bonus points if it's horse based (though that's just jousting)

oh right, that show, i remember hearing about it at one point, what a weird show.

it would certainly be an interesting one, though if i had to guess, the chicken airplane one is probably similar enough...

as long as you ignore the chicken and the airplane part lol.

i think we need a normie olympics, it'd be like the paralympics, but for people randomly selected from the average population.

rugby is the sport predisposed to head injuries correct?

That'll certainly make for an interesting game, regardless of who plays.

it reminds me of the recent volleyball injury case that went around. Trans student spiked a volley ball into the head of another student (not exactly intentionally) and it injured them quite significantly. Naturally her first reaction was to bitch and moan about it, but at the end of the day, nobody would want to be spiked in the face with a volleyball, from a man, women, child, anybody. That shit would at the very least concuss you, and might even kill you in all honesty.

the fact that the other student was trans is probably more inconsequential than you would think.

i mean, yeah as far as test goes, it's a PED, but at the end of the day, does it really matter significantly? I'm not sure.

Sometimes people have test so high it's literally impossible to measure, there's no real reason women can't also experience high test either, though high test is also arguably bad.

Sure they might be physically bigger, but the hard to answer question here is if it's any more significant than your average olympic athlete. With how prevalent trans people are (not very) and how common it would be for those trans people to be athletes (even less likely) i'm not sure it's a huge concern or even a significant consideration.

At the end of the day, you're already sampling for the most unusual, and weirdly built people, that's why it's the olympics. Excluding trans people from that seems like it might be a bit more redundant than necessary.

If it's a real concern, proper class weighting would help, that's a valid strategy, but another strategy is to simply have multiple medal winning categories.

hmm yes, looks like a cat to me, this is a certified boi!

this bear isn't in the forest though.

can confirm, that this is in fact a cat,

I vote we name it kat.

fluff, just to be confusing.
