The United States Olympic & Paralympic Committee quietly changed its eligibility rules on Monday to bar transgender women from competing in Olympic women’s sports, and now will comply with President Trump’s executive order on the issue, according to a post on the organization’s website.
Wow they stopped maybe 5 whole people from competing in games that were supposed to be about bringing the world together that’s turned into just another shouting match between petty assholes taking the entire concept to hell.
Sports are games, fun little doofy things primarily for children that adults can like too. The shouting matches about doping, the doping itself, “no fair no fair they’re cheating,” and the massive paychecks for professional level sports are why I don’t give any of the bullshit the time of day and never will.
Leave it to humans to remove from a concept the entire reason for that concept’s creation in the first place: fun.
Fuck competition for competition’s sake. Cooperation should have been our species business. The minute both teams/players aren’t smiling and laughing after the game, the game has lost all meaning and has become a shitty game that shouldn’t exist. That goes for you NFL, NBA, and yes, even the Olympics.
Come back when it’s about the world coming together again and not geopolitical medal count competition screeching.
