Recruiting forum off topic thread (no politics, covid, or hot button issues)

Im not saying this is necessarily true of Clay Travis but its a little disconcerting that people think you can't hate women if you have a wife.

I think he more loves money than he hates anything in particular. He knows which buttons to push and has built himself a profitable little empire throwing bombs.

I don’t understand the hatred for clay travis. I like him. Besides the Vandy part. Although, he has had many public disputes with the university over some of their lib crap.

This is true and it’s nothing political or sexist. It’s basic biology

Back in the day a I played a game of pickup basketball against who was for a short time the career 3 point leader in women’s big 12 basketball. She was a REALLY good basketball player. I’m NOT good at basketball and I won easily. She couldn’t really get a shot off if I didn’t want her to. Again, it’s not because I’m good at basketball. And this isn’t a shot at her or slighting her. She was great. It’s because men and women are built different. We are different. Women are better at certain things than men. The things God designed them to be better at. Sports isn’t one of those things

I do CrossFit comptetions, in the 65+ age group our men’s weights will be equal to or heavier than the women’s weight in the 18-45 age group. So a 65yo male is as strong or stronger than a woman 20-40 years younger. It’s not rocket science, men and women are built different, as God designed them.

He's a Commodore so...

Isn't he a Vol also? I'm a Vol and a hog unfortunately so I'm in the same boat, but unlike Travis I actively cheer against my step-Alma Mater.

But we should also remember, one could make a similar argument based on ethnicity...

No, his education is from George Washington U and Vandy.

It’s a fine time to tell us that today of all days…. Smh

Fair point haha. Because I live here I can't stand it when they have success, everyone is so obnoxious about it. I like Pittman a lot, but I just can't handle all these hogs fans having success.

Interesting, I guess he's a Vol fan from growing up in TN.

Well put!

His grandfather played for Neyland.

And slaveowners respected and loved their slaves, didn't y'know?

Natural selection advantages. What makes one "fit" in certain environments is entirely different in other environments. Also effects the development of governments. What works well in equatorial climates (skin color, body type, culture, government) may not work at all further north. Over time folks change to survive.

Equal but not the same.

Was the local coffee shop you mentioned the other day Onyx?

 

[Volator]

His grandfather played for Neyland.

He also wrote “On Rocky Top front row seat to the end of an era” about the 2008 Vol football season where he had inside access.

That’s apples and oranges, but When is the last time you saw a group of white men marching on Capitol Hill crying for equality because as a general rule of thumb black men can jump higher?

White men do ok in powerlifting. Baseball. Soccer. On the OL. Cycling…. I can go on

Black men having more high twitch muscle fiber isn’t the same realm of physical dominance of men vs women.

I’m not slighting women. They are just different than men, and that’s ok.

 

[Go Fight Win]

God bless I don’t give a **** about clay Travis we have a baseball game we need to win today can we pivot

Yep. 5 minutes from my house.

 

[chavisut]

Noice.

 

[knoxvol52]

Do you Uber or walk to the coffee shop

 

[Jackcrevol]

Also, you're starting to worry me bud. I see it with some of my outside VN friends too. Politics is taking over their lives to the point that it is them (both sides). I don't want to see you go that way either. Remember life is bigger than politics.

politics?!? i said the top 1% of female pro athletes would mop the floor with male radio/podcast listeners. That's common sense.

 

[jave36]

Haha it's actually a small-ish town, so 5 minutes equals 5 miles. We don't have reliable Uber here, so I drive.

Sums him up perfectly. Whatever viewpoint he is expressing is 100% for clicks and personal profits. He may very well not personally believe in a lot of stuff he's saying. He'll ride whatever wave keeps his name out there and I think those that used to keep track of Outkick when he started know how obvious it is. He figured out that if you tilt hard to one side politically, it will gain you a loyal following. A loyal following equals $$$.

I'm talking 60% of the world's population...billions and billions... throughtout SE and rest of Asia. Hardly to be seen in the NBA, NFL, top soccer leagues.

It's ok. It is what it is. But it is reality in the NBA. There are statistical differences men v women, but also among female ethnicities v other female ethnicities and male ethnicities v other male ethnicities.
