I will not watch one second of the Olympics. The enshittification of everything applies to the whole damned thing. I watched a news clip showing the 46 second fight. How shameful. I think of the years of training, focus and sacrifice young women put in to compete at this level only to have to fight some poser pretending to be a woman. The equestrian disqualification is just fraud. Can any Olympics participant, and in particularly those who medal have any confidence or pride knowing that it may not because they actually won, placed or even lost because of outside politics or corruption.

Yeah. The thing about boxing in particular is the training they undergo to be able to take a punch. That is a main part of their training and a female making it to the olympics will have undergone that kind of training...extensively...and obviously of no use in taking a punch from a man. Sick.
