High School Boy Wins All-State Honors In Girls Track And Field

Godwin's law (or Godwin's rule of Nazi analogies) is an Internet adage asserting that "As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazism or Hitler approaches 1"—​​that is, if an online discussion (regardless of topic or scope) goes on long enough, sooner or later someone will compare someone or something to Hitler or Nazism.

Promulgated by American attorney and author Mike Godwin in 1990, Godwin's law originally referred specifically to Usenet newsgroup discussions. It is now applied to any threaded online discussion, such as Internet forums, chat rooms, and comment threads, as well as to speeches, articles, and other rhetoric where reductio ad Hitlerum occurs.

In 2012, "Godwin's law" became an entry in the third edition of the Oxford English Dictionary.

A tactic used by those who have lost the debate.

 

True. But I've seen the binary thinking folks posting in this thread. There are lots of them.

 

9 out of 10 are males too.

Correct, so there is greater disparity between race then there is gender in this instance.
Should we segregate these events by ethnicity?

 

No I didn't mention race, that's for racist liberals to do, but the fastest woman is also a black woman, so you destroyed your own point. My statement stands as absolutely true. Arguably the best women in tennis today are the Williams sisters, but they have been beaten by white women, but tennis is more about skill than physique.

 

No, this is merely ONE single sport. So are black people faster as a whole? Looks like it. That's probably racist to say even though it's in their favor. Do they do better in all sports? Not really. MMA, Tennis, Football, Hockey? No, but they can run like hell.

 

We are living in crazy times. The Patrirachy is needed more than ever.

 

Florence Griffiths-Joyners record women's 200 meters is 1.49 seconds slower than the 25th placed man.

I agree that many liberals use the race card, thankfully I am not a liberal or using the race card.
I am pointing out a fact that obliterated your argument, then you reiterated it, then said I destroyed my own point (which is false)

You used the fastest runner as the example to show that men are superior to women.
When it is pointed out that out of the 10 fastest people, women are represented but not a single other ethnicity is - I also noticed the blatant dodge and deflection.

After the evidence presented, do you believe these events should be segregated by ethnicity as (according to your prior means of "evidence of superiority") individuals with African descent have an advantage over their peers.

 

Actually there's not.

 

I'm open to the possibility, unlike these sexists who want to relegate women to a lesser division.

But you're forgetting the new norm in which any one of those bench players can simply declare himself "female." Under the current paradigm, the he/she gets to go be a superstar in the women's league. Under my proposed paradigm, he/she remains a bench warmer in the top-tier unless he/she is replaced by another player (male, female, doesn't matter) who outplays the he/she. It's the logical end to the tranny movement's direction. I just think we should skip the inevitable years of hooey it could take to get there - what with boys claiming to be girls so they can win a trophy and girls claiming to be boys so they can rationalize why no one wants to ask them out... Let's save ourselves a lot of trouble and group athletes the way they should be grouped: according to ability, not gender.

 

You believe Florence Griffith-Joyner is one of the fastest people ever?

Italian Pietro Paolo Mennea set a 200 meters record in 1979 that stood for 17 years, 1.62 sec faster than the world record for women (his times in the five different Olympic games obliterate Griffith-Joyners world record time) .

 

Looking at many sports; basketball, American football, football, sprinting they are extremely over-represented. Several of the conservative posters here have even acknowledged this fact in other threads when talking about affirmative action policies.

The argument so far has been women are inferior to men physically in some areas so they require their own version. Why is it being ignored that whites are physically inferior to people of African descent in some areas? Why shouldn't they have a chance to succeed? Have their own inferior versions of these sports?

 

Pushing and allowing are two different things. Also, the public is well aware of the dangers/risks associated with combat-oriented military career fields. I don't believe the same would hold true with something like the NFL, where some fans get into a hissy over a quarterback being tackled too hard. The viewership simply isn't ready... right or wrong.

 

Since you made a false claim, please back it up.
I'll even let you choose what often is, but it has to be more than 1.
And is saying acting like something actually saying they are that something?
If I said you are acting childish, is that calling you a child?
I need to understand the mental capacity I'm dealing with here.

Personal attacks and false claims are for childish people. But go ahead and give us your proof.

 

I believe the information I provided was about the 100 meter sprint.
For the record I do not believe events should have limitations placed on the competitors. No woman should be banned from playing a sport because of her gender, it's strange to me how many are calling this view sexist.

 

Yes, exactly! We don't have separate white basketball leagues or a "white NBA" so that the physically-inferior race can give their people a chance to play basketball. If the W in WNBA was for "white," people would be appalled! Why is it acceptable that it's exclusively for women???

 

There is nothing from our experiences as a human being, or in human history, to validate this claim - and you know it. You're grasping at straws to justify the unjustifiable.

Racial disparities are much smaller than gender. That's why. The argument of gender being a state of mind is idiotic.

 

Yeah but she's still smokin, right?

 

Then American football is a distraction from the real point: let athletes compete by ability, not gender, and quit trying to create special divisions just to make certain people groups feel more competitive. Are people for equality or not?

 

It isn't sexist. It's just senseless to ignore the physical gender differences in sport.
Males are bigger, stronger, faster and have and inherent advantage over women in whatever sport you can name. This isn't difficult to understand so I
don't see the point of your contention.It seems self defeating from the start.

I wonder if you would also allow fourteen year olds to compete against adults? The differences are the same and the results are the same....the smaller
opponent always loses and risks possible real injuries by going up against the adult.

 

I never made any claim of "evidence of superiority". Men are faster and stronger than women - that's my claim. Most quarterbacks are white, most running backs are black, but not all QBs are white and not all RBs are black.

 

Did you just infer that race is a state of mind?
If the argument is that women are inferior to men and thus need their own version of sport why is it being ignored that blacks are physically superior (especially in reguards to sheer speed) then their white counterparts? Why do we not segragete those events?

 

But hand-to-hand fighting is a special case. In boxing, wrestling, MMA, competitors are still grouped according to weight. You would not spar men who weigh 50 lbs more than you, but you would spar men who are in your weight bracket. As a black belt you could deal with that.
