I’m certain that if Avery Brundage headed the IOC today, he’d relocate the 2028 Games from Los Angeles to a nation that more favors civil rights and individual freedom…..maybe Saudi Arabia or the UAE.

Meanwhile, women's sports are more popular in every way than they ever have been....and it isn't even close. Gameday was just in Raleigh last week at Reynolds for a women's hoops game.

I don’t disagree with you they’re more popular than ever but they didn’t go to Raleigh for that ahead of a men’s game did they? The women’s game was on Sunday. I assume they did their normal Saturday men’s college gameday too.
 

Once a Champion for Trans Workers, the E.E.O.C. Is Now Walking Away​

The nation’s primary regulator of workplace discrimination has moved to dismiss cases that may run afoul of President Trump’s executive order on gender.

Once a Champion for Trans Workers, the E.E.O.C. Is Now Walking Away

The nation’s primary regulator of workplace discrimination has moved to dismiss cases that may run afoul of President Trump’s executive order on gender.
www.nytimes.com www.nytimes.com

“When Asher Lucas’s co-workers started taunting him for being transgender, saying he was “born a girl and needed to be a girl,” he figured this type of bullying would not be tolerated at a well-known restaurant.

But after complaining to his manager, Mr. Lucas was fired along with three employees who spoke up on his behalf.

“This cannot be legal,” Mr. Lucas remembers thinking when his boss told him in a voice mail message that he was fired.

The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission agreed with Mr. Lucas. In October, the agency sued his employer, Culver’s, in federal court in Michigan, saying the restaurant had engaged in unlawful employment practices by allowing co-workers to harass Mr. Lucas because “he is transgender and retaliating against those who opposed the harassment.”

… [Since Trump took over, the EEOC]
moved to dismiss the case against Culver’s, arguing it could run afoul of President Trump’s executive order asserting that there are only two sexes, male and female.

Citing that order, the E.E.O.C. also asked judges to dismiss six other lawsuits the agency had brought that accused a range of companies, from a pizzeria at Chicago O’Hare International Airport to a hotel franchise in western New York, of subjecting transgender and nonbinary workers to hostile work environments and then often firing them when they complained. …”
 
Did people see the new gory details about the torture and murder of the trans man from MN in NY state? Sam Nordquist?

I'm not going to link it here, because it's incredibly disturbing. One of the most nauseating crimes I've heard of. They even forced their 7 and 12 year old kids to participate in the torture, which apparently went on for a month.

If you want a horror story but also a window into the depths of hate in America, check it out.

WM said “Gameday was just in Raleigh last week at Reynolds for a women's hoops game” as a way to defend his premise that women’s sports are more popular than ever. I just wanted to point out that it wasn’t like they chose a women’s game for Gameday on a Saturday over doing a men’s game. Apples and oranges.

For the record I agree with the overall point that women’s college sports are gaining popularity.

Then there was no point because they don't have to choose between the two. It was just an irrelevant statement to project that women still are not as good as men. No need or purpose in that.

Women's sports have increased on their own merits.

And fuck stupid hillbilly Tommy tubberville

No one said women as a gender aren’t as good as men. Quit being so dramatic.

It was relevant to the discussion to point out that ESPN still did their normal men’s college gameday every week this season, no more no less. When I first read WM’s post I thought he meant ESPN had sent their Gameday crew to the NCSU women’s game en lieu of their weekly men’s game, which would’ve been huge news if it had been true, so I felt it needed clarification.

I enjoy women’s sports and watched UNC women’s hoops the past two days at work. Have bought UNC WBB season tickets in recent years.

No idea what your comment about Tuberville is even about.

Look at the above post where tubberville claims that women's sports is over because of the high number of male athletes.

The man is so fucking dumb.

Ah! I see the Tuberville thing now. Yes, extremely dumb.

Even as someone who supports women’s athletics being a safe space for biological women, Tuberville looks stupid acting like there are entire teams of transgender people dominating women’s sports. Individual athletes here and there? Yes. Entire teams? Clearly not.
