adopting the worldview of "if you have literally any inherent advantage over the average competitor you should be disqualified because it's just not fair" with regards to a friendly entertainment-first competition that is fundamentally about showing the peak of human athletics. because of woke pronouns

chuds will literally say that this description with a straight face is exactly what communism represents and then throw a tantrum the second someone who is not a cishet WASP kicks their shit in. what happened to your little haplogroups and calipers big dawg you're supposed to be taking this shit on the chin oh wait it's literally just racial main character syndrome cool cool

    I saw someone explain this - in a boxing tournament if you break your nose right at the beginning of a multi fight series, you're going to not only have a bad time, you might get like permenant damage and you'll also lose because you'll be focused on protecting your nose.

    sounds like good boxers should really protect their nose

      something that's not touched upon is that apparently there was a significant weight difference between the two, despite being in the same weightclass. Getting punched by someone 30% heavier than you is gonna hurt, no matter how good you are at guarding.

        wait people will compete near the bottom of a weight class? that sounds like an awful idea.

      I mean yeah, apparently she came in with a recently broken nose. I don't really get the hate for this lady though I haven't seen her imply that the Algerian lady is trans? It's just other transphobes
