Flipping love Daley Thompson. Was my favourite male athlete when I was growing up. Now I love him even more!

Great news! Smile

Wasn’t he on We Are The Champions?

It so pisses me off.

Men deciding exactly what criteria is necessary in order to qualify as women in prison. Be it longevity, surgery, commitment.

And now deciding exactly what kind of criteria is required to beat women in sport.

No.

Just eff off.

Women's sport is for women.

Women arent some dumping ground for men who don't measure up to other men's standards.

Spotted this in the comments and it's a wonderfully stat and graph heavy read on the differences between females and males, and how they relate to sport.

My uncle would visit us and play the Daley Thompson game non stop until he went home. Good times.

I am so happy to see real stars of sports standing up for fairness.

I lurke on the FC threads but I'm so glad that sports people are coming out to declare their views. And Daley is fucking awesome.

Thanks Daley you wonderful man.

Freespeecher · 02/03/2019 23:21

Makes sense. He's taken a firm line on drugs cheats in the past (he doesn't think they're sorry for their actionsas much as sorry they got caught) so I'd imagine he sees this as obtaining an unfair advantage too.

BlackeyedGruesome · 02/03/2019 23:17

excellent.

HandsOffMyRights · 02/03/2019 23:12

Anybody else remember Daley Thompsons decathlon on the ZX Spectrum

I was obsessed with it!
My hero then and now.

Lumene · 02/03/2019 22:56

Hurrah!

Yes! Best/hardest game ever. The amount of frantic joystick wiggling required left you feeling like you'd actually been competing

SophoclesTheFox · 02/03/2019 22:39

And I want to see fewer people debating exactly how much they can artificially weaken a man in order to have him compete against women

YES!

So, so tired of men debating exactly where they ought to place the boot on women’s necks.

Arewehumanorbones · 02/03/2019 22:36

I totally remember that zx spectrum game!

And go Daley!

Datun · 02/03/2019 22:19

And I want to see fewer people debating exactly how much they can artificially weaken a man in order to have him compete against women.

Women's sport is for women. Women and girls need female role models. Girls need to be inspired by female sporting heroes.

Men forcing themselves into a weaker position in order to have an advantage does fuck all for girls.

Leave females alone.

Cheers Daley!

Nice one, Daley!

OlennasWimple · 02/03/2019 22:07

Yay!

CallingDannyBoy · 02/03/2019 22:04

And he quoted Spock - what a legend

Shiklah · 02/03/2019 22:03

I used to really fancy Daley when I was 9. Grin

UrsulaPandress · 02/03/2019 21:59

Wit woo.

rocketromano · 02/03/2019 21:55

Yeeessssssss! Love Daley, and he’s a legend in UK sport even now

AssassinatedBeauty · 02/03/2019 21:25

I wonder what he thinks about Caitlin Jenner...

Daley Thompson was also one of my hero's as a child, I'm so glad he's got his head round this.
