It's somehow acceptable for men to cry over sport failure.

Not in my world.

er, he won...

 

[Shevin Keedy]

Well yeah but they weren't informed of the actual circumstances and being flippant. Twitter isn't exactly the greatest place for nuanced debate or understanding of issues.

Exactly why I come here to the grand old team debating forum.

That Chinese female weightlifter is an absolute monster.
Impressive

er, he won...

I was talking about three divvies in the GB hockey team who lost a bronze medal match.

You wanna learn to read, dave!
This is what you replied directly to:
'...You see that dane crying over the shuttleock tennis? What a jessy. The vikings would be spinning in their graves if they hadn't set fire to their dead on boats...'
And you direct reply, quoting the above post:
'...It's somehow acceptable for men to cry over sport failure...'

So no, you WEREN'T talking about three divvies in the GB hockey team. It's there for all to see, and your lies attempting to cover up your getting it wrong 100%

Disgrace if so.

I was refering to the hockey players. It's your assumption I was addressing the Danish cry baby. I can assure you though that it was the 3 British cry babies I was refering to.

What kind of stupid remark is that.

Can you not follow logic?

Jeez...

No you weren't! Don't lie, when it is plain to see you were replying about the Dane who won the Badminton Gold.

It's quite clearly there to see...

To me it read like he was talking about the 3 blubbing brits.

It's obvious to all but Mr Old Blue 2.

Nope. What people said was that she only had a chance at all because she was male.

She's a terrible weightlifter, oldest of the lot, coming off serious injuries. She was considered, at most, an outside bet for a medal, but likely to be around the top ten. The result here isn't a surprise, nor does it mean anything - but, as we all knew, the fact she 'failed' is being used as 'evidence' trans athletes have no advantage, despite the fact she was just - clearly - terrible.

This was said repeatedly by many people many months ago.

There's actually a very balanced article on this on the guardian(no really) referencing dina asher smiths 100 metre pb being bettered by male under 15 year olds

Davek replying to Shevin Keedy. As follows:
Shevin Keedy:

And Davek's reply in the same post:

Have a good evening, y'all.
