What part does gender really play in sports competition?Should there be a separate set of sports events for the LGBTQ community?Physical prowess is different for males and females. That's why they don't compete against one another physically. Intellectually? Well Spelling Bees are for all genders. But physically? Imagine women and men competing side by side for track or gymnastics? less

My own state has mercy rules for high school sports in the smaller classes to prevent blowouts. If a team is up by 35 or more at halftime then they just run the clock continuously for the rest of the game.

His opinion is that the winning team should just give all of its benchwarmers playtime at that point, which doesn’t always work. In the 2019 high school football season in South Dakota, Pierre beat Spearfish 103 to 0, and Pierre was down to playing its fourth string in the last quarter. People wanted the state government to step in and impose mercy rules on the larger c... less

I dunno. I think he will gamble on it. A cut of the cards..a roll of the dice..A shell game? less

Can't foresee it so there is no planning for it.Those who live in the current moment with short-terms plan fare a bit better. But not by much. Often when, what, and how we do today has very long-term consequences.Of course best is to live in the current moment and at the same time see ahead, consider the consequences of what they do and say today. So when tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow arrives they're prepared for it.Are most people only in the current moment...short termers or long termers? What are you? less
