Rio Olympics WOMENS 800m, should female participants sit on the start line in protest?

It would make headlines but no difference. Also too much money involved in sponsors and fame. We aren't talking about transgender. Even though these women might look like men, if they don't have a package they are going to be allowed to compete.

The package is inside!

lol if they are gonna sit on their asses and not compete, they will probably be shamed and seen as losers. and lose all their sponsors at the same time

What is female? The answer is it's not a binary answer.

The corollary to this is the ioc/Iaaf is seeking anything to make new records including Doping and sexually complicated "women."

They shouldnt throw away their efforts to be Olympians. Maybe turning their backs when Caster is announced. Or they could start a movement with shirts displaying the female gender symbol. Being the Olympics, some of these problems should be set aside. But that may be an old idea from when the monetary aspect of winning the Olympics wasnt so great.

They would be crushed by the liberal media. Absolutely destroyed. Calls for lifetime bans.

You mean get to the final, and then not run the final?

What do you think?

Oh yeah. Totally. The real women should just "sack up," or "take it like a man" while these testosterone-coursing freaks steal their livelihoods and ruin their sport.

Stupidest shit I've seen posted all day including ventolin and Tony's nonsense.

If they are going to do it, they should do it before the Olympics. I'd suggest it's almost too late to make a difference. Semenya, Niyonsaba and Wambui already have the medals, unless some doped up Russian knocks one of them out.

I agree. They just to man-up and run the race.

Why not? They'll be drawing dead at that point so is fighting for bronze at best worth it?

I they believe they have no fair chance, then yes.

The IAAF and IOC would not approve and likely ban the runners before they set foot inside the stadium. The shemale would crush a minor field instead of crushing an international elite final.

W200m wants to protest Schippers.

WLJ wants to protest Reese.

... the list goes on and on and on...

source? or did you just create these accusations out of thin air?

No, would they get shamed by the liberal media? Who knows maybe... maybe not? But it would bring to light the unfairness of the situation, which needs to be addressed immediately.

The only reason the IAAF isn't going after it right now is because of all the corruption from last year and doping... they don't need any more negative press

I don't think they need to do anything. The Olympics gets far more attention internationally than usual track and field events. Far more people will be watching, who don't not usually watch and don't know the back story. those people, all over the world, are going to see a man race against women and they won't like it. There's a real chance Mr Semenya will live to regret winning that gold medal.

You've got a point here. I did notice better coverage of Semenya's last race. Super slow-mo shot of "her" angular face and wide receiver-esque torso/shoulders. It was grotesque, but it had to be seen. The Olympics will be a freak show.

Of course the announcers, being consummate professionals, poo-poo'd and downplayed the whole issue of men crushing the women's field but that's their job.

This would be playing into the liberals hands. Liberals do not care about transgenders, they just want to spread their hate against anyone who disagrees with them.

The solution is for males to demand to be able to compete against Semenya.

You are very cynical. The frustrating part is that the history is testimony to this being the appropriate attitude.
