I don’t see how you can come to this conclusion. He wouldn’t have commited suicide at that exact time, sure. But he may have at a later date due to exam pressure, or any other number of reasons. Or he may never have done as you suggested. It’s impossible to predict what would happen if there were undelying mental health issues.

If you apply this logic to tennis then it would seems that the coach should be given awards, not the player?

The issues are beyond just what people said to him, the documentary explains it, it was physical too, but you will have a random explanation for that too… To be honest, at the end of the day, no bully = no death, no matter what you say… If that kid was left alone to live his life he would be alive today no matter what way you like to twist…[Read more]

Yeah, but a horse could potentially perform all the tasks required of it without having a rider at all (at the time of the event, obviously it has to be trained still).

Wearing a hijab would limit your hearing and peripheral vision anyone who wears one would be handicaping themselves compared to other competitors.
Are you trying to claim that it doesn’t effect performance?
Proposing is a sign of male dominance?
What?

Social media sites allow you to block indivudual users without affecting your ability to continue to use the site normally.

This is true, but I was responding more the the title of the shared video, which claims the text mesage caused him to commit suicide.
Yes, that is exactly what I am saying. It is not a normal behaviour.

Gymnastics definitely requires an abnormal level of physical ability and skill, as does ice dancing.
I wouldn’t really call them sports though, as the winner is determine by a process that is too subjective for my liking (maybe competative art would be a better term, I don’t know).

So let assume that men’s tenis generates more revenue from advertising because more people watch it. To pay men and women the same you either have to pay women more than they earn, which wouldn’t happen because it’s operating at a loss. Or you pay the men less, where would you suggest the leftover money goes?

Sport is a context of physical ability and skill, that is inherantly masquline.

Not really Draculina as it’s an even playing field or should be… For example in the Champions League let’s say a team from Romania progresses past the group stages, they get paid the same amount as say Barcelona for progressing. UEFA don’t start getting into politics about how Barcelona are superior and should get more. Wimbledon could do the…[Read more]

Draculina I don’t think you can simply put it down to “a healthy person would have blocked the number and carried on with life”. You are talking about someone who has to attend school with this person, knows everyone they hang with, see’s them in a mall etc, you make it sound so easy… And so what if he was disturbed, that still made it ok for…[Read more]

The text message compeled him to do it?
I wish I lived in this magical fantasy universe that other people seem to sometimes.

Prize money should be equal to how many people watch the event, that’s where the money that is awarded comes from. If one gender or the other is unable to attract viewership then they are worth less (within the context of the sport) and should be paid accordingly.
No two people are equal
