Well. If the olympics are bowing to the freaks means I have no desire to watch anymore.

SEXIST DECISION IS SEXIST.

All people are equal. Women should shatter the glass ceiling and allow men who feel they are a woman to play on their teams. Time to stop that vagina-centric womens-only sports.

Do we have to corrupt even the Olympic Games? Is nothing sacred anymore? This is so disgusting!

One's sex is as biologically determined, and cannot be changed by manipulation of the body. You are as you were born, and that is forever. Period.

Why even have separate sports and events for men and women? Let women compete against men so they can finally get the equality they desire so badly.

Great now I can finally race Laser sailboats on the womens team.

Now anybody know how I can lose like 150 lbs so I can compete with the 5'1", 95 lb girls who dominate?

Sigh, another dream blown.

Trust me, any girl boxer could kick my a$$ without breaking a sweat.

And can the bigots please go someplace else with your hate filled comments. Thanks.
