Breaks my heart because I own at least 10 pairs of Adidas, but we need to send a message to Adidas, their official apparel sponsor, and Bank of America, their presenting sponsor that we will boycott their brands for not protecting female sports.
If they lost even a fraction of their banking customers, my guess is they would reverse course on their “presentor status” quite quickly. I have never known a bank to not care about their public image. Call a boycott and see what happens.
Boycott? Now you're talking. Shut off your televisions. If you happen to be watching the News and anything comes on about the Marathon shut that off too and don't turn that station back on. Don't let yourselves watch this perversion that steals women's rights. Boycott all of the sponsors and give them no quarter. Women deserve better than this bullshit!
The power is women participating. It is probably too much to ask that the women do not run. How about they all delay their start by 30 minutes and make the cheater win look ridiculous?
My suggestion would work- all subtract 30 minutes from their time and volunteers provide a new ribbon to cross. Our esteem media would have to report 😂
All one needs to do is look at the finishing times of past races:
Had any of the 30 + men, who finished the race before the fastest female, claimed a “female” identity, they would have won the Women’s category.
Perhaps this is what needs to happen; in an international marathon, 15 of the top 20 male runners should sign up for the “Women’s” race — maybe then we could put this ridiculous issue to bed.
Women and girls are not an identity.
There is no “non-binary” sex and your “gender identity” isn’t relevant to athletics (or any other realm).
Thank you Jen for posting about the Nike-funded study associated with blocking puberty in kids. Hoping it causes more journalists to report on the story. If anyone has any questions on the study details (collaborators, locations, protocol, etc.), please send them my way. Been investigating this study and the researchers involved up close here in Oregon over the past year.
Your peace talks about how Adidas and Bank of America are supporting men competing in the women’s category. Is it more effective to go after multiple companies at once or to focus on one company at a time?
In the case of Bud Light, it was just a single company. I know that Robby Starbuck has been working to get companies to drop their DEI programs. Is he doing it one company at a time or multiple companies at a time?
I think picking Adidas, as it sell shoes used by athletes, is a good place to start. Imagine if we could get all women competitors to vocally refuse to wear Adidas shoes and if we could get like-minded groups who are pro-women anti-trans in sports to also single out Adidas.
Could combined efforts targeting one organization, be more effective?
your voice is truth and light in these dark times. erasing women and men is rebellion against God and His creation. Whom He deemed good and perfect when He created us. “Male and Female He created them.”
Suising must have had a faster qualifying time? According to Boston Athletic Association: being only 6:50 faster than the qualifying time would get you rejected. Their statement: "Entries in all age groups were accepted through and including those who ran 6 minutes and 51 seconds (6:51) or faster than their respective qualifying standard." The posted time would not get in according to BAA's public statements.
My thought is that the photo is not for the 2025 race. 2023 and 2022 had 0:00 additional cut-off below the official qualifier (as far as my research goes), so maybe it was from one of those years. It’s a good question that caused me to investigate.
Can someone please send me the link for an on-line sports betting company that will allow me to place a bet on which sex will win the “non-binary” category?
I'll tell ya, the Bud Light program featuring Dylan, drove me away from Anheuser-Busch...
And all affiliated brands owned by A-B.
And I will never buy their product.
I don't buy anything from Adidas, but they as well, should be boycotted.
Wallet choices do make a difference...

Bank of America is beyond Woke. Nothing will penetrate Bank of America Corporate.
If they lost even a fraction of their banking customers, my guess is they would reverse course on their “presentor status” quite quickly. I have never known a bank to not care about their public image. Call a boycott and see what happens.
They would blame the customers.
Questionable choice of verb in that last sentence…
It was a Hard Choice.

That may work, but at the expense of the well trained women who may have a chance against a loser who is "identified".
I cannot wrap my head around men that lose, figure they can invade a space where they may have a biological advantage.
A form of narcissism?
There is no way to mind read an infected mind.
My suggestion would work- all subtract 30 minutes from their time and volunteers provide a new ribbon to cross. Our esteem media would have to report 😂
I'm sure they would find a way to spin it to make these women less than they are.
Well, it is Boston, Jenn. Land of Michelle Wu. Blah, blah, blah.
In college I tried to qualify for Boston and came up about 30 minutes short. I would have qualified in the “non binary” category. 🤡
It’s a little too telling that the “non binary” qualifying time is the same as the women’s time.
Nice of the Boston Marathon to accommodate men who can’t qualify but presently lack the nerve to fully pretend to be women.

So telling. Non-binary division exists but they don’t want that—they want to invade our spaces.

I wish women would 100 percent boycott
I thought this was now not legal in america
He should be made to run alone but the liberal women up there are too scared of social ostrazation by men.
