We used to tell ourselves that real athletes do it for free, and that paid athletes could never compete against amateurs, since amateurs actually tried to win.
We were not wrong.
I would love to see white men get involved in community sports again, the way baseball used to be, before people got paid to do it.
It makes sense. Anyone who looks weak or attractive would just get raped/murdered. Of course that doesn't stop them, but I suppose it makes you less likely to get hit if they can't tell you're a woman at first glance.

Not that it has anything to do with this post. But in high school I ran a 1:57-something 800m, which was my best time ever. And in that race I didn’t even rank top three.
It’s insane to me that at the Olympic level, the women’s 800m field is running 1:56 to 2:00;, meanwhile pick some random 16 year old at a state track meet —> would still Smoke them.
