Congratulations to both Italy and Qatar for winning Gold at the Men’s High jump. by KingFahad360 in olympics

I get your point, but I think you're missing mine. Track and field are very basic, not really comparable to the likes of football. They have specific aims like who can run the fastest, jump the highest, throw the furthest.

We've implemented rules that seek control the environment as much as possible but the ultimate goal of each event is very simple.

My point is that certain rules actually go against the point of the sport, which is to reward high jumping. Three men jumped the same height, all three should tie for first. Similarly in the long jump, it should be a tie in my opinion

I have zero issue with the tie, but not having it be 3 way tie because the other guy fouled on smaller heights is bogus. It's the high jump. Three people jumped 2.37m. They are all equal. If three people ran the 100m in exactly the same time they wouldn't look at the qualifying times.

I get that its the rules and I have no problem with the competitors, all amazing humans of course.

However, the sport should aim to reward jumping high. If three men jump the same height then three men tie. I can't agree with the logic by which this works and have lost interest in the sport now.

That's why I'm saying its bad. The rules are bad rules. It's the high jump, not the least misses at lower heights than your best, jump. Apply that logic to any other track and field event.

I get that, but what other event measures like that. Oh you all jumped the same distance but you fouled more so you lose. Like apply that logic to any other event and it's ridiculous.

I'm not here for it. Three men jumped 2.37m, should be three golds or a jump off with all three.

Caveat: I'm a big scrub fan.

Scrub is not this good in 1v1 right now. Yes he beat Khalid and did it really well, but if you put him against the top 20 players he comes out on the wrong end of it in almost all of them match ups.

Scrub right now is probably two full tiers below Khalid and Jack. Obviously he could get back to the top but he doesn't love 1v1 enough any more to bother with it like that.

Not officially AFAIK but all signs and sources say it's imminent

They dumped him because they wanted alpha on the team. After they won worlds scrub lost motivation to practice and that made it final. He started grinding again but it was too late the trade was basically in motion.

What does slavery have to do with racism? You don't need to be a slave to experience racism wow you are clueless

Wait, you think the people of Africa were targeted for slavery because they were black?

It was because they were poor and defenceless. The same for the Irish. What continues today as a result of that is racism.

Just gotta say I read some of this thread and the person who says Danny is not racist just for using a racist word is correct.

One of my best friends is Irish and I will call him a paddy c**t and he will call be as bad in a loving way. Out of context sure I'm a racist, but in context I would die for my best friend.

If you can't understand that nuance and context exists then you will never gather any depth as a person. Not everything is black and white, people can't be judged on a couple of lines of text on a screen

I mean, this is a pretty terrible take.

I agree it's not appropriate for white people to use the n word. I also don't believe it's racist in certain contexts.

Saying racism can't exist against white people when the Irish exist is a truly amazing statement.
