Message: <blockquote data-quote="shorthairman" data-source="post: 419244" data-attributes="member: 6223">Both those athletes were born and identified as females at birth. However, they both possessed XY chromosomes. This gives them high testosterone levels, so high in fact that the International Boxing Committee banned them from the world championship last year. What I understand (but not positive of) is that the president of the IBC is Russian and because the Russians are banned because of the Ukraine issue, the Olympic Committee did not follow the IBC rules (which in my mind is BS because the IBC is more than their Russian president, it’s a f*****g COMMITTEE)…) instead the OC went with what the boxers birth certificates said. I personally love watching the Olympics. All of it. Watching anyone who is good at what they do is intriguing to me whether it’s on the track (my favorite), swimming, or badminton as Trip mentioned earlier, especially if USA is on their uniform. I know basically nothing about rugby, but did anyone watch the USA women win bronze??? Freaking amazing!! I was cheering so loud my wife was like “what the hell are you cheering for?” I too questioned Snoop as a a torch bearer (and not happy about it)  but the fact that he smokes weed isn’t the reason. I’m  going to go out on a limb (and could be wrong) and guess that there are a hell of a lot more people that smoke or have smoked weed than we realize. Snoop just isn’t afraid to hide it. I’ve actually enjoyed listening to his commentary and he seems to be very appreciative and enthusiastic of the athletes talents. As for the opening ceremonies, I guess I wasn’t looking for a hidden anti- Christianity theme (I’m ignorant though at times, or at least that’s what my wife says <img class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" alt="😂" title="Face with tears of joy    :joy:" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/6.6/png/unicode/64/1f602.png" data-shortname=":joy:" />…). With all the lights, fireworks, etc. I guess I just thought the French were trying to put on a show for the teams as they boated by (which I did think was a cool way to bring the athletes in). Did some of the male dancers make me cringe…yes…But I guess I’ve also always thought of the European countries as being pretty loose with their views and maybe morals (again maybe my ignorance), so I didn’t give it much thought. Sorry for the long post, and now you can all take your shots at my thoughts/comments…</blockquote>
