Portland varsity girls 400m: male athlete wins by 7 seconds

Shocking that's in portland, just shocking. Enjoy all the homeless and crappy weather Losers.

The homelessness issue is getting better and the weather is just fine, bro. Spring is coming and it's going to be an amazing outdoor T&F season.

What I will say is that the vast majority of Portlanders that I talk to don't agree with having boys competing in girls sports. It's a sham and one only the state athletic association can fix.

Proof there is a lot of mental illness.

Agreed! I'm in many ways a typical liberal Portlander, and am totally against boys competing in girls events. Like most people, I think it's a no-brainer. All the people I know, which outside of my family is basically other left-leaning runners, feel the same way. Not really sure who the people are who champion the boys masquerading as girls are. And I really don't care to be "approved of" by the right-wingers, and am well aware that that is something that will never happen, but still, let the record show: most hardcore liberal Portlanders, as far as I can tell, don't support this type of thing.

Why do you vote for Government who does?

First off, the OSAA sets the competition and eligibility rules. They are not a government agency and they operate much like the NCAA. The legislature only gets involved if OSAA policy violates the Oregon constitution.

Oregon politics are strange. We used to routinely elect centrist and libertarian leaning Republicans to both state and national office. The problem is that the state GOP has been taken over by crazy people. 100% certifiable nutcases. Not fiscal conservatives that talk about religion a bit too much or the small government/leave people alone Republican, but the full blown frightening theocratic gun nuts that want to ban reproductive care of any kind, create a white utopia, return to the 1880s cowboy fantasist kind. The ones that think EVERYTHING is a conspiracy or an indoctrination and are even too extreme for MAGA. Our US senators run virtually unopposed because the GOP nominee is a GED holding trad wife that believes aliens speak to her in dreams or a life insurance salesman that has run, and lost, all 15 elections that he’s ever entered.

So, the mostly center-left populace along the I-5 corridor between Eugene and Portland vote for the status quo Dem that speaks in complete sentences and attended college. One party rule kind of sucks but there is no real alternative and we don’t feel safe giving power to Madame Moonbeam and her plan, provided by the grey aliens of Zeta Reticuli, to turn our public schools into academies for the psychic arts and spirit communications.

Back to the original topic, no one likes this situation and ugly things happened at the state meet last year. The vast majority of all Oregonians find this unfair and OSAA sees no reason to change things. Inaction is their plan.

And where is the interview?

could it get worse?

We need to be kind. You might not like Ada is running by the rules and that is what it is.

Parks did all they said and so much more (i'm talking legit coaching incompetence, way more then what was reported ) and he is never getting that job back, like ever.

Because I really, really care about things like air & water pollution, school funding, forestry issues, women's rights, rule of law, civil rights, and public health. Since the right wing in Washington, Oregon, and around the USA is wrong on those issues, I vote against them.

I hate the idiotic stance the Dems have taken regarding boys in girls' sports, but that is not the only issue that I care about.

You should be proud of how progressive your state is. And on the *right* side of history!

No. People need to take a stand against this injustice.

Womens rights? Lol murdering the unborn?

How fast did ada run? im guessing about 52 seconds ?

Because we are not single issue voters. If there were more than 2 options I would happily vote for a government that protects women's sports. I just have higher priorities.

If the rules are wrong we have to change them. It's why we have a government and organizations like it.

Lets stay on topic. The abortion threads are somewhere else(DJTs second term probably).
