    And a person born with a vagina is a female unless she isn't according to some religious conservatives. Typical MAGA so called conservative and I'm not surprised.

    Incredible finish in the 100 meters as US takes gold and bronze. Lyles takes gold by .005 sec.

    That 100M was insane. Last place guy was like a half step from gold.

    And China’s juiced swimmers end 40 year USA 4x1 medley. That’s the non-phony disgrace of these Olympics. Those dudes are PED’d to the max.

    Noah Lyles committed to run at Florida, but then decided to go pro. So I’m considering him a Gator. Great race!

    Talking to a lifelong pub..never trumper..

    She was born with a vagina.
    Should she compete against people born with a penis?

    It’s funny, because I always get those photo finishes wrong, but was shocked when LD called it for Jamaica, I thought Lyles had gotten it, at worst he should have called photo.
    And then it too him like 30 seconds to acknowledge Lyles had won, even after you heard the crowd erupt and him start celebrating. And then it took them like another three minutes to even realize a second American made the podium.
    Not Leigh’s best moment, and I generally like him.

    A British skeet shooter got robbed today. Replay showed she hit the puck but the judges didn’t see it. It was a sudden death shoutout for gold. Her opponent hit the next two and won. They said replay is usually used in these matches, but the Olympics opted to not use it for this tournament.

    US has been the leader in total medals since the beginning, but pulled even today with China in Golds, where the US had been lagging. 1/2 way through and looking good.

    When do the games end? I've been traveling since the start and haven't been able to watch much. Getting home on the 6th and hope to catch up a bit.

    I see that special someone disagrees with your post. Maybe he has the scoop on your travel plans. :)

    I granted a whole lotta patience to bluke for years. The lack of substance in his posts, infantile rating, and then finally personal shots about my family structure made it necessary to block bluke. I guess he still has his ratings.

    I can see her presence encouraging inappropriate thoughts...

    Swimmer Luana Alonso kicked out of Olympic Village for ‘inappropriate’ behavior (msn.com)

    It’s been an eventful Paris Olympics for Paraguayan swimmer Luana Alonso.

    The 20-year-old athlete — who retired from the sport after she failed to advance out of her heat and into the women’s 100m butterfly semifinals on July 27 — was asked to leave the Olympic Village for creating an inappropriate environment, The Sun reported Monday.

    “Her presence is creating an inappropriate atmosphere within Team Paraguay,” Larissa Schaerer, the head of the Paraguayan Olympic Committee, said in a statement published by the outlet.
