I'm sorry you're so against human rights.

If you want to believe they aren't human, it's time to open fire or please kindly shut the fucking Hell up.

Between this and Governor DeSantis's proclamation declaring Emma Weyant the "rightful winner of the 2022 NCAA Division I Women's 500-Yard Freestyle," I have a feeling the NCAA is going to give serious consideration to moving next year's Men's Frozen Four (currently scheduled for Tampa) and one of the men's basketball tournament first/second round pods (scheduled for Orlando) out of Florida.

I don't doubt it, the NCAA seems almost always makes the stupid choice.

Yep. OR DeSantis throws them out!

I could start easily seeing states banning transgenderism entirely telling sports leagues they are no longer welcome there without doing the same.

And then there's the thought of the US Olympic Trials: Thomas is considering the possibility, if she can get the clearance to do so, to attempt to make the Paris team.

If you wish to equate those two, you forget who's on your side.

But that's right: It's OK If You Are A Republican.

We are going to have to go to a shooting Civil War.

He would might as well be asking the NCAA to decertify the Orange Bowl, as that's probably what would be part of the result.

The sports world has been through this before. Do a search on "Renee Richards."

Key words: "if she can get the clerarance to do so." I am under the impression she currently doesn't meet the revised FINA testosterone limit, which was one of the problems some people were having with her competing at NCAAs.

I don't think he would have a problem doing that, if the NCAA decides to go around with this.

Not this severely. We're talking outlawing the entire process of transgenderism, part and parcel -- not just with women's sports.

0.5 nanomoles per liter of blood, IIRC?? If she can prove to an independent panel she is below that mark, she can compete under the rules of US Swimming.

There was no choice. Trump had to go, one way or the other.

Thankfully, we chose the peaceful route -- though I would've preferred Sanders, Warren, a ham and swiss sandwich...

Peaceful route? Look around.

Got it. Couldn't be hotlinked due to permissions or the like.

Don't think it quite goes far enough, because I don't think it addresses the number of Russian agents and assets running around in this country at this point.

The election was still held and Trump removed within the law -- unless you wish to state the election was illegal and the like, which raises all sorts of other questions.

There was another way we could've done it.
