Are you watching the death rattle of all authentic sports?

So you are saying losing some of the best athlete talent in the world from playing in a tournament supposed to feature the worlds best players isn't a big deal?
WOW. I would of thought that would have quite a negative impact.
As far as your concerned. It doesnt matter who plays as long as they wear the jersey?
This is the death of true sports for sure.

Falou is arguably the best rugby player in the world.
He won't be at the world cup likely because of his opinion,
Others will sit the tournament out to most likely.
- No he isn't
- What others are sitting the tournament out?

Do you like Def Leppard mate? They have a great song and album around your thoughts.
The sky shall not fall and sport will have its "ups and downs" all the time.

@NightmareHitter if you are freaking out, take a look at Olympics and the massive political influence over history. They are still going rather well.
I hope that helps a little

Many would say on form Falou has been the best player in the world the last two seasons. Once again subjective but if he was a kiwi he would be in the All Blacks.
Claims many wallabies will sit out if he is allowed to play on. And rumours starting to circulate that a few pacific island players will sit out the world cup to if he is not allowed to play.

Are the olympics still going well though?
Women who are men winning 100m sprint titles cant be good?

They still seem pretty popular.
You are just getting your knickers in a twist over an isolated incident and think that one thing means that it will happen forever.

There's a big difference between being the best player in the world and being in the All Blacks. Even if he was in the All Blacks he wouldn't even be amongst the top 2 outside backs in the team (Rieko, Ben Smith). That's a long way from arguably the best player in the world.
-
Claims and rumours do not equal "most likely".

Ben Smith cough cough cough get off the meth.
Ben smith maybe 4 years ago. Falou way ahead of Smith.
Rieko is faster not better than Falou.
Falou all time best try scorer in super rugby.

This is great news in many ways.

Yeah. There are now cases of girls missing out on scholarships to men which sucks, but I can't see this getting much further - particularly at the top level. The biggest concern I have with transgender athletes isn't so much that women's sport will be ruined, its the inevitable backlash against trans people, most who have no interest in being the centre of attention, when the radical activists try and push it too far.

On the subject - it seems this is born out of the Wallabies fiasco. I'd say that probably has less to do with politics and more to do with the ever incompetent RA administration making an absolute dogs breakfast of everything they touch. I thought they handled it pretty well the first time round, it blew over and life went on, but this time they've made a mess of it and will probably pay the price for it in WC year which is a shame for all Aussie rugby fans.
