In just a little over 2 weeks, the Summer Olympics will crank up in Paris. The Olympics used to be a huge deal to me, and I think for the most part, most of the country. It was must watch TV from the opening ceremonies to closing. You kept up with the medal count, and hoped those damn, steroid popping Russians were not in first.
I watched, or kept up with every event, and gymnastics were as big as any in the games. Maybe because the leotards the girls were wearing, were cut to ride so high on the buttocks and thighs, that there was a lot of exposed, young flesh. GIGGITY!!!
Track was huge, and you actually knew the names and backgrounds of many on the team. But now? I just had to look up when the games start. I get the sense that most of Murrica' really doesn't give a shit, and I've got about 12% or 248/1329th the interest I did growing up. What's changed?
Is it because they went away from the purity of the games, by allowing professional athletes. The basketball team used to be the best college players in the country going against the world's best. Now, the top teams from around the world are just a mixture of NBA players who went home after the season.
Are there too many other entertainment choices? Could some of it be that pride in the country and the want to see our athletes succeed and stand on that podium while the anthem plays has dwindled so much? Or, are we all waiting on Fall practice to start?
Will you watch it? Follow it?

I will not watch it on a box. I will not watch if it’s on Fox.
I will not watch it Snag-I-Am. You cannot make me give a dam.

I'll google most of the results, and will try to watch some events that interest me.
The problem, IMO, is some of the athletes these days aren't as patriotic as they used to be, or they outright express what they hate/dislike about the greatest nation in the history of the world for all to hear. Haven't looked into it, but I'd bet athletes of other countries probably don't do that. Kind of hard to cheer on those types of people of ours that make it a point to do so. I wouldn't ever root against the USA, but I won't actively support the people who refuse to love it for what it is.

I would not, could not on a train.

I would not, could not in the rain.

I do not want to watch, you see.
I do not want to watch, Snags, let me be!

I think that's turned a lot of people off, just like CTEAU won't watch the NFL. I honestly haven't paid any real attention to this year's athletes, other than checking out the men's basketball roster, so I haven't heard about any of them who plan to disrespect the flag/country. I think the women's soccer team, and all their pathetic bullshit, soured a bunch of fans. The thing is, don't pull that shit while wearing the USA jersey and supposedly representing the country. Especially at the Olympics, being that representing your country is what the event is all about.

Do you still participate in special Olympics?

There will be 11 former Auburn Tigers competing in the Olympics. Only Suni Lee will be representing the USA. The rest will represent their respective countries in sports ranging from track, gymnastics and swimming, to tennis.

Ah... well now we know. Also know I'm aging gracefully but Six uses abbreviations and acronyms in his posts that he thinks we all should readily recognize. Could also point to laziness as well.
Point being I don't wish to search for shit to give it meaning. Not trying to be contentious, but it's not a chore I relish.
That said, he's very well spoken.

Hey hold on just a minute. I'm not about to dance with anybody that's this insincere.

I will not watch a single minute
I do not care who might be in it
They say Lebron can tote our flag?
I say he’s a commie (three day suspension)
I don’t care about gay Paree
Or their river full of pee

So I hear now the opening chose to mock all that's good
Twas just what I feared, I knew that they would
A tranny Last Supper spit in God's face
It feels like the end of this human race
Adults weren't enough, you had to drag kids
Into this perversion that went off the skids
With nonsense like this, we've lost our way
I'm glad I missed it, that's all I will say
You may have enjoyed it for all that I knew,
If you did? Oh my son I will pray for you

I tuned in to the opening ceremonies and made it through about 10 minutes. The first thing I saw was several people on horseback. One was dressed in what looked like Reynold’s Wrap from head to toe, with an oversized aluminum foil hoodie. This thing, takes a book, or something, and walks slowly down a 6 mile runway, and sets the book thingy down. Then, a torch is carried by a some dude, who hands it to tennis player, Rafael Nadal. Then, there’s a light show on the Eye Full Tower. Then, Nadal is on a boat. Then, I turned back to Gordon Ramsey’s Ultimate Cooking Show and learned a cool way to prepare beef short ribs.
Last night, me and the skirt watched about 3 hours of coverage. A lot of gymnastics with Auburn’s, Suni Lee. Watched some men’s basketball and a lot of swimming. Had no clue who any of the swimmers were, but it’s the Olympics, and I had a good time watching.
As for all the controversy, I didn’t see it live, but it’s been replayed and is all over the medias that are social a 1,000 times. The athletes had nothing to do with that, so I’m gonna’ watch and pull for the U.S. of A. But Paris jumped the shark and screwed the pooch in one fell swoop. That’s the first time I’ve ever used one fell swoop in a sentence. Not really sure what it means, though. The big question for me is, why? Why was any of that garbage necessary? What do gay guys dressed up like whores, strutting down a runway and staging a scene that looks to be mocking The Last Supper have to do with the Olympics?
Spare me the argument that the scene was actually something from Greek mythology, or whatever. I’ve heard the explanation, and I’ve never heard of it and don’t care. The problem is being, as the wokies have always called it, so tone deaf, that you either didn’t realize it would come off looking like a mockery of one of the most iconic images in the Christian faith, or not giving a damn. I lean towards the latter, but the blow back has been big. It should be.

Keep in mind.....this was one of the main breeding grounds for the Age of Enlightenment, Voltaire, sowing the seeds for the French Revolution and providing Marx with Proletariat inspiration from Sismondi- all of which is used for a blueprint now in modern American "politics" and social construct....so I ask..... Why is anyone shocked?
That said, I'm with you. I will watch our Athletes (other than LeBron, fuck that guy) go kick ass because they've earned it and had nothing to do with the weirdo shit the French decided to pull on Friday.

A week ago I had no olympics in my life. This week the same. Most of the athletes hate America anyway. So this is just another reason to choose not to watch. I used to get all excited for the olympics. Americans doing American shit. Now many of them are just American shits.

There are very few that “hate America”. Some want to see change and do things to bring attention to it and sometimes that’s uncomfortable to close minded big…people.
The majority of the athletes are pretty fucking cool freaks of nature. Except LeBron…fuck that guy.

I follow Track closely (being former myself and now daughter in varsity) and swimming pretty close. Most of those athletes are great people. Noah Lyles makes it a point to show his USA love and even gets emotional during the anthem being played. Hes going for a few of Usain Bolt's records next week. Don't be too quick to dismiss some of these folks. Lot of them are great patriots. Katie Ledecky is another that is making history in front of us.

Please to be defining this statement.

A passport that says female?
He was banned from the World Boxing Championships because they actually do gender testing. The IOC does not. Part of their criteria is literally what it says on your passport.
That, my friend, is a dude. And he beat the hell out of a girl.
-
Has met all international requirements to compete.
I will stipulate to this fact.
However, if I were a lawyer for the opponent, I would explore the possibility of an appeal to said “international requirements”.
-

Yes.
He was banned from the World Boxing Championships because they actually do gender testing.
No, they do generic testosterone testing. She has elevated testosterone, but is biologically a female. Has fought as a female in prior Olympics (and lost...so not "dominating the sport").

No. That is a man. Period. Doesn’t matter he’s not worth a shit at boxing against the elites. Doesn’t matter if he fought in past Olympics. They don’t test. That’s a man. Passport my ass.

Do you know what elevated testosterone does? And if you test high enough competing and winning what usually happens in sports? Other than having a legit TUE, you get popped. I saw this time after time in track and triathlon. Guys I knew got popped when they got greedy and hit the anti aging clinic a little too much. Why does anyone think this person is any different? I dunno what this persons level is but if it’s above the normal range, that’s just science. It’s cheating.

-

wait, I'll answer that...it will get punched out quickly. let's skirt the rule and go through the "steriod" injections and compete at a level true female counterparts aren't doing.
if the Olympics want to do a non binary event so be it ...this will come sooner than later, sadly.

It sounds like you know this from first-hand experience. Don't worry, it happens. As long as you thought she was a girl at first, it's not gay.

Normal female test range is 10-55. This person is probably more in the 200-300 range from what I’ve read based on past tests and being dq’d by the IBA. Normal male range is 300-800. So this particular person is probably somewhere in that range that’s way higher than a woman. And at the bottom end of a male. If that’s the case, they should not be in the ring with other women with normal female markers. It’s simply not a fair fight. Bone density, muscle mass and muscle strength are going to be night and day difference. Ask the poor girl that was the recipient of the punches in that match.
-
this person is actively a transgender...
No. She's not. Words have meanings. She was born a female. Has always lived as a female. It is ILLEGAL to be transgendered in Algeria. Do you think she's there repping her country in flagrant violation of their law?
Y'all. This is the dumbest red-meat shit and I can't believe you're lining up like Charlie Brown to try kicking the ball.
-
You get a "morphodite" in 1.7% of births, roughly 1 in every 1500-2000. There are at least 16 variations at play. There aren't enough hard statistics available to know exactly how many of these "hybrids" have the necessary working reproductive parts of either gender to produce a child.
I just watched a few episodes of X Files that foretold the combination of human beings with aliens. Just have to have the right test subjects and grant money to bring it to bear.
Weird!

You are distracting from the main argument with social justice semantics. And you are doing so from your elitist pedestal assuming anyone who doesn't agree with this - is in your mind a - dumb MAGA redneck that cannot think on their own and is just taking red meat from talking heads. You are wrong there. That said....
Back to the lecture at hand...science, the only thing that matters....
Do you think this person having a testosterone level closer to a man, than a woman, is fair to the other women in the ring with her? I really want to hear this answer. Because in USA Athletics this is NOT allowed. Just because Algeria doesn't GAF and the IOC doesn't GAF does not mean it's right.
Most western countries and governing athletic bodies do NOT allow this for obvious reasons. This chick has levels way higher than a normal female, and you are ok with this. Just want to make sure I have that right.
Look up Shelby Hoolihan - she was America's best female long distance runner heading into Tokyo. She ate some pig organ meat at a taco stand right before trials, which is known to raise a female's nandrolone levels just enough to pop positive out of the normal range. She even proved it out recreating the positive retracing her steps. Still, she got a 4 year ban from USA Athletic (and subsequently World Athletics which subscribes to WADA). She is not in this Olympics because of that mistake. Thats how strict this stuff is in places that take it seriously.
And if anyone wants to argue hypothetically it's not her fault (XY genetic mutation per the IBA) vs it being her fault (test injections) - there are test/androgen suppressors that can get her back in the normal level range. Thing is, she likes her obvious physical advantage so she isn't going to do that.

You are distracting from the main argument with social justice semantics. And you are doing so from your elitist pedestal assuming anyone who doesn't agree with this - is in your mind a - dumb MAGA redneck that cannot think on their own and is just taking red meat from talking heads.

She met all the requirements to compete, take it up with the IOC, I guess.. I dunno what else to tell you except she's a woman, not a man.

What's going on with this is a microcosm of a much larger picture, and issue going on in sports across the world. The difference here, is it's on a world-wide stage, and everyone can see it, and form an opinion about it. And unless you're living under a rock, you have to know there's a lot of pissed off people, because what the world saw was a man punching a girl in the face and making her quit something she’s trained all her life for. People are finally seeing first hand that women’s rights are being trampled all over.
It doesn’t matter if this boxer qualified under IOC rules, or if he wins/loses this tournament. He’s been beaten many times in the past. It’s the fact that, number one, the eye test says Khelif is a man. No way in hell you can look at him and think anything else. Does that conclusively prove anything? Of course not. But the eye test alone tells the world, that this man beat the hell out of that girl. Second, it’s not just raised levels of testosterone. From Sporting News:
Khelif was one of two boxers to fail a gender eligibility test ahead of the 2023 World Boxing Championships in New Delhi. While some reports indicate Khelif was found to have had a high level of testosterone, the International Boxing Association (IBA), which administered the test, said Khelif failed a "separate and recognized test" in a statement on Wednesday.
IBA president Umar Kremlev said Khelif was "proven" to have XY chromosomes, which sparked outrage throughout the sports world and beyond. XY chromosomes indicate that an individual is male. However, certain conditions can allow a woman to present XY chromosomes. It remains unconfirmed which condition Khelif might have, if any at all.
No matter what happens with this, I hope the result is that more people will believe Riley Gaines when she tells the world, that she and other swimmers shouldn’t be forced to compete against a 6’4” transgender man (Lia Thomas). She and other competitors shouldn’t be forced to dress in the same locker room with him and his junk hanging out, just because he now says he “identifies” as something he’s not. Canada’s women’s soccer team should not be medaling with a guy (Quinn) being one of it’s stars. Female MMA fighters should not be getting their skull fractured by a dude (Fallon Fox). The list goes on and on, and it’s not an isolated problem anymore.

Look up Shelby Hoolihan
I’d hit that. That should be the real test.
-
Fuck it...rage on, y'all.

Normal female test range is 10-55. This person is probably more in the 200-300 range from what I’ve read based on past tests and being dq’d by the IBA. Normal male range is 300-800. So this particular person is probably somewhere in that range that’s way higher than a woman. And at the bottom end of a male. If that’s the case, they should not be in the ring with other women with normal female markers. It’s simply not a fair fight. Bone density, muscle mass and muscle strength are going to be night and day difference. Ask the poor girl that was the recipient of the punches in that match.

Not rage, brother. Just don’t like dudes hitting women or competing against them in sport, because it is mostly unfair. Outside of this particular issue, there are other things that we can point to…
1. Weight lifting.
2. Swimming.
3. Mixed Martial Arts.
4. Cycling.
It is men, who now identify as women (to each their own), that are middle of the pack/lower end athletes as men that transition and are now dominating their respective sports. This is against biological, real, tangible women who have worked hard their whole lives to get where they are. I am sympathetic to those that struggle with their identities, but not at the expense of women.
Hypothetical: If a trans woman took issue with your bride and started physically assaulting her, you letting her duke it out, or are you treating the threat like it is a man and taking care of it?

“Identify as” is a nonsense standard.
Nobody cares and it’s not real.

No. She's not. Words have meanings. She was born a female. Has always lived as a female. It is ILLEGAL to be transgendered in Algeria. Do you think she's there repping her country in flagrant violation of their law?

On Monday, Dan Patrick always does the "Best and Worst of the Weekend", for callers to talk about. So, here's one topic they're discussing.
A French pole vaulter lost out on a medal when, after mostly clearing the bar, it got knocked off by his apparently mundo meat stick. The very telling video is being replayed around the world. So, if you’re the aptly named pole vaulter, would you consider that your best, or worst of the weekend?

I actually watched a good bit of it. The opening ceremonies were a freakin' joke, and they got hammered for it. Deservedly so! Maybe that will be a lesson to future hosts who try to make it about anything other than the spirit of competition.
I watched gymnastics, swimming, track and even the gold metal game in men's basketball. Actually a great game. I didn't know who most of the athletes were in track or swimming, but as soon as the gun sounded, I was all U.S.A.....U.S.A.
It kind of brought back a time when I really used to look forward the Olympics and enjoy them.

Track and swimming were fantastic this year. Great group of medal winners too. The Cole Hocker race was unreal. Total upset and great kid. Katie Ladecky is still dominate in the pool.

Yeah, I watched a bit more than usual this year. Track, swimming and bball were the highlights, but I watched the fuck out of some team handball, beach volleyball, ping pong, archery, crew, kayak...french pole vaulting...
I think this year's broadcast was a vast improvement as they took the pro-golf theory: action, cut to new action, cut to new action...not a lot of standing around and waiting for the next competitor in the same event.

french pole vaulting...
This checks out.
I tried to get my wife to watch table tennis, or as the Chinese call it, “ping pong”. She doesn’t understand the elite athleticism it takes.
-

Yes, the French pole vaulting seems to have garnered lots of attention...

Watching some kids win that have worked hard isn't "woke" to me. The Olympics were a case of baby and bathwater. Most of those athletes are good people that put in an enormous amount of work to get there. That spirit of competition is still alive and well despite what opening ceremony happens. Those athletes had zero to do with that. That all goes away when the gun fires.
BTDubbs - that word is going to become like "racist" within 5 years. It's going to lose all meaning being overused for anything someone doesn't agree with. JS broski.

The level of athleticism required, and hand-eye coordination in that and badminton, is off the charts.

I don't disagree. These athletes have worked hard pretty much till they bleed to represent their country. That is the part that still makes the Olympics still entertaining to watch with a sense of pride for ones country. Yes, I still want the US to dominate everything and make everyone else second fiddle. So if this is the true "spirit" of the Olympics then why in the literal hell does the opening/closing ceremonies have to be so blatant with the satanic representation? I mean seriously. This view can be supported much much more in depth but I don't really want to. I will say though, there is a pointed fact that "Christianity" has been painted as unacceptable in the modern "spirit" of Olympics which I might add goes against what the Olympics are suppose to stand for.
As far as the woke thing. Thats just me and Joe King. I do agree, I'm sick of hearing the word "woke". Overused just like "racist"...
What I am really pissed about though is the fact that break dancing only gets one year in the Olympics, so I have been informed. This sucks because a few buddies and myself were planning on making a '28 run at it...

Break dancing in the Olympics…about 40 years too late. Have these people not seen electric boogaloo!
I had no time for any of it. Yes it’s a baby with the bathwater situation. But there has to be a line drawn at some point. It’s gotten ridiculous and I’m too old to compromise any more.
