I understood your point. I'm just saying that fear is quite a different factor in boxing compared to other sports and that, really, there was no need for this to happen in the first place.

It's not as easy as saying she let it get to her. This isn't track and field, swimming or basketbal we're talking about. This is boxing. If you're facing an opponent that is overwhelmingly stronger than you, you face the risk of significant injury. This situation should never have happened.

They have. With Caster Semenya most notably. She won gold on the 800 meters in London (silver initially, but the Russian athlete doped) and Rio.

I understand the need for simplicity in sports. You want categories that are obvious to anyone. And you want categories, because otherwise you'd get the same winners over and over again. If you allow adults to compete with children and women with men, the performances of children and women no...

From what I understand she wasn't necessarily born 'male'. Let me be very frank: I think any trans athlete born a biological male should be banned from female sports on a competitive level, even if I have no ill will towards them. The advantages are numerous and it's never a fair fight. When it...

I don't think it's necessary to be crude. People born with those kind of disorders do not live easy lives. That being said, I don't think they should be allowed to compete in women's sports. I realize this is unfortunate, as in many cases they themselves would be very disadvantaged if they had...

He was a humble accountant good with numbers and they forced him into their organization, but he was more shrewd than anticipated and grabbed power in a move of unprecedented violence.

It's the way he's standing there too :D. Looks like a mob boss annoyed at having to shoot another one of his cronies who disobeyed and challenged the king. So disappointed.

It'sn not just that. Any society is really a mixture of cultures. This is particularly true for Europe that has had large multinational empires. The Romans had various religions in their empire and christianity arrived late in their reign. But Roman law plays a significant role in how we built...

"They're not tough? They fuck MEN" 1722354362 At one point Islamic scholars were great scientists too. It ebbs and flows.

He was convicted and served time in the UK. I'm not particularly fond of the guy and I don't understand why he'd put himself in the spotlight like that, but really it's not up to us to continuously punish him. If you don't want him to compete, ask for a rule change.

The most fundamental value in science is to question everything. They did just that.

For much of history there was a distinction between fucking and being fucked. If Da Vinci stuck his parts in his boyfriend and not the other way around, he's good to go.

I wouldn't phrase it that way, but you are correct in saying that all sorts of interests groups often try to claim historical figures as one of their own without much evidence. In this particular case court records do show that Da Vinci was charged with sodomy regarding a male prostitute...

Opening fire on hundreds of bunched together school kids with an AR-15 does not require much precision.

Thank you for your contribution. We will make a note of it. I would like to point out that it is only a 2.8 billion religion, because it colonized pretty much the entire planet and crammed itself down people's throats while simultaneously destroying all native culture. But yeah, you can be...

I'm pretty into track and field, several brothers and sisters actually compete. I think it's a great sport to watch too. If you're really honest about it, the result in football is determined by moments that take about 4-5 seconds and happen three or four times a game. The other 89 minutes are...
