Volleyball. Women’s. Beach. Volleyball.

I know they are wrapping up this crime against humanity but suffer me one more rant against this absurdity taking place in Paris. I had just started to settle down from the Trans Last Supper abomination when an Olympic sized injustice took place. It involves women’s boxing, which in my opinion should not even be an entity let alone a medal contest. But I’ll expound more on that momentarily.
In case you missed it a full grown man was allowed to go toe to toe with a female in a boxing ring.
HIS name is Imane Khelif. HE is a transgender from Algeria.
HER name is Angela Carini and SHE is from Italy.
“The anger towards Khelif, 25, arose after she failed an unspecified gender test in 2023 from the International Boxing Association, a sanctioning body that has been banned by the Olympics since 2019”.
Why do they keep calling HIM, She?
“Carini quit just 46 seconds into the bout after Khelif’s punches dislodged her chinstrap and bloodied her shorts. After deciding to withdraw, she fell to her knees sobbing in the ring and refused to shake hands with Khelif.
“I have never been hit so hard in my life,” Carini tearfully told reporters afterward.”
My Grandfather, who I am named after, taught boxing. But evidently his affinity for the sport wasn’t passed along to me. I’ve never been able to wrap my mind around the attraction of watching two men beat the crap out of each other. But as you know, I’m a lover not a fighter.
Then throw women into the mix. I’ve never liked watching women fight and never will. Even back in grade school I remember turning away from cat fights while others would run to watch and urge them on. I might as well come out of the closet and admit that I am a sexist. To me it makes them appear less feminine. But that’s just me. I’m sure you have your own take on it.
Now, to throw salt in my wound comes this from ESPN:
“Imane Khelif files complaint due to abuse over gender at Paris Olympics”- Connor O’Halloran Aug 11, 2024, 07:56 AM ET
PARIS — Olympic gold-medal-winning boxer Imane Khelif, who endured intense scrutiny about her gender throughout the Paris Games, has filed a formal legal complaint in which she says she was the victim of online abuse.
In a statement posted Sunday to Instagram, Khelif’s attorney, Nabil Boudi, said Khelif, who won the Olympic women’s 66-kilogram boxing title on Friday, asked his legal firm to file a complaint with the Paris prosecutor’s office on her behalf.
“Having just won a gold medal at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, boxer Imane Khelif has decided to lead a new fight: that of justice, dignity and honor,” Boudi said.
Justice, dignity and honor?? Excuse me?
Mr. Boudi, your client likes to beat up girls. Shame on you both.
With all of that being said, I do believe that there is a sport that is both wholesome and sex affirming. One that doesn’t encourage aggression from one female towards another or mandates that they wear a mouthpiece so they won’t lose any teeth. That sport is Women’s Beach Volleyball. I can watch it all day long. Did I mention that I am a sexist?
The next summer games take place in Los Angeles. I wonder if those liberals can out do France for wokeness and vulgarity. The smart money says they can.
