Re: Transgendered Athletes in Professional Sports
What rule? He ran at the last Olympics. I think it is awesome that he can un at the paraolympics. As far a trans-gendered athletes I really have no problem with female-born athletes competing "up" if they can hack it. As for the other way around that patently unfair to me.

Even RG3 has constantly said he is and wants to develop as a pocket passer and actually invoked a point I had been saying for years when arguing against guys like Vick. The ball travels a lot faster through the air then it does on the ground. Tom Brady, Eli Manning, Peyton Manning, Drew Brees none of these guys run yet they allow their teams to dominate offensively. I don't mind the running now but eventually the running has to stop. Luckily RG3 seems to want to move in that direction as well and unlike Vick he's capable of doing it. Sorry I know this is about TG athletes but the thought makes me more lightheaded then sex ed in 8th grade. "ALL RIGHT KIDS NOW THIS IS SYPHILIS!"

Re: Transgendered Athletes in Professional Sports
Maybe it's because I'm an out of towner but I never got the appeal of Czban to start with. He always came off as a pompous a-hole who was never happy unless he was complaining about something.

What's funny is he's so pompus that he still won't back off his stance that the skins traded to much for RG3. Claims he would still reverse the trade if he could. No idea how he has listeners.

Re: Transgendered Athletes in Professional Sports
Czabe is horrible. And he and Knoche were beyond offensive "I think the proper term is 'it', she must be Russian (or something like that)"

Re: Transgendered Athletes in Professional Sports
Where do you draw the line? If you're going to allow gender reassignment then why not genetically modified everything else. Get them synapses firing quick time, gene spliced athletes for all!

Re: Transgendered Athletes in Professional Sports
Doesn't have anything to do with genetics. Physical and hormone changes only.

Re: Transgendered Athletes in Professional Sports
Simply put, a woman will never ever professionally compete with a man on a physical level (without the intervention of some drugs). If they can, I'm all for them competing with men if they so choose to. However, I'm not in favor a woman-trapped-in-a-man's-body competing against women. It presents a unfair advantage. There are professionally gay athletes that compete against their own sex and that's how it should stay.
