Do they have the guts to move the Trump Transphobe Games?

USA Today reports today that the World Anti-Drug Association wants to ban Donald Trump and several major US officials from the Trump Transphobe Games in Los Angeles.  (And possibly the Trump Cup this summer.)

Just before the Transphobe Winter Games, the Trump administration pulled all dues money from WADA with respect to the United States.

Though this battle between WADA and the US does encompass both parties, I think I can safely say that this is a defense of the drug-ladened athlete culture in the United States, up to and including Cocaine Jr.'s (Trump's son Donald Jr.) support of the Enhanced Games in Las Vegas later this year, where cash prizes will be awarded to mostly-drugged athletes.

(I have to say MOSTLY-drugged because there IS, actually, at least one drug-free swimmer who wants to try his luck against the steroid freaks.) 

We can only hope this is a first move to remove the Trump Transphobe Games from Los Angeles and the Trump Cup from the United States and Mexico (let Canada host the whole thing if it can!)...

Why we can't just stick to sprots, Part II...

The rest of the political-registration survey from earlier was found by our friends at Close Call Sports and they published the findings on their Discord.  They finally also allowed me to find the link to the article with all of the information.

None of what at least the charts they publicized should be of any degree of surprise... 

A side chart on the NFL first...

Defense usually scales Democratic (by well over 30 points), offense and special teams Republican.

And don't fall for VoteHub's trying to sugar-coat it:  Quarterbacks skew Republican by about 13 points.

But the bigger lack of surprise is in the general findings:

  • One of the things I really felt would start happening is the abolition of the NBA and WNBA, in the favor of MAGA League Baseball and the NHL.
  • MLB is the most Republican-skewing of the major sports, with over 53% of those found registered Republican, only 7.8% Democrat. 
  • And I don't believe your rant at all, Firefox Pocket or SB Nation or whoever it was:  The NHL has been actively trying to position itself as The Winter Sport under Trump.
  • The NHL has the smallest Democratic registration of all the sports at less then 6%.  Republican?  Almost 44%.
  • I don't believe for a second that US MAGA celebration with the FBI director was either against what you believe in or a bad thing for the league.  It probably came at Bettman's direction!
  • The reason I think the NBA and WNBA are doomed if Trump ever gets around to being the President they REALLY voted for?  NBA:  42.9% Democrat, 10% Republican.
  • WNBA:  2.3% Republican.  13 teams in the WNBA, assume 15 roster spots (as in the NBA) per team.  That would mean, if a representative sample were found, precisely FOUR Republican players in the WNBA.
  • Democrat?  67.5%.  Or about a hundred and forty.

Oh boy...

On a day where there are far more important things than sports, and I might want to see if I can finally finish a series of posts for another blog, aimed at these stupid MAGA fucks, comes this story from Los Angeles:

On Saturday, Chad Baker-Mazara, ostensibly a USC basketball player, was injured in a late-season game.  After playing about three minutes of the second half, it is now apparent that Baker-Mazara is, somehow and for some reason, done with the Trojan program.

Baker-Mazara was apparently talking with a woman for much of the second half of the game.  Baker-Mazara was one of the leading scorers on the USC team.

He was an NIL transfer from Auburn.  USC was apparently his fourth school.  According to current reports, he's 26.

Current trolling meme (at least that's what's being alleged) is that Baker-Mazara is actually 32 with four children. 

But let's separate fact from (apparent) fiction:  He dipped on the USC program (or the USC program dipped on him) at some point Saturday.  The reasons do not appear non-suspicious:  SOMETHING went down.

Regardless of whether this apparent satire/meme account who's gotten a hold of this is trolling or not, one thing is for absolute certain:  Someone found out SOMETHING.
