Pat commented on it too



It's weird how half the Internet seems to believe that the Algerian boxer is trans but there are pictures of her as a little girl.

Well being a bigot tends to blind your reasoning skills

what... the hell.

US just got Bronze in the 10,000M.

Whitey just stayed with the main pack the whole time. What riveting television. Ethiopia had the lead the whole time. Uganada dude (who is apparently da GOAT at the 10000m) was just hanging around til he said fuck it and made everyone else look foolish, but Whitey done hung around with everyone and got the Bronze.

Happens every time, Serena Williams was called a man when she started dominating tennis too

 

[Bobby Barrows]

Yeah the fact people are just willing to buy into the Russian propaganda machine that this Algerian boxer is not cigendered is a pretty indicative tell of society at large.

What's Russia have to do with it? Did they job out to her once?

 

[Chris]

Khelif's eligibility was challenged only after she beat a Russian opponent to advance to the World Championship quarterfinal round in 2023. The IBA was once recognized by the IOC as the official governing body for boxing — but that title was rescinded in April 2023 following, among other things, allegations of corruption and ties to Russian money. As a result, the IOC, not the IBA, sets the rules for Olympic women's boxing.

Oh they did

 

[Bobby Barrows]

Yeah they backed her up throughout most of her professional career until she defeated a highly prized Russian fighter, and thats where the "gender test failure" came from.

 

[Bobby Barrows]

It's also pretty telling that the Olympic committee considers the IBA persona non grata.
