Yes, but then you see she wanted to Wrestle and compete at 53KG and was kinda screwed out of an opportunity to Wrestle there...so while I don't think they should change the rules FOR her, I wouldn't be opposed to changing them after this. If not for that, I'd have less sympathy. Women's Wrestling's weight classes are much...healthier for them than Men's. Smaller increments. Side rant-I'm so ***ducking** disgusted to see BREAK dancing in the Olympics but they can only have 6 weight classes in MFS(or Greco, I just don't follow it as closely, it's not an insult).

Why is this getting so...contentious? The kid lost again when he was at the precipice of an achievement that would have put him in a particularly unique class. It has to be gut-wrenching. Finals in HS, NCAAs going for his 4th and the Olympics. Just...cut the young man a little slack. He didn't flip anyone off or take a shit on the flag, he was just disappointed with the result. I get it. The US has had a brutal Olympics(but also somehow...pretty successful I guess).

LOL..."they" do? Sure...whatever...

LOL...again, THIS is it? He retired. That's the story. He retired before they deployed! Oh Lawrdy! Nobody ACTUALLY cares about this shit. This is evidence of nothing beyond how little they have on Walz. I can. It's the same shit they tried with John Kerry. https://www.yahoo.com/news/guy-swift-boated-john-kerry-232545407.html?fr=sycsrp_catchall

We do? Ok. I guess if "we know," then...what can I say! I now declare "Cletus," a racial slur!

Uh...ok. And? Is this really the best you've got? A guy who served for 24 years, who then became a teacher. Who fought against insider trading in Congress(which is a big issue when it's Pelosi, not so much I guess when it's Republicans, but...whatever). He was a teacher...a successful Gov! LOL...holy shit the grasping at straws is SOOO sad here!

It doesn't look like the X is working here. Here's how Walz did an "excellent job." And he's a "great guy," and "what they did in Minneapolis was incredible."

Oh yes! I made a racism by saying "Cletus!"

Yes. It's LITERALLY word for word the same exact situation. LOL...are you kidding dude? They took an actual War Hero in John Kerry, they had a guy who dodged service and then they attacked his service record. If you can't see the link, it's because your head is in the sand(or elsewhere obstructing your view)...

Bullshit. She said HALF of Trump's supporters were deplorables.

My bad...I just linked X. Here was his temper(per Trump) when something "big comes up."

I'm feeling good about Snyder. I have...probably an irrational level of confidence in him winning. That version of Zain...sans the ankles fused together at the end and I think he's got a good shot.

I think this is the point. It isn't hard. I bet with an old Italian man who...may or may not have been a bookmaker tied to organized crime(I'm genuinely not sure, if you didn't/couldn't pay, you just couldn't bet anymore). I suppose as a point of reference, that's worse. Gambling with money you don't have with someone who MAY come after you if you lose. So in that respect, you're better off with Fanduel than a Bookie, but...it's still just not good. I know ONE person who gambles and wins. They're a professional poker player. I suspect there are also plenty of people who can gamble on one or two things and be fine. That ain't me. If I start, I'd be putting 100 down on Australia at -2500 to win...Break Dancing or whatever. Hell, I'd have bet good money on Lee winning the Olympics if I still bet. That seemed like a good bet to me. Same as Dake(which I hope will prove to be a good bet). But you throw 100 bucks down on both, you're still in the red. It's not like it comes out to zero. I do enjoy Mattress Mack and his bets. He's managed to find a way to not lose...

Er...eh, that one isn't really gambling...that's just free money.

And by the way, if you want to clutch your pearls because it was pointed out that the white supremacists vote for Trump, then...talk to JD Vance...the guy who compared him to Hitler. Mind you, this was BEFORE he started ripping off Hitler talking points(which I actually attribute to Mueller as I don't think Trump has the historical knowledge to do it on purpose). https://www.reuters.com/world/us/jd-vance-once-compared-trump-hitler-now-they-are-running-mates-2024-07-15/

Oh Christ!! Now it's "He was an assistant, not the head coach." I'm not even going to spend a single second seeing if that's true, if/when he was a Head Coach...I genuinely couldn't care less. I DO however care about how well Trump said Walz handled the protests and riots in the wake of BLM only to now turn around and claim the opposite. https://x.com/

Yeah...they really proved her wrong when she said half of his voters were deplorables! In fact, she may have undershot the mark...I'd put it over half. And white supremacists do support Trump. Until I see a Cletus for Kamala sign, I'm going to guess he's holding onto that vote(though Nick Fuentes is getting pissed I guess). Per the last part...and?

Waaaait a second...you're scolding me for bringing TRUMP into the Presidential race that TRUMP is in and you're bringing up John Kerry? And...by the way, that's not at ALL the same thing as calling Vets "suckers and losers," and asking "what's in it for them." BUT...you do accidentally bring up a strong point. When Bush ran against Kerry, the GOP also did the same thing. The decorated Vietnam vet was attacked for his service by...Bush. So I guess you were right when you said Walz fits in the Democratic party well! And Trump is carrying the proud legacy of the GOP!

Shit, with those horrible bone spurs, how could he run at all!

Sure. And you have one candidate who called all the people who fought and died "suckers, losers," and asked what's in it for them. I'll gladly take that exchange. Or JD Vance talking about how when he was "deployed to Iraq," he stoood up and answered that call from his country! LOL...in an air-conditioned office writing propaganda....which...LOL, that's fine, part of war, but the juxtaposition of the GOP ticket and pretending Walz is some fraud while Vance isn't is a joke and intellectually dishonest(which is different from the normal just...blatant dishonesty of MAGA).

I'm sorry, you said Walz, a guy who served for 24 years and then retired in a totally normal way is somehow less of a Patriot than a guy who was a draft dodger, called veterans suckers and idiots and insulted McCain and Bush and you said he was a...what, "perfect fit for the Democratic party?" I totally agree. He is. Just as Trump and his record on "service," and JD Vance and his record on "service," are perfect fits for the Republicans. Who's deflecting? Is this literally about 4 people on two tickets running for office? You think it's unfair to compare them and their actual service history? Also, you're the guy who claims you've never heard of conditional promotions. LOL...there's no way you're talking to people who've served 20 years in and coming up with that. 24 years in, he retired, shouldn't have said the line about carrying a gun in war. I'll take that over..."Suckers, losers," and asking Kelly, "what's in it for them."

I noticed there was a lot of comments on here when something totally unrelated to Biden or... really even the US policies caused a ONE-day drop in the market, but...crickets the last week?

What's this a map of?

I don't know what he's referencing, I don't go on Flo, but so many of these sports shows are sponsored by FanDuel or whatever else. Hey, they'll match the first 100 dollars you'll likely lose because...who quits when they're ahead!

We're watching this shit play out across all sports. It's almost like the OxyContin...sorta. You're spreading shit, promoting it IN sports(more in the NFL, NBA, MLB) that you KNOW is going to destroy lives, but...whatever, you're getting a cut. Now...I like to place a bet from time to time, but that shit is...well...addictive. That's why I set pretty strict limits, but...I can already see the 20 for 20 in 20 years after a high profile athlete gets popped for betting on games. So far it's been Ridley and then some AAAA players in MLB. But once it's some prospect with huge upside.... "He was a sure bet...until he risked it all."
