Ah, yes, The Villages: Florida’s Most Tolerant Home Town.

So much hate…

Pretty soon I will be barefoot

Get over yourself and stop trying to live in the 50's. The world and society has changed for the better. Everyone can't and should look and think like you!

"Woke" companies? Stop parroting what you hear/watch on Noise cable tv networks. Don't you have an original thought in your mind!

If you don't care that real women now have to compete against against men and they were born and are men you are part of the problem. It is unfair and wrong in every sense.

Why is a disagreement over a fundamental fact that biological males and females are different make us haters?

The discussion in this thread seems to be coming from several different angles including a call to cancel a company and an outright threat against someone who is different. Regrettably (though not unexpectedly) some of the discussion is most definitely intolerant and hateful.

So you're fearful of transgender people. What did they ever do to you?

May you be blessed with a transgender grandchild.

Your money is "support". If you give money to support Adidas, you support transgender competition. I really iS that simple. A free county? Of course. But do you really want men competing as women?

Since I first read this thread, I've seen the new commercial at least 1/2 dozen times...

I have a mute button for just such occasions...

Is it a problem when a woman sporting a ***** uses the men's room with you? And if it s why are you looking?

I wish more of the bigots had profile photos like you. At least I know one person to avoid when I see them. For the others I'll just look for the knives and pitchforks.

Your premise in false. I buy Adidas sneakers and golf shoes because they fit me well...

Same with Brooks running shoes.

I find Nike shoes to be tighter in the toe box, aggravating my Morton's Neuroma...

I do not support Lia Thomas, nor do I support Fallon Fox competing against biological women...

Unlike some, I can separate the issues...

WOW! Nice illogical jump you made there...


P.S. Where's your profile pic?
