VILLEPINTE, France (AP) — Imane Khelif of Algeria won her opening Olympic boxing bout on Thursday when opponent Angela Carini of Italy quit after just 46 seconds.

Khelif was disqualified from the 2023 world championships after failing an unspecified gender eligibility test, and her presence at the Paris Olympics has become a divisive issue.

Carini and Khelif exchanged only a few punches before Carini walked away and abandoned the bout, an extremely unusual occurrence in Olympic boxing. Carini, whose headgear apparently became dislodged at least once before she quit, didn’t shake Khelif’s hand after the decision was announced, but she cried in the ring on her knees.

Afterward, a still-tearful Carini said she quit because of intense pain in her nose after the opening punches. Carini, who had a spot of blood on her trunks, said she wasn’t making a political statement and was not refusing to fight Khelif.

Can we at least all agree that men should not be allowed to beat up women for Olympic medals?

Also, drives me crazy that the media universally refers to this person as "her." That is not correct. It is a dude.
Any respect that I said I have for you is gone. You are just as bad as Bryce.

Headline on Fox News now on a day when American citizens were finally released from Russia after many years, stock market dropped 400 points, and a historic political campaign is in full swing:

Olympics allow biological male to fight woman — Trump and Harris have very different reactions

bmw, and Fox News are both clearly grasping at straws.:lol :lol: :lol

They can't react! What the facist said was indefensable, and only idiots like Vance would even try to.

Let's switch the subject to men/women!

For Vance so loved his couch, he attempted in vain to create more couches...

Ok, let's talk about Vance and his couch. You all know that was a joke, right? It didn't happen, and the citation to his book was fake.

Do you think it is fair to call someone a sexual deviant based on a knowingly false story?

Do you think he wears eyeliner to make himself look better on TV or does he wear it so his sofabed just unfolds on its own when it sees him?

As my friend posted, "A woman boxer is getting criticized for beating another woman boxer, by people who don't bat an eye when men hit women."

Sorry man… like Eagleton and his depression Vance is stuck with this forever and his career on the national stage is probably over. He will NEVER be the Republican nominee in some subsequent election. He’s way too damaged from all this stuff to win anything absent Trump. He truly played with fire and got burned with his stupid comments.

I'm not talking about his actual comments. I'm talking about the couch specifically. Because I agree - that will stick with him forever.

I'm asking if you think that's fair or not. I've seen virtually no backlash against unfairly labeling someone a sexual deviant over something that everybody agrees that person did not do.

It's not like the Associated Press put it out there... it was some troll on Twitter who made it up and it took off like things on the Internet do.

And the biggest reason it took off is because Vance looks like the sort of guy who would fuck a couch.

Did Richard Gere stick a gerbil up his ass?

We don't know if Vance is a sexual deviant or not, but at this junction, the pro-union clown seems to be a TERRIBLE choice.

I dunno Freak.
After perusing this thread, I just looked at something like 50 images of her on Google. Sure looks like a dude to me. Do the same and then come back and tell me you honestly disagree.
