  1. Spencer said he himself sucks.
  2. He always is so critical of himself to where it sounds a bit unhealthy. If you watched the post match show, he said that he isn't sure what's wrong with him but he keeps freezing, he wrestles well in practice then can't perform, that if he wrestles like that then USA isn't getting a medal at 57kg. Even Jordan was like oh stop it... He also pays too much attention to the haters. He said something along the lines that everyone always says he's an amateur at freestyle, then defended himself. Idk anyone who says Spencer isn't amazing at freestyle.
  3. told ya he was gonna say he sucks.
  4. Is Spencer going to say he sucks or throw a tantrum because he didn't tech LL? I'm gonna say yes.
  5. Who spent $5M on a social media influencer?
  6. He's got a great gut, but that's a lot of points to give up... Will he get exposed?
  7. Yianni has all the potential in the world but just can't keep it together. I feel like most of his losses are him blowing it rather than the other guy taking it from him. Seems that way, at least. One thing is for sure - this is gonna be the worst team in quite some time aside from Spencer and Zahid.
  8. Yep, exactly that time frame lol. And for middle school wrestlers going to states.
  9. Very surprising… looked like he was the more winded of the two! Great match by Carr, started off thinking that Mesenbrink was broadening the gap, then he comes back and takes it.
  10. Why does Brent Metcalf have bleached blonde hair?.
  11. Starocci is violating Parker… really stole the show
  12. Who wins between Pyles and Willie though??
  13. Here’s my solution for all inclusivity and fairness, brought to you by ChatGPT. What do we think? 🏛 UNIVERSAL SPORTS ELIGIBILITY FRAMEWORK™ I. STRUCTURE: THREE COMPETITIVE DIVISIONS Division Eligibility Female Cis women, intersex women, and trans women who meet strict eligibility criteria Male All cis men, trans men, and intersex athletes regardless of hormone status Open Anyone, regardless of gender identity, puberty history, or hormone levels II. SPORT CATEGORY MATRIX Eligibility enforcement scales with advantage risk by sport type. Category Examples Eligibility Strictness Why It Matters Power-Based. Sprinting, swimming, weightlifting, rugby, combat sports MAXIMUM Strength, speed, bone structure, endurance advantages retained post-puberty Hybrid Soccer, basketball, softball, volleyball, tennis, golf MODERATE Physical + skill blend, moderate advantage possible Skill-Based Archery, esports, shooting, equestrian, MINIMAL Negligible retained advantage, focus on inclusion III. FEMALE DIVISION ELIGIBILITY BY GROUP Cisgender Women Automatically eligible Exception: If T > 5 nmol/L in Power sports → must either: Suppress T, OR Demonstrate no performance edge, OR Enter Open Division Trans Women Eligibility depends on puberty stage at transition, hormone status, and sport type. Puberty Stage at Transition Status Eligibility Summary Before Tanner Stage 2 (Pre-puberty) Eligible for Female Division in all sports Tanner Stage 2–3 (Early-to-mid puberty) Allowed if T ≤ 2.5 nmol/L for 24+ months After Tanner Stage 4 (Completed male puberty) Must suppress T and pass No Performance Edge review Additional Sport-Type Rules: Skill-based sports: T ≤ 2.5 nmol/L for 12+ months — no panel needed Hybrid sports: Full 24 months + panel review for late-transitioners Power sports: Strict enforcement of all conditions; panel always required Intersex / DSD Athletes If T ≤ 5 nmol/L → Fully eligible for Female Division in all sports If T > 5 nmol/L → Allowed in Skill Panel review in Hybrid Must suppress or pass performance test in Power sports IV. “NO PERFORMANCE EDGE” PATHWAY Applies to: Trans women post-Tanner Stage 4 Intersex/DSD athletes with high T (>5 nmol/L) Must submit verifiable, sport-specific data showing parity with cisgender female peers. Includes: Muscle Mass Reduction: DXA scan or significant BMI reduction Performance Regression: Slower sprint/lift/swim times compared to pre-transition PRs Competition benchmarks that match top cisfemale athletes Strength / Endurance Testing: Grip strength, VO₂ max, and power output within female elite norms Panel Review: Independent panel: 1 endocrinologist, 1 sport scientist, 1 female athlete rep Approval → Female Division Denial → Open Division V. WHO PAYS? Group Pays for... Notes Youth (<18) School/state body covers T-testing, panel, travel if needed No youth excluded for financial reasons Adults Athlete pays for therapy/testing; panel cost may be split Sport federations may subsidize based on financial need Intersex (if challenged) Governing body pays for all required testing Cannot compel surgery; no medical coercion allowed VI. OPEN DIVISION FEASIBILITY Mandatory across all levels to prevent athlete bans. Youth/Rec level: Can be integrated into co-ed or open rec leagues Elite/Pro level: Standalone bracket with: Equal prize structure Official rankings Recruitment and sponsorship support Launch strategy: Start with track, combat sports, and tennis as pilot categories Encourage wildcard entries and trans/intersex visibility campaigns Build participation via regional qualifiers VII. CASE STUDIES Marissa Rothenberger (Trans HS Softball Pitcher) Sport: Hybrid (softball) Reportedly transitioned post-puberty, has a strong throwing arm Analysis: If T ≤ 2.5 nmol/L for 24+ months AND passes grip/speed/mass testing → Female Division If not → Open Division only Imane Kelif (Cis Woman, Olympic Boxer – Algeria) Sport: Power-Based Reported natural T > 5 nmol/L Refuses suppression on principle Analysis: Ineligible for Female Division Eligible for Open Division Cannot be forced to lower T or undergo surgery Caster Semenya (Intersex Middle-Distance Runner – South Africa) Sport: Power-Based (800m) Reported T 7–10+ nmol/L, refuses suppression Analysis: Ineligible for Female Division without suppression or performance regression Can race in Open Division Review panel optional if performance has measurably declined Mack Beggs (Trans Male Wrestler – Texas) Sport: Power-Based Assigned female at birth, on testosterone Was forced to compete in Female Division under Texas rules Analysis: Eligible for Male or Open Not allowed in Female Division while on T (performance-enhancing) AB Hernandez (Trans Girl, Youth Track – California) Sport: Hybrid (track: sprints & relays) Transitioned during puberty Analysis: If T suppression began before Tanner Stage 2 → Eligible for Female If transition occurred after Tanner Stage 4 → Must pass all tests OR enter Open If uncertain timing → Subject to 24+ month T suppression + performance review VIII. CORE PRINCIPLES Principle Implementation Protect fairness T suppression + performance standards for power/hybrid sports Full inclusion Open Division ensures no bans or exclusion Science over identity Physical benchmarks > subjective identity alone No forced medicalization No required surgery or invasive sex testing Legally defensible Equal access + biomarker criteria = compliant globally Scalability Works across school sports, NCAA, Olympic federations
  14. Tf? Throwing cheap shots and comparing her mass sexual abuser to a trans person playing kids sports is a joke. Not comparable by any means. Calling the trans kid a boy and ridiculing them on social media for millions to see is just cruel as well.
  15. 1 million TikTok followers? Maybe Beau got with her to boost his following for his flipping videos
  16. Yeah, it might’ve been closer to an hour that I wasted haha. She probably has cleaned it up, but there’s still some hookup stories, rating guys, sorority chick type of stuff it seems. Not my cup of tea. Also looks like Carter’s mom, Beau, and Beau’s wife are getting into it lol. Most of Carter’s mom’s burner account posts were recently deleted tho. I’m curious what this supposed “violating” he’s done. Quite the word to throw around…
  17. Def some cringe stuff but not nearly as bad as I was expecting. Looks like she’s achieving what most kids want these days, a solid social media following by posting whatever gets views. Didn’t see anything provocative even. I want that 30 minutes of my life back please.
  18. Lame caution and 1 that gave him criteria with like 3 seconds to go, plus Beau was under the impression he had criteria the entire time due to the score so it didn't matter. Would've wrestled differently if it were reffed correctly I bet.
  19. Strauss also worked the Ohio high school (and maybe grade school) state tournaments for decades performing skin checks and medical care...
  20. The lack of updates and the duration between them is concerning…
  21. The report paid for by Ohio state reported at least 47 instances that were categorized as rape, a lot of them being as you described. They suspect a lot more than that occurred.
  22. He’s the coach in waiting, yeah? Would they bounce him out for JB, and if so, would JB do that to Snyder?
