Irishman

Her birth certificate says female. Her dad, a Sunni Muslim says she is a female. Her Country's government says she is a female. Why would so many make an exception for just one individual in each of those circumstances?

If you don't want to be stuck with the label of usual suspect, don't respond or react like one....you just proved my point....more than once here. So you believe a doctor and hospital in a country that is 97% Sunni Muslim would write the other gender on a birth certificate? Or their government issue someone claiming to be female that is a biological male a passport? Or they allowed someone to compete on a world stage as a trans athlete? Yeah, that makes sense....so much sense.

And in Algeria, if she had external, she would have been labeled a male. Pretty simple honestly.

Still not surprised

Not at all surprised by your reaction and response.

Not from the Olympics, but this is funny. Peacock has Snoop, Kevin Hart and Kenan Thompson doing reviews like this during these Olympic Games.

Here are the issues though..... 1. She has always been a female; raised and lived as one her entire life. 2. Algeria is 97% Sunni Muslim. It's illegal to be trans. The Algerian government issued her a passport. 3. 9 boxers have beaten her in her amateur career, so what does it make them? More manly? Or just better boxers? 4. Her condition does produce a higher level of testosterone in her than other females. 5. Work in a public setting long enough, especially a school and you see there is more to gender than just xy and xx. There are a number of males who are very feminine, and vice versa...to the point that if I brought a stranger in to see and said guess; it would be difficult to do. 6. Before the usual suspects attack me over this, I am not one who supports trans athletes competing with others of that gender, especially trans females. There are clear advantages. 7. The Italian boxer left herself wide open for that shot to the face.

It has been brought to my attention that Micic and Mutuwa both wrestled at Hanover Central.........pretty cool for that program; and so rare to have two athletes in the same sport from the same school.

What an inspiration! https://olympics.com/en/news/euro-2022-women-denmark-nadia-nadim-doctor

Watching the HOF game. They allowed an extra player to come on the field and hold the ball for the kick. He had to run off immediately after it was kicked.

A once in a generation athlete. She set the bar for the current scoring system in Gymnastics, and keeps raising it. https://www.nbcolympics.com/news/biles-back-top-simone-biles-clinches-second-olympic-all-around-gold?utm_tags=oly4425

Impressive to say the least

Nice to see the program return to where it should be; seems to have been a concerted effort to get more youth on the roster. Not sure why, but I have always loved the goal calls on Hispanic broadcasts. Korbin Albert also played 2 seasons for Notre Dame.

Gotta celebrate the Irish....... First ever medal in the breaststroke for Ireland https://www.wate.com/sports/orange-and-white-nation/lady-vol-swimmer-mona-mcsharry-bronze-medal-paris-olympics/ Daniel Wiffen wins Ireland's first ever gold medal in men's swimming. https://www.barrons.com/news/wiffen-makes-irish-history-with-men-s-olympic-800m-freestyle-gold-b0a18918

Amazing play to get that score.

From yesterday.......update on Indiana athletes competing. https://www.wthr.com/article/sports/olympics/paris-olympics-results-hoosier-athletes-sunday-july-28-2024-indiana/531-a43161c9-1845-4a55-96e1-bf3902991ad5

How about keeping the political stuff to Muda's OOB forum? There are FAR more great moments to celebrate and enjoy with athletes and teams than there is about interpretations of one aspect of the opening ceremonies.

He will definitely be an entertaining aspect of the Olympics coverage. The irony of him carrying the torch is hilarious to me, just as the fact that the torch was shaped a like a big fat joint was. Let the games begin

40 years of coaching and he still has dues to pay? Interesting

There is nothing wrong with anything he said here. I have not been a fan of everything he has said since being hired, but nothing odd here. Were you expecting more of a "we are not very good" statement?
