Of people being racist against blacks? Is that all you’re asking for?

DEA Administrator celebrates pride month

Agree

It can be a safety issue in general, but there’s no evidence it is in this specific case, which is not relevant to McNabb. She was also in high school, which has no testosterone requirements. The NCAA does and Fleming meets them.

Not that I’m aware of, although my wife has made comments that she thinks I am too.

Mostly against Asians though

Yes but I think racism against blacks is more common. Definitely much better than it was in the past, but it’s still out there.

My prior post was not specifically addressed at @jerryskids, but moreso to those making that argument in general. For example, you have also made that argument in a prior thread, so it’s weird to me that you’re coming into this one saying “Jerry was the only one who even said anything about that,” and then of course you go on to make the same argument by saying “it appears Boise is forfeiting for safety reasons.” Which is a lie btw, we don’t know why Boise State forfeited. We do know that Wyoming’s AD (apologies, I said Boise State at first but it was Wyoming) specifically said it was NOT for safety reasons why they forfeited. What we do know about Boise State is that their team celebrated their win in the prior round, knowing who their next round opponent would be, and based on that celebration it did not look like a team that was planning to forfeit. That is the other aspect of this story that I find interesting that doesn’t seem to be being talked about much. Hopefully it was actually the teams making the decisions whether or not to play. It’d be disappointing if their hand was being forced by people trying to create political theater.

No

Do you think there is racism against blacks in this country?

Here’s a quote from that first article by the Wyoming AD which is relevant to the “it’s a safety issue!” complaint: “I do think it's important to note, we have played against this athlete for the past two seasons and our student-athletes felt safe in the previous matches,” Burman wrote. "She is not the best or most dominant hitter on the Spartans team. Having said that it doesn't make it ok.

San Jose State lost in the conference tournament final

Defending what? I am defending the opposing team’s opportunity to be the ones that actually make the decision whether or not to play. According to this article, at least the first time Wyoming forfeited it was not the players’ choice. The outside pressure came from both “activist groups” some of which are named in the article, but also the state legislature which supposedly threatened to cut funding to the university. https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/columnist/dan-wolken/2024/10/29/san-jose-state-volleyball-boise-state-wyoming-forfeit/75914113007/

Looking a little more into this, it looks like when Wyoming forfeited during the regular season it may not have been their choice and that it was influenced by “outside pressure.” https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/other/wyoming-volleyball-coach-worried-about-political-pressure-to-forfeit-vs-san-jose-state/ar-AA1tNjec Again, I commend the players if they made this choice. But hopefully they’re actually the ones that made the choice.

Here is a video of Boise State celebrating their win in the last round, and you can see the logo for San Jose State already there as the opponent. The team x account even put the hashtag “what’s next.” Doesn’t seem like they knew they were going to be forfeiting IMO https://twitter.com/BroncoSportsVB/status/1861963647645565058

I’m kinda wondering if the Idaho governor is directing Boise State to forfeit. He’s made a lot of x posts about it.

But also easier to prove that they’re nonsense. See Tim Walz

Yes, they forfeited because there is a biological male on the other team. But they didn’t say it was for safety reasons.

Kudos to Boise State for sure, but the statement didn’t say it was for safety reasons.

Again, I didn’t say I think the allegations are true. In the case of Hegseth my guess is they aren’t. But just pointing out that they are very serious.

No one was charged is not the same as “the allegations were deemed not credible.”

I don’t have “my own,” and I literally said I wasn’t saying they were true. But there’s a police report here and investigations into Gaetz, this isn’t a Kavanaugh situation of some lady just saying something decades later.

What her husband did before he even met her is pretty irrelevant, and a single woman’s sex life isn’t really comparable to allegations of rape. Not saying they’re true, but the allegations against Hegseth and Gaetz are much more serious.

Apparently not many people have. You’d think if his story was legit the book would be better than # 19,668 on Amazon
