• Pat Flood (@rebarcock) passed away 9/21/25. Pat played a huge role in encouraging the devolopmemt of this site and donated the very first dollar to get it started. Check the thread at the top of the board for the obituary and please feel free to pay your respects there. I am going to get all the content from that thread over to his family so they can see how many people really cared for Pat outside of what they ever knew. Pat loved to tell stories and always wanted everyone else to tell stories. I think a great way we can honor Pat is to tell a story in his thread (also pinned at the top of the board).

Clay Travis calls out ESPN for ignoring transgender swimmer dominating women's competitions: 'Insanity'

I have seen two separate interviews of female swimmers on the team. Both were done on the condition of anonymity. Both gave predictable responses. The girls on the team are demoralized, think the whole thing is total bullshit, and have been told by Penn administration to publicly display support and that they are fully on board with it.
 
That's exactly what I was thinking when I posted this Ha. Not only is free speech a critical aspect of our government, these girls are in a university where they should be able to think and express themselves freely

The way speech has been stifled in this country the last 2 years has been alarming.

Elon Musk is all over it this morning .... in case you haven't seen that thread this morning here is a little preview

Look, this is what comes of all of this craziness. There is no middle ground. If people are allowed to just change their (is that a proper pronoun?) gender, use the wrong bathroom, etc, etc, etc, etc, then they are allowed to play the sport as their announced gender. It makes my hard sad to see what is going on in the world, but part of me just wants to sit back and laugh at the craziness that follows the ridiculousness. I can't wait for an all dude team to win the WNBA or beat out all of the woke soccer players for spots on the national team.
 
If woman don't stand up for their sports, this is not that far away from happening.

Women will stand up and sanity will win out. Its a simple fix, if you are born a man you can't compete against women.

People will scream and fight about it, possible for a few years, but that is what will eventually happen.

When they finally do stand up, let me know because they ain't doing anything that I can tell right now. The silence could be viewed as enabling.....

I sincerely hope you are correct on the end result but I have my doubts that it will.

Some girls and their parents on the swim team have spoken out through Clay Travis and Tucker Carlson.

Its a big issue an will be brought front and center over the next couple years. ESPN et al can try and ignore it, but its such a big issue they wont be able to.

Like I said, I hope you are correct. Anonymously speaking out doesn't do much good either. This fight needs to be public and with tangible people and names to associate to said fight. IMO. Like you said, it could be coming down the line a bit but let us all hope that is sooner rather than later when it may be too late.

ESPN is in quite a quandary here though. They try and promote woman's sports, a lot. Which I think its something ESPN gets right. They also seem to support the 1000 gender ideology which is basically a direct contradiction to their supporting woman's sports. It will be interesting how they try and settle this in their collective minds.
 
this reality is so fucking ridiculous that it really is hard to believe. think about it? A 6'2" tall man allowed to swim against women? That's like allow a great white shark to swim against minnow bait fish. The shark wins every single time, no matter what.
