The International Olympic Committee will prohibit transgender athletes from participating in women’s sports, starting at the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles.
The new policy, approved by the IOC’s executive committee Thursday, requires all athletes to undergo a genetic test to compete in women’s sporting events at the Olympics.
People tend to take up sports they’re suited to though, and nobody wants to watch a bunch of shortasses doing a sport badly. At least not at the Olympics.
Being built suboptimally for a sport doesn’t mean that you’d be bad at the sport. The skills you develop would still be there and be equally impressive on anyone.
One of the things I find so fascinating about powerlifting is how the technique varies as you go across weight classes. It becomes a whole different game for people with different bodies. I’d love to see all the different ways that other sports can be played too.
Basing the rules of competetive sports on what the audience wants is fucking moronic, make the rules fair and logical and if the viewers don’t like it they can get off the couch and go play sports about it
You do understand that professional sport relies on sponsorship, which in turn relies on people watching?
People will watch it either way, sponsors will pay either way, you don’t have a clue what you’re talking about
You’re making a lot of outlandish claims with no proof bud.
There’s a lot of competition for watch time these days.
Lol pure projection, try harder
