SPORTS ! ACCORDING TO JON RAPPAPORT
Enjoy
If you know nothing about sports, here’s a major clue
They’re one of the last meritocracies on Earth.
You win or you lose. Straight up. Right now.
The players know this. So do most of the fans.
The players work their asses off, for years, for a chance to rise to the top. You can’t fake that.
Of course, now we have liberal women and their pussified male slaves trying to eat away at sports and turn them into, I don’t know, charity events and social media politics.
For example, Novak Djokovic, the greatest men’s tennis player in history, recently won the US Open. But media panty sniffers and trophy soccer moms broke out their usual brand of bullshit:
“Well, Novak has won 24 major grand-slam tournaments. That ties him with Margaret Court. He’ll try to outshine her…”
Yeah. Sure.
Blindfolded, playing left-handed, sitting in a wheelchair, Novak would beat Margaret Court in straight sets.
Years ago, on a practice court, Serena Williams played a fun match against one of the lower ranked guys on the men’s tour, and he wiped her out. He let up on her and still won in a cake walk.
After which, Serena said: the men’s and women’s game are TWO DIFFERENT SPORTS. You can’t compare them.
She knows.
You could take the hundredth ranked man on the tennis circuit, put lipstick on him, a dress, and a wig, and call him Mary, and he’d decimate every woman on the woman’s tour.
Knowing this, the women’s tour honchos don’t try it.
They do in other sports. Like swimming. A petty fool named William Thomas changed his name to Lia, kept his cock and balls, and magically went from losing in the pool against men to winning against women. No surprise there.
But hordes of celebratory liberal psychotics used the magic word “transgender” and declared it a moral victory.
It’s an erosion of meritocracy. Which is the true objective. Because liberals can’t stand straight up winning and losing in a fair arena.
They want everybody to win—defining everybody as themselves.
The suburban version of this is participation trophies. Given to kids who know full well they lost. You want to fuck with young minds? That’s a productive avenue.
Nobody is ruined by losing. If they can come back tomorrow and try again…
Excellent commentary.
Heartiest thanks for sharing this piece, Sir Fully.
“Participation trophies” … I never got one growing up in India. Made me accept, for life, that the only victories are the ones that you fight the toughest for. Hard earned. With sweat and sometimes blood too.

My progressive daughter, who never had a competitive bone in her body as a child, was taught some skills by her dad that enabled to her to find a spot on a top ranked women’s college team. My hope is that this experience will underscore some of these realities that so far seem to have eluded her, or at least most of the leftist crowd around her. Its clearly an avenue for understanding that goes way beyond sports. Women in particular need to walk through that door, somehow.
Lia Thomas closes that door for many.
I hear you pedro…Progressive Daughter !
I do admit I did the participation trophy thing when she was a 10 year old
Forgive me father
sheesh
