Destroying women’s sports

The world record for men in the 1500m race is 3:26, a full 24 seconds faster than women.

A time of 4 minutes at the 1500m mens race at the 2018 Gold coast games would not have even made the finals. The slowest man in the finals ran the race in 3:53.43. (pdf alert)

The fastest woman ran the same race in 4:00.71.(pdf alert) The thing is, the person who won wasn’t a woman. It was a man who isn’t fast enough to compete against the men, so has chosen to identify as a woman. Watch the race, and see that this “woman” has a clear physique advantage over real women, the fastest of whom ran the race in 4:03.09. (Youtube won’t let me embed this one. Just go to 3:56 to see the end of the race)

In other COVID news

I was just contacted by a contact tracer from the health department in the county where I work, because I was exposed to COVID through my in laws. My employer reported me because I told them about the exposure. They informed me that I am under quarantine for fourteen days from the date of exposure. Without too many details:

My in laws, as well as my wife and I, live in one Florida county. My wife works for a school in the same county. I work in the neighboring county directly to the north. My wife was told she could return to work after ten days, which meant she returned to work yesterday.

So I live in South county with my wife, who also works in south county. I work in North county. My wife and I were both exposed on the same day, but I am quarantined for four days longer than she is, because why?

Who knows?

Corporate welfare

Mark Cuban confirmed that his sports team, the Dallas Mavericks, is no longer playing the National Anthem at any of its events.

The largest recipients of corporate welfare in the USA is sports teams. They get tons of tax breaks, including cities who build their business venues for them. The amount of tax revenue is small compared to the costs. So isn’t it time for the American taxpayer to stop funding billionaire owned business ventures and their multimillionaire employees? Let them pay for their own expenses.
