Man impersonated as a female athlete


Recommended Posts

Ok the immature 13 year old in me is coming out but did no one else find the guy's name amusing? What a difference a small typo could make. :laugh:

As for the story itself. Just odd. Reminded me of that movie from the early 90s where Rodney Dangerfield coaches an awful girls' soccer team and he gets his gf's son to play on the team. I think it was called Ladybugs.

I don't see why this is an issue since Michelle Wie is competing as a man.  :angry:  How about you win an LPGA event first?

I actually agree with you, BOOG. Though the PGA doesn't have a gender requirement, it's just silly for a woman to compete in that league when females already have a league for their gender. I mean, it just doesn't make sense... no offense, but if you're not going to win it, what's the point? Do you like defeat or something?

I've got nothing against women's rights, but this is going too far. There's nothing wrong with someone like Danica Patrick racing in the Indy League since it's the only league, but why do women keep insisting on playing in men's leagues?

RangerLG: That's because at the time the PGA was created it wasn't considered that maybe sometime down the road women would want to try. And then when women did actually start trying to qualify they realized if they tried to change the rules that they'd be facing a major PR hit. When the LPGA was formed they wanted their own league and they DID consider that maybe men would try to do that.

My point was she qualified for the tournament shes in, why should she not be allowed to play. Its not like she got a free pass like Annika did for the Colonial. I personally feel that the PGA is for the best GOLFERS in the world. If that happens to be a woman, then so be it. Also, the women hit from the men's tees in these tournaments. As for your quote about not going to win, the same thing can be said for many men in the tournaments. Each week, only a handful of men have a decent chance of winning, why would the rest of the players bother?

Getting back on topic of this newsotry...She stated that she has been living as female. nd that she has both genders, qualifying her as a Intersexed, or as you might more know the term, hermaphrodite. The part that gets me is "Upon medical examination, it was discovered he was a he". True, she may have a penis, but there are lots of hermaphrodites that have cervical-like openings with skin covering it and fully functional penises (no, this isn't some nasty pr0n I'm watching). I still believe she is entitled to play in the gender she feels she is.

reminds me of futurama - bender the robot getting an oil sex change lol "coilete"

For most parts, I agree with you...but that is not up to him/her to decide and start competing...there must be an official procedure to do this...else you will have 1000+ "wannabes" competing in events they shouldn't.

Because it's the only option the men have to make money. Wie has the option -- and does, but numerous times refuses to -- play in the LPGA tournament. You stated yourself that the men do not have this option: the LPGA has denied men the right from playing in their tournaments since it's conception. Do you honestly think that if men were able to play there that none would?

I have a hard time thinking that an official medical examiner missed something like that.

    • Oh, of course not. The real "victims" are the people who snipe kids in the head, have killed more journalist than all the worlds wars combined, do double tap strikes on medical personnel, claim history started on October 7th, have a $700 million dollar annual Hasbara budget and pay influencers $7k a post to spout exactly this kind of propaganda. How dare you question the most moral army in the world. Victimhood belongs to these genocidal freaks alone. Anyone who denies that is literally Hitler. If you're going to support a terrorist state, the least you could do is come up with better talking points.
    • Gears of War: E-Day brings 12-player co-op, smoother traversal mechanics, and more by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Right as the Xbox Games Showcase came to an end today, The Gears of War developer The Coalition took over to show off its next project: E-Day. This prequel project was announced back in 2024, but now we have a lot more details about its campaign, new gameplay mechanics, and even a release date. The studio says this is the first time it has managed to get the time to build the entire game in a new engine, as it had worked non-stop on new titles for years while porting classic code and assets. With Unreal Engine 5 now powering Gears of War: E-Day, The Coalition says it started completely anew, with all assets, animations, environments, and others being built from scratch. The campaign will take place across three days in the city of Kalona. The story will follow the events through the eyes of Bravo Squad. This is made up of the returning classic duo Marcus and Dom, as well as the new characters Mags Carter and Lucas Reyes. Watch the trailer below to see Marcus in action without his iconic armor and gear, just as the Locust invasion kicks off. The story will draw on classic Gears novels like Aspho Fields as well, with the studio even collaborating with author Karen Traviss. "That continuity is what makes the destruction land," says the studio. "In E-Day, you watch a living city torn apart—homes still lit, meals half-finished—while people abandon their cars and run for cover. Small details—a child’s toy, an uneaten dinner—make the loss real as everyday places collapse under the Locust assault." The movement system is getting a big overhaul here. Players will be able to slide while running, jump across gaps, climb head-height covers, and even crawl on the ground to avoid fire from enemies. As for the returning horde mode, The Coalition teased a new 12-player PvE mode. This will involve three squads of Gears going up against the incoming Locusts in larger city maps than usual. The studio says that it is going to reimagine the classic formula just as co-op games are going through a resurgence. Multiplayer was touched on today too, where Versus is coming back touting four versus four Gears PVP action set across Kalona maps. More details about multiplayer will be revealed later. Open beta weekends are kicking off this August for fans wanting to jump in early too. Gears of War: E-Day is releasing on Xbox Series X|S and PC on October 6 with pre-orders available now. It will also be a part of Xbox Game Pass on day one. Microsoft has confirmed this as an Xbox platform exclusive, as there are no plans to bring it to PlayStation or Switch.
    • Microsoft announces the return of Xbox exclusives with Gears of War and Clockwork Revolution by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Microsoft had plenty of announcements to make today at the Xbox Games Showcase celebrating 25 years of the gaming brand. Now, under the leadership of the new Xbox CEO Asha Sharma, Xbox games are going back to their original release methods. She appeared in the livestream itself to announce the return of Xbox console exclusives. This means two major upcoming games from first-party studios won't be coming to PlayStation or Nintendo consoles: Gears of War: E-Day from The Coalition and Clockwork Revolution from InExile. Both titles will only be coming out on Xbox Series X|S consoles and Windows PCs, ditching any plans they had for PlayStation. "These are not timed exclusives," confirmed Microsoft. "We’re committed to investing in and growing XBOX both on console and beyond." The company confirmed that any already announced Xbox titles for PlayStation, under previous leadership, will continue to arrive for the rival platform. This means games like the new Halo remake, Forza Horizon 6, Fable, and State of Decay 3 will still be available on PlayStation, either at launch or later. It sounds like any new projects announced by the company will avoid other consoles in the same way. Microsoft first opened the floodgates by bringing titles like Sea of Thieves, Grounded, Hi-Fi Rush, and Pentiment to PlayStation and Nintendo consoles back in 2024. Since then, almost every new game release from Xbox Game Studios has arrived for rival consoles alongside Xbox and PC. This decision follows Sony's plans to ditch its own multiplatform releases too. Outside of multiplatform live service titles, the PlayStation maker is even abandoning its PC porting endeavors that started years ago.
    • I'm missing the beginning part of this equation... but for the sake of the convo, you don't get to take a $250(?) set of normally priced RAM, jack it up to over $500/600/800 just because of a market shift, then lower it back down to more than what it was originally and call that a "sale". Not the author of this post... the manufacturer/seller.
