Just enjoying the 2019 sportbike version of the Le Mans 24h. I've been writing about it on <#435577309953785856>, such a grueling event.

Cool

i was never much of a petrolhead

did you ever go to the manx tt?

No, but I've followed it a bunch of times thanks to MANX RADIO TT and other stuff.

BTW, don't confuse the 2 events:
· Isle of Man TT = the important one
· Manx GP = the one for rookies, low-level amateurs and old folks

For me, motorsports (and other sports too) are just like TV shows... except the plotlines can go crazy at any point. No screenwriter can write some of the shit I've seen during the past 20 years.

agree, druiz

i was a huge rugby fan, but they're getting into loads of sjw crap now

thomas, both of them are 5-10 mins long

i can premiere them if you want

the tt is nuts

the isle of man's population swells to 4 times its size during that week

i'm well aware 😉

In motorsports the only SJW-friendly shit is the fact that women in motorsports get sponsorships even if they underperform. In auto racing women should be able to go as fast as men but in motorbikes it's fucking ridiculous, the lack of physical prowess is an issue and journos are forced to forget about it or else they get reprimanded.

i have heard that

but you have to deny reality for muh equality

For example, in this 24h race there is an all-female team. 2 riders are actual professionals, 1 isn't... and they qualified like 35th, deep among people with actual monday-to-friday jobs.

I remember the case of Jennifer Tinmouth in the BSB. Bitch was with a fully-factory CBR1000RR and was finishing almost dead-last. Her teammate was in like the top5 regularly.

I will premiere then

but plz leave a comment

you have the case in soccer where international women's teams get pummeled by school kids

and now they want mixed rugby teams

what could possibly go wrong?

i heard about some female powerlifter who played football with men

but she weighed like 300lb+

I watch women's competitions from time to time... when they're just weaker but have very similar skills. Watching women's road cycling is freaking hilarious because they seem to be unable to apply the common team tactics men apply.

I don't mind watching women compete in shit like biathlon, XC skiing, alpine skiing, ice tube sports and a bunch more... but watching them in action sports, cycling and some more is straight-up hilarious.

Unpaid guys can do the same tricks that can give you an Olympic gold medal in freestyle skiing.

lol

women's biathlon isn't too bad

but when they complain about getting paid less than men for soccer, it's just insane

Recently, Spain had the most-attended women's soccer club match of all time. Cool, right? Except they used several tricks to achieve it.

Tickets were all $10, kids under 12 got in for free. Members of the club, including ones that aren't season ticket holders, could get 2 tickets for free.

Atlético de Madrid probably lost thousands and thousands of dollars with that very stupid publicity stunt.

Even then they only achieved to fill the stadium to 90% of its capacity.

lol

that's hilarious

of course you'd have to rifle through the back pages of the media to find that

the headlines probably praised this tremendous success
