de, I don't disagree, with you on this point. But if an individual Russian can show they didn't dope and aren't doping, would you agree that a remedy should be available for them? I suppose the answer is that they don't compete for Russia but for some other made up entity's flag. But I would expect no more than half participation if the doping is that prevalent in Russia. mspart

It sounds like that is what he is doing. Which for fans, not the greatest, but it is no doubt the best path for him if he needs to heal. Is there any hope for his knees anymore? He needs bionics or something. mspart

Do I really need to define this for you? I hope not. Think George Floyd riots and fallout and I'm sure it will all come rushing back to you. mspart

They are all very good at doing that and reporters seem to always get played and move on. mspart

GWN, Which party pushed for defund the police? It may not be a majority of Ds that like this idea but it was Ds that pushed for it. Which part is pushing for youth to have access to puberty blockers and reassignment surgery? It certainly isn't the Rs. A majority of Ds may not hold that position, but the idea is pushed and backed by Ds. I don't think you can argue any of this. If a majority of Ds are not in favor of these things, why do they elect people who are? Sounds like a resorting of priorities is needed. I do agree that most people in the country are against these things whether D or R. But it is disingenous to say that Ds aren't pushing these things when it is demonstrable that they are. Just ask yourself, who was against the "don't say gay" law in FL which made it illegal to teach K-3 about sex, sexuality, and sexual dysphoria? R's or Ds? Just ask yourself, who is/was for and enacted defunding the police? Rs or Ds? We may be being sold a load of crap, but these things are not even close to being in dispute. mspart

I'm surprised Mike hasn't chimed in based on the title of this thread. mspart

Here is an interesting chart. Seems pretty cyclical. mspart

Funny that Fix and Lee don't show up at US Nats at least for now. Fix usually is pretty reliable. Perhaps he feels bad he didn't fail in the finals once again. Cheap shot. I hope he comes out and takes care of business. Lee too. mspart

Is Fix or Lee going to show up? Arujau is in the mix. I understand PSU folks wait until the last moment or so was said earlier. So I won't ask about those. mspart

That might be a good deal for OU. I'd rather Pendleton stay in Corvallis. mspart

Is Gilman accepting Final X finals position at 57? Or will he go to US Nats at 61? mspart

It was a thought answer. You might have to think about it for a little while. I'm sure you will get it after a short time pondering it. mspart -

To your second bullet, I could not find anything to support my statement. In reading an article on DeSantis saying this isn't over I found this: https://finance.yahoo.com/news/desantis-leaves-everyone-cliffhanger-retribution-151451637.html DeSantis didn't say what would come next in his battle with the family-favorite company, a feud that first began in early 2022. That year, Disney drew DeSantis' ire after its leaders said publicly that the company would work to repeal the Parental Rights in Education Act, the legislation LGBTQ rights groups and Democrats have derided as "Don't Say Gay," because it limits classroom instruction about gender identity and sexual orientation. Now, it must be remembered that the law only stops such education to K-3 students. Yet, Disney and those who feel the same are essentially saying that it is wrong to not teach K-3 students about their genitals and how to have sex and what sex toys are and how you might not be who you think you are, you might be the opposite gender and steps you can take to get yourself to be the other gender. No restrictions to what is taught in the classroom is the only solution. Why they are doing this I have no idea. But this takes them from being a company with an opinion to becoming a political actor. Again, more reason why their special deal is being revoked. Whatever happened to common sense? It went the way of the corded phone. With this kind of logic of allowing minors to make these kinds of decisions, why not allow K-3 kids to vote, drink alcohol, drive cars, own guns? Would anyone do that? Why not? Because minors don't have the maturity or mental clarity of understanding the consequences of their actions. This has been known for all time and is corroborated by science in showing that their brain function and thinking functions are developing, not finished. But that is what Disney and their kind are pushing for, to allow minors to make the ultimate life choice like they absolutely know what they are doing. This is pure grooming and child abuse at the highest level. Perhaps you remember when this stuff was brought up that it was being taught in the schools. "oh no, that isn't done, who would do a stupid thing like that?" was championed by all the left until Disney took on FL in this fight. Then it because apparent that it is being taught in the schools and that is they way they want it and don't want it to stop. I don't know how to describe it any other way. And Disney is all about it. Why this has become the pet project of leftists is a wonder. And I say this seriously, no thinking adult thinks this is a good thing. Not one. This is a realm of zero reason and zero facts for the left, that's all they have. And that is why you can be cancelled for saying what I have said, because they don't have facts and data on their side, they only have vitriol and cancellation. mspart -
Knees are for wusses!! Actually I was rooting for Spencer at NCAAs. I'll be rooting for him if he competes at US Nationals. mspart

Disney took a position, having a special relationship with FL, that was opposite to what the FL legislature and, by extension, the people wanted. And they were very very vocal about this opposition. If they wanted to become political about this, the situation became political. To your last sentence, this has been going on everyday. I agree it is unamerican to have to pay a heavy price for speaking your mind. The Left has been doing that very thing to non-conformists for years now. Now the left is complaining when the table is turned? I see this as a tit for tat situation. mspart -

GWN, I think it wasn't that Disney is left leaning, it was their attitude to teaching K-3 kids about sex, sexuality and gender dysphoria. They complained and were going to push to have that law removed. So they essentially became political. So the R's in the legialature and governors office said, you don't want to go there. What this is about is teaching children that changing their genders is a good thing and can be done and in some cases is the right thing to do. And Disney was leading that charge. And Democrats all over the nation are leading that charge. This is just wrong and I don't understand how adults could think puberty blockers, and gender reassignment surgery is a good thing for minors, that will affect them for the rest of their lives. Minors don't have the maturity to make that kind of decision. That is what this whole thing is about. mspart -
Well, when democrats push gender affirming drugs and surgeries for minors, and grooming them to think this is a wonderful idea, that is certainly not leading with kindness, do you agree? That is what the issue was with DeSantis and the so called Dont say gay bill. Never did the bill say anything about gay. What it said was there will be no teaching of sex, sexuality, or gender in classes K-3. And that was the most horrible thing in the world to the D's. Why is that, I'm sure you are asking. Well, because that is called in other realms of thought, grooming. We are indoctrinating the kids to think they can change their gender and this by the state. This is not parents' call, strictly the State's call. Well now it isn't the State's call and how sad is that? Very sad from the Disney and D hubbub that this created. Since when are minors capable of making life long decisions? Since never. Yet, we tell them they can't drive, they can't drink, they can't own a house, they can't buy a gun, but by golly, they can take puberty blocking drugs that will affect them the rest of their lives and they can cut their breasts off and testicles and penis off and this will affect them the rest of their lives. Do you not see a problem here? That is why she said what she said. It is not rocket science unless you are fully into the idea that minors are fully intellectually able to make these kinds of decisions. If they can for that, then these same people should be pushing them to drive cars and buy guns at age 11. Of course no sane adult would do that, yet insane adults are clamoring for grooming kids in school to have them change their gender. One more thing, is that there is no changing one's gender. You are what you are. There is no changing that. You can cut off and plug up and extract what you will but that does not change your gender. Your choromosomes still tell the truth. If a minor wants to change their sex, they can make that decision when they are an adult, but preying on minors for this purpose is ghastly and evil. Just my $0.02. mspart

Good to know U of Wash was leading the charge. I went to BYU and after I got out Mark Schultz was leading the team and doing well. Then BYU dropped wrestling. I still haven't forgiven them. mspart
