Policies that stigmatize girls or women with exceptional natural physical characteristics or athletic abilities as abnormal will not promote inclusion, fairness or excellence in women’s sports and will only serve to perpetuate the belief that only some women athletes, those deemed “normal” by arbitrary social standards, are welcome.elenamanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1790832884400143603.post-26860809728312774512012-03-15T08:26:27.287-05:002012-03-15T08:26:27.287-05:00The more occasions I comprehend your dispatch, the...The more occasions I comprehend your dispatch, the more it appears like <a href="http://fightextraweight.com" rel="nofollow">phentermine</a>, as well it appears I decipher the equal on <a href="http://fightextraweight.com" rel="nofollow">how to lose weight fast</a> site after that possibly on <a href="http://fightextraweight.com" rel="nofollow">weight loss pills</a> position.victoryanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1790832884400143603.post-60165134404265940802012-02-18T11:51:58.744-05:002012-02-18T11:51:58.744-05:00Big thnx for your piece, i discovered somewhat dis...Big thnx for your piece, i discovered somewhat distinct outlook at <a href="http://edproblemsolver.com" rel="nofollow">Levitra</a><br />AndreStephanenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1790832884400143603.post-89214997813548520902011-10-19T07:46:15.251-05:002011-10-19T07:46:15.251-05:00It can't work in reality, that is exactly what...It can't work in reality, that is exactly what I think.software development companyhttp://www.itransition.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1790832884400143603.post-77703114548336508122011-09-16T14:46:03.275-05:002011-09-16T14:46:03.275-05:00This won't succeed in actual fact, that is wha...This won't succeed in actual fact, that is what I believe.гид в барселонеhttp://www.vbarcelone.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1790832884400143603.post-32899636007738000122011-05-25T10:46:19.795-05:002011-05-25T10:46:19.795-05:00So now they are going to determine what percentage...So now they are going to determine what percentage of men or women we are?

Found this in a news story.<br /><br />Truth is stranger than fiction! Gives a whole new meaning to the phrase, "You go girl!" <br /><br />And I thought my suggestions above hadn't been implemented yet. I stand corrected.<br /><br />Is there a modern sports manual out there, dinosaurs like me can read, to bring me back into the sports loop? Sports used to be much simpler; a bat, ball, and glove--now you need a manual, a lawyer, federal oversight, and the courts; even before you take the field.Wyman Stewarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14246828004909260940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1790832884400143603.post-51188768067240263472011-04-26T17:50:15.876-05:002011-04-26T17:50:15.876-05:00Yes, the above was saying, let the women compete a...Yes, the above was saying, let the women compete against the men or is that men against the women? We may have reached an age where there is merit in that. <br /><br />In some cases, this may be the only way women (whatever that term means) will be able to improve to a level where we can discover whether "women" can compete with men (whatever that term means). But let us not pretend this will not lead to the disappearance of many who compete in sports today.<br /><br />I saw it happen in high school basketball. For years white boys, then white girls, would not try-out for high school teams. They said the coaches would choose black kids over white kids. Nevermind whether this was true, it was embedded in their brain as a "truth." I know, for I tried to convince them otherwise.<br /><br />I am sure in some girls' sports this is true concerning lesbians in sports. No one wishes to address these issues. It's easier to pretend such issues don't exist. However, if sports like the WNBA and women's baseball is ever to take hold in the consciousness of the American sports fan, it may first be necessary for women to rise to a certain level of skill in their sports, comparable to men's sports. In the past, when I have tried to watch the WNBA, I found it dull, boring, and laughable; even as I realized most of these ladies and lesbians were far better than I ever was in basketball. They're game paled before the NBA men's game and major men's college basketball. <br /><br />How do you improve the WNBA? Possibly only by playing against men, who are better than the WNBA's women. There are plenty of quality unemployed men's players, who might jump at the chance to play for pay in preseason games against women. There are solutions beyond complaining. Good luck in coming to the day when you realize I am a sports fan before I am a political sports fan. Yes, I do come here for the politics. Still, it would be more fun to enjoy the sports without the politics. I once did that. No more it seems.Wyman Stewarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14246828004909260940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1790832884400143603.post-92017764939404861372011-04-26T17:13:12.903-05:002011-04-26T17:13:12.903-05:00You didn't offer a solution. Why?
Good or ba...You didn't offer a solution. Why?<br /><br />Good or bad, I offer this solution: Everyone competes in the same category in a sport, whatever your sport, and however you wish to enhance yourself is fine (no need for testing), with the usual medals awarded. <br /><br />We already know people are going to cheat, whatever their sex may be. Great athletes are not NORMAL. If they were, we would all be great athletes or would that be average atheletes? Like NASCAR tries to do, we can attempt to make all things equal, so it is any athelete on any given day, who can win by putting together the right combination of whatever you want to call it; but what does that prove? Nothing.<br /><br />True sports requires honesty, integrity, dedication, and skill. You still see that at various levels of sports competition, but I admit it is rarer with each passing year, at all levels. We can pretend this is not so, which is what we are doing now, or we can admit the truth and live with the truth. If a human being wants to load performance enhancing drugs into that person's system, whatever the longterm effects, maybe it is time to let them. We can see how long the public buys into this kind of sports.<br /><br />Athletes, espeically your greatest athletes, at some genetic or chemical level are superior to all, except others like them. This is measurable in some areas; in other areas, we may never be able to measure this. When is a man not a man? When is a woman not a woman? Hard to say. We celebrate some freaks of nature; deride and punish other freaks of nature.<br /><br />Come on Pat Griffin, tell me you wouldn't like to go one-on-one with LeBron James and whip him in a game to 21. More power to you, if you can do that. Nothing wrong about that. Bet your usual vitamins would be your only enhancement, before taking him on, too. :-)Wyman Stewarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14246828004909260940noreply@blogger.com
