"On Thursday, the U.S. Education Department announced a proposed change to Title IX, which prohibits sex-based discrimination in federally funded education programs. The proposal would make it illegal for schools to broadly ban transgender students from sports teams that align with their gender identity, rather than their assigned sex at birth.

The department says the move comes after two years of outreach to stakeholders across the country, and the changes still give schools some flexibility to ban transgender athletes depending on age and sport." NPR News

I oppose transgenders competing against athletes born of the opposite sex. Humans are born with either XX or XY chromosomes, except in rare instances, and we can't change our genetic make up. Males have an advantage physically. No one can deny that a transgender born male will have an advantage competing against athletes born females. Those are facts. That should be the end of the debate. And who will decide what "some flexibility" by schools actually means?

Biden and the liberals are wrong on this issue. They are wrong because of the science, not because of a bias, prejudice, or emotional judgement.

Never thought I would see the day that Pubs and Dems would agree on something.....

going to 8 man football. is it that bad to go 8 man? Not sure what their numbers were like.

reduce the number of games they play. I get that more games mean more revenue, but to have players not be able to play back to back to games because they need to rest is ridiculous. Some cases, like coming off of injuries, I can see the point. Reducing the games would also mean that each game would mean that much more and would have to play harder. I would think this would make for better TV ratings!

Making tracks to great destinations

Note from John Denton: “Over the last 10 years (2014-23), rookie starting pitchers making their MLB debuts are 5-4 with a 3.15 ERA in 17 starts vs. the Cardinals, per MLB Stats & Research.”

Denton continued, writing that the Cardinals’ struggles vs. rookie starters making their MLB debuts “runs counter to the rest of the league. Over the last 5 years, rookie starters debuting are a forgettable 37-63 with a 4.82 in 170 starts. Over the last 10 years, they are 96-143 with a 4.85 ERA in 371 starts.”

When everyone is healthy, they don’t have a starting pitcher who would be higher than a number 4 starter on the Mets, Braves or Phillies. Talk me out of that.

Because of course, it is Florida.

Trump deplaned and hopped into a white Ford Bronco.

Coverage begins at 11 AM sharp!

Several years ago, my dad said to me that he thought a winless season was rarer than a state championship. Missouri just crowned six state champions, but did any team in the state finish the season with zero wins?

As I looked at the final state ranking in class 2 basketball I noticed that Lincoln is listed as a SWMO school (by the 'highlighting).

How is a team north and east of Adrian considered SWMO?

Mullet?
Cole Camp is as well and they are farther north. Interesting.


Just noticed Rich Hill got votes. Not highlighted. How in the world is Cole Camp SWMO and RH isn't?

We won’t really learn the specifics regarding Trump’s indictment until he shows up to be arraigned Tuesday, but it is supposed to be 30+ counts including business fraud. It’s legally not the same as Clinton.

Trump’s lawyer has already been imprisoned for some of the counts when Trump was still president by Trump’s DOJ. He was acting at Trump’s behest. Trump couldn’t be charged while he was president because of DOJ/Barr’s “policy”.
