As Mighty Attack Tribble pointed out, we’re also talking about someone whose winning percentage is, at best, 47% and hasn’t won medals facing someone who did this same shit 4 years ago, somehow forgetting boxing is a combat sport in that time. And she’s not even the one making the accusations about Khelif but she hasn’t exactly helped. We’re talking about the same sort of thing as that triathlon athlete who finished 225th who whined about the person who won 74th, I think, because they had a transition years ago even though, again, it’s a lower midcarder whining about a midcarder. No disrespect to any athlete here but, taking away the human rights debate for a brief second, it’s only newsworthy in the sense we should be laughing and meme’ing the athlete who can’t take a punch at the Olympic boxing instead of discussing things that haven’t happened and likely won’t happen.

Not to mention the skateboarder grifting a living after "missing out" on winning a skateboarding competition because of a trans woman. And another 24 or so contenders, including a seven year old. Reality is that trans women are never going to dominate women's sport, especially the more physical events, because they're the only ones actively trying to reduce their testosterone levels.

to me at least it feels like a concerted effort to slowly creep in hate filled ideas until they become moderately accepted, so the goalposts keep moving like what he said originally was awful but coming back from something you said that's gonna put a target on someone and saying "oopsie"? you a f***ing psychopath or something? come on Thats the thing that's really pissing me off. This is a woman who comes from a country where she could be jailed or even killed if she was what these people are claiming her to be, and his response to getting called out on that is "Oopsie"? That is just, like, who the f*** raised you? I guy who is on camera making out with a teenage girl. So. Ideal parent

Can we change the name like we do to the Logan Paul threads? It's specifically for his commentary, and he's so much worse. Might as well sticky it too. Keep it on page 1 This thread has had more title changes than the 24/7 championship. I can't fit it all in the character limit.

I think "logan paul: dumpster fire" fits perfectly for the next thread title and description of logan paul.

transphobia? Are we really getting into the discussion of whether biological males should compete in Olympic boxing matches with biological females? What has happened to this forum? Is it turning into r/Politics? Do your research before running your mouth.

I feel vindicated in hating this dude long before he outed himself as a transphobe. Paul can go and he can take McAfee with him, it’s 2024 for f***’s sake
Honestly I wouldn’t even give him the satisfaction and payday that comes with a PPV match. Strip him of the belt, let two (hopefully) non-shitheads fight for it and let the transphobe crypto-scammer sit out his contract.

I really don't like to comment on anything like this especially without knowing facts. She was supposedly born female but with male DNA. She may produce different hormones in her body which may give her a strength advantage over other biological females because of her biology. Most of what came out before was "She has male chromosomes so she should fight men." Then it came out she was born a female anyway. Do you punish her by making her fight men who still may be biologically stronger? Or shun her when she stomps other females? Tough subject. If i don't have all the facts straight I'm sorry, or if anything I said was offensive I'm sorry. Im not trying to be offensive. It's just as tough decision all around. You’re right about not knowing the facts. “Male DNA” isn’t even a thing.

I suspect, and this is only my view, that HHH is shitting his pants right now because, from a creative perspective, he's in a no-win situation.
LA Knight beats Logan Paul - Logan Paul might just take his ball and go home. Little of value would be lost from our end, but WWE might lose a boatload of money from losing the Prime sponsorship.
Logan Paul beats LA Knight - WWE risks losing ratings, market share and revenue when a non-insignificant portion of the audience switches channels whenever L. Paul is on TV or, worse, decides that Wednesday night is a better night for fighting than either Monday or Friday (is Rampage still a thing?).
Either way, Trips, or anyone who steps out for that scrum, will be responsible for either mitigating or exacerbating this matter. Get all butthurt that nobody's kissing ass, and it's going to make it worse. That person needs to be clear in denouncing Logan Paul's comments and in telling that room that he's been educated on WWE's stance that such statements are hurtful, hateful, and do not reflect the company's values. To say anything otherwise is to court disaster. Wrestling fans are the most politically progressive of any sports or sports-entertainment fandom. It'd be nice if the suits in these companies were a little more understanding of that.

He’s a dickhead but I don’t think he’s the type to be petty about losing matches.

If nothing else, if not to LA Knight at the second biggest show of the year, then who and when? Yeah, Knight wins, Logan probably goes and hides out for a bit and they trot him back out around Rumble. That's my guess, at least. I also tend to think that there are other folks involved in Prime that would tell him not to start messing with sponsorships, etc. As bad as this sounds, he's already going to have certain types supporting his sports drink now that weren't supporting it yesterday and he didn't need to pull sponsorships to do it.

I suspect, and this is only my view, that HHH is shitting his pants right now because, from a creative perspective, he's in a no-win situation. I don't know if I agree with that because of historical precedence of a) the parent company seemingly fine with Dana White being Dana White, b) HHH having the PR ability of an Italian boxer whose unprepared to take a punch in a boxing tournament and c) Logan's still in the company after having lawsuits thrown at him and associated with things that are dubious at best. And heck, KSI is still banned to this day from any Eurogamer Expo event after video evidence of sexual harassment and he appeared at WrestleMania. Misinformation is really bad, no doubt, but this feels like the equivalent of punishing Al Capone for Tax Invasion. No doubt bad but way bottom of the list of actual sackable offenses. He'll lose the title to LA Knight, leave for a bit, come back as a "controversial figure on the internet" again and none will be the wiser.
