Adult discussion: Alexis Ohanian invests in women's track with new invitational

It’s intriguing but I want more details. Is it for all events? Where will it be held? International field allowed?

I came on LRC today expecting a front page story and numerous threads. This is big news. Sad nobody seems interested.

Athletes from the United States and abroad will compete for a total purse of at least $500,000, with $60,000 to first, $25,000 for second and $10,000 for third in a yet-to-be determined number of events.

Will Hiltz compete?

This is major news indeed, like Tsegay for WR10. Women athletics, there are some smart people starting to understand there’s a whole lot to get.

LRC is occupied with ‘other topics, is sleeping, getting too old or has not the genes to get really excited for women athletics. It’s going to attract women fans, they won't be able to handle that, is what I experience.

the site will explode or just vanish in male self mockery. Maybe that’s ok, need to move on.

There’s a Phoenix needed at this place.

What is a woman?

What do I think? We already have the exact same number of meets, with the exact same prize structure, for men and women so I do not see the need for an additional women-only meet.

It's cool but track is one of the sports where equity is a non-issue. There's a bigger gap between different events than between sexes

Yesterday, Ohanian announced that he was putting money behind The Sports Bra - a women's sports bar in Portland, OR that only shows women's sports. He is putting together money to start a franchising business to expand the concept nationally.

Alexis Ohanian makes an unprecedented investment in women’s track

Seeing “tremendous upside” in the sport, the billionaire is funding a women-only event this fall that will offer a total purse of at least $500,000.

This completely inorganic push for women/disabled sports categories is just another nefarious chapter in wokeness. The ultimate goal is to eliminate everything that makes normal people happy (hence the focus on sports, competition and dedication are inherently right-wing traits!). Because Leftists know the entire goal of politics is to hurt people who oppose you at every turn, while Republicans think the goal of politics is to play debate club.

Maybe you’ve seen a marathon for runners, most of time first starts one group of wheelchairs and than another, same with the runners later on, first one than the other. If you look well, there’s a difference in the groups. One are women the others men. When they smile sweet, you’ve seen a woman.

Why is this women only? Every track meet I've ever watch had both men and women. Is there an equivalent mens only meet?

There's no need for that, you should know; men had a few centuries all sports for themselves. Times up.

I just hope that trans women will be allowed to compete.

Just dont watch it. Let these rich people burn their money. Let the social justice activists waste their time supporting hobbies that are political in nature. If they want to watch some crappy womens soccer match, go nuts. Ill keep watching the type of sports that I am interested in, which includes overwhelming, male sports because that is the pinnacle of the sport. Things like this track meet actually open the door for male only track meets in the future which I wouldnt be opposed to. Id love to see more sports segregated by sex.

They want you (men) to be interested in women's sports because women aren't interested in sports. Women are interested in things like reality television, dating shows, etc.. The only way they can get women to show interest in sports is to politicize it and make it part of their crusade against men (hilarious how bitter so many women are).

This still doesn't work very well so they try to brow beat you into "enjoying" women's sports like you might men's sports. Men who succumb to this pressure are really just spineless dorks.

The great news again is that you don't have to watch it. You are not some pig who consumes the slop that is put in front of your face. You don't have to watch any of it, and you shouldn't. They can spend all their money, chasing an audience who is not interested.

They are pushing a rock up an endless hill.

In unrelated news, Serena stores his balls in a jar by their bed.

At some point, someone needs to troll the Woke Leftists and try and stage "men only" events or "whites only" events to see how those get covered by our fake media. Would be hilarious to see the hypocrisy on full display because currently, anything that's "women only" or "black only" is celebrated like the moon landing.
