates that anything special happened. Injuries like that happen all the time.

    Y'all just told me that it isnt possible to have highly skilled, but not necessarily physically strong, women can compete with men. I thought skill wasn't relevant. But sure, we can just do @troph's suggestion and divide people by overall skill level irrespective of gender or hormones. I'm all good with that too. Again, I think this search for fairness is misguided because by its very nature, sports are unfair. Lebron has an unfair physical advantage against 99.99999999% of the population. What we really care about for the most part is dividing it up so more people can participate. That's it.

    Frankly, since hormones drive the majority of physical differences that matter to sports, if you wanted to be more fair you'd have different classes based on hormone levels. I mean, fuck, look at Lebron James in high school. Was it really fair for other high schools kids to have play against him? What does fair even fucking mean in this context? Its a sport. Its a contest. Someone is going to be better than others. It is the very nature of the thing. We add more subclasses, whether it be JV and varsity teams, weight classes in wrestling, or men's an women's teams, to allow more people to participate. We can divide it up as many times as people want. But it'll never really be fair because it can't be.

    I have no idea what point you're making. You suggested hate wasn't the reason for the outrage, citing that poll. I pointed out that the poll in fact supports the conclusion that hate is a driving force behind the outrage. Do you disagree that people that want transgender bathroom laws (which btw, we don't have for anyone else) are doing so out of the same sort of discriminatory animus that led to segregated facilities based on race? If I'm right (which I definitely am), then of the 58% that favored laws limiting transgender participation in women's sports, at least 70% of them are doing so because of hate.
  13. Dahobbs
    No. I'm not. I've already said that opinions on it varied. But I've also pointed out that vocal element pushing the issue now aren't doing it out of concern for fairness in women's sports. They are doing it out of hate. And that is what that polling shows. That 41% that want transgender folks to be forced to use a certain bathroom under penalty of law? That's fucking hate. That's all it is. These are the same folks that wanted blacks to use colored facilities. Its the same discriminatory story repeating itself.

    1. People get injured in sports all the time. It does not take a transgender person for it to happen. 2. I don't think anyone is downplaying the biologic differences. The primary issue is hormones and the fact is that there is a wide range of values even among those with same chromosomes. Sex isn't strictly binary and neither is hormonal distribution. There is a discussion to be had within individual sports and how to divide competitors up. But it certainly doesn't need to be legislated or unified across all sports.
  15. Dahobbs
    You don't think people in favor of laws limiting the medical treatment a trans person can get, limiting where they can go to the bathroom, and limiting whether their very existence can be taught about at school don't have some fucking hate in their heart? Women use men's restrooms at public events all the fucking time because of the lines. There is no law against it. The people in favor of laws for trans people ONLY want those laws to apply to trans people. It is punishment. It is hate. That's all the fuck it is.
  16. Dahobbs
    No it wasn't. The hate was your goal. Embrace the shittiness of your character.
  17. Dahobbs
    What the fuck are you talking about?
  18. Dahobbs
    I already did. Apparently we've decided this discussion belongs here, which is fine with me either way.
  19. Dahobbs
    You're confused. He cares that a poor student is being attacked and made a spectacle of for political grandstanding. He cares about the hate some have for the fellow human beings. This isn't about sports in the slightest, and you know it.
  20. Dahobbs
    I think you should take your previous advice and not wade into areas that you're completely ignorant of.
  21. Dahobbs
    They actually don't. For instance, folks on one side might have different takes on how to decide who competes where. It is just that folks on the other side all agree that hate and political grandstanding is more important than actually discussing reasonable policies for a niche issue that affects an extremely small percentage of athletic participants. Also ironic that the folks for small government and freedoms are all about government intrusion into female athletics that they don't otherwise give a damn about.
  22. Dahobbs
    Yep. Glad your daughters don't have access to necessary medical care so that you can be protected from an issue that has a .0001% of affecting your life or the life of your family in any meaningful way. Total win by you. Oh, and you get to demonize some poor college student for shits and grins too. Your children should be proud.

    Thorne will make it entertaining one way or another.

    Auburn @ Georgia at 2:30 on Saturday (ABC) is missing from this list.

    Their longest run was 17 yards. I believe the second longest was 12 yards (the TD). It just seemed worse than that because so many of those 5-10 yard runs should have been stopped at or behind the line.
