He was only cheating a little bit
Meanwhile the “activists” work hard at messing up Sharron Davies’s life:
Olympian Sharron Davies said activists call her children’s school and abuse her kids over her views on trans women’s participation in sport.
The Olympic swimmer, former Gladiator and sports commentator, who attended 12 consecutive Olympic Games, was vilified after speaking out against biological males competing in women’s sport.
She also said she has not received enough support from fellow athletes who are too scared to speak up and lose “revenue”.
Ms Davies, 60, told the Off Air podcast she is inundated by trolls who try to stop her “debating and presenting the science”.
She said “Activists [ring] every single job I have, ringing every single charity, ringing my children’s schools, abusing my kids, calling me every name under the sun.”
So progressive, right? The most progressive social justice movement ever, right?
“It feels like it is totally and utterly a men’s rights movement. Historically, women get hit over the head with this ‘be kind’ slogan. Yet if you turn around to men and you said, ‘Well, let’s be kind to Lance Armstrong. He was only cheating a little bit – it’s not going to matter. He’s only got a one per cent advantage on us – let him carry on’.
“They would just laugh in your face.”
There certainly doesn’t seem to be any current flourishing social justice movement to defend Lance Armstrong’s cheating. I wonder why that might be.
Although Mr Armstrong did play a pretty big role in this year’s Tour de France commentary. I found it quite depressing to listen to him talk about “race strategy” when his big strategy was to cheat.
