LDN. Still red.

@BobbySkinner_ As a giant fan that goes to Pitt, I was very excited for Sauls when we signed him. He was great for us in college and was as consistent as I’ve seen a college kicker be, but unfortunately it seems like he’s second best out the kickers we have. Hopefully he finds a spot somewhere

[Jack 🇵🇸 @JackLoftus27]

@kmandem01 @Silhouett3Yrome @IanM1st Yes he missed chances but all the best strikers have games like that. What matters is how dangerous he was and how many chances he created for himself. We already know he can finish he had 22 goals last year

BREAKING NEWS: “You don’t hate Aaron Rodgers enough”

[Jack 🇵🇸 @JackLoftus27]

@fruitsnacks67 @djoxlo @BigPapaGeoffer @Timcan2001 @TheSalajin In 2016 Draymond had his best year offensively by far so maybe you can argue he was a borderline superstar, but at the end of the day he is an amazing ceiling raiser but doesn't raise your floor much at all. We have seen enough of what draymond looks like when the team is bad.

@lb3nnyz @sodom207 @elenaknowsball Even if it’s just a joke it’s just kinda lame, childish, and insensitive. It’s definitely a bit disappointing that someone who is non binary and has experienced discrimination because of that doesn’t understand this at their big age.

[Jack 🇵🇸 @JackLoftus27]

@lb3nnyz @sodom207 @elenaknowsball The issue with Uzi saying no homo has nothing with their sexual orientation. It’s just that feeling the need to constantly clarify that you are indeed not gay is inherently homophobic.

@shadadzaii @dreeezabz I like Lyes and I think that response is pretty normal considering the info he had at the time, but I do think it is a bit odd to delete everything you’ve said about a situation as soon as it is shown that you were wrong. I understand deleting the video but why the replies

[Jack 🇵🇸 @JackLoftus27]

@jpphelan1 @IrishPropaganda Arteta said he has big hopes for him and a lot of people think he will get his debut with the first team this season. Obviously we’ll see how he kicks on but he could definitely turn into something.

I am a world champion athlete who has published peer reviewed research in this field and I say it is clear that there is male-performance advantage over females. 

Men on average are stronger than women due to the relative % of muscle vs. fat, and to power that extra muscle they have more oxygenating cells (haemoglobin) in the blood... ALL of which are controlled by hormones, they are not set at puberty. No-one disputes this.

What is less clear is what happens after cross-sex hormone therapy, in trans women in particular.

Trans women who compete in female sports are on gender-affirming hormone therapy (GAHT) — typically oestrogen plus medications to lower testosterone. This therapy leads to measurable changes in body composition and function.

What the evidence says about performance?

After 2 years of GAHT, trans women show little to no advantage over cis women in tests like running 1.5 miles or number of sit-ups.

By 1–3 years on GAHT, many performance differences in studied metrics narrow substantially or disappear.

However, in strength tests (e.g. push-ups, grip strength), some small residual advantage may persist.

In contrast, some areas suggest worse performance: lung function, efficiency of breathing, and fitness (Braga et al., Saitong et al., and Alvares et al.) when normalised to body size.

In one study of national-level volleyball players, athletic trans women performed similarly to cis women (but below cis men) across multiple physical metrics.

In a UK study, athletic trans women (on hormones for 4–6 years) had worse performance in lung function, jump height, and relative VO₂ max (a measure of fitness) than cis women, but absolute grip strength was higher.

The most comprehensive synthesis to date, a 2026 systematic review and meta-analysis (Sieczkowska et al., British Journal of Sports Medicine) of 52 studies and 6,485 participants, found that trans women on 1–3 years of GAHT had upper-body strength, lower-body strength and relative VO₂ max comparable to cis women, despite higher absolute lean mass. The authors concluded the evidence does not support theories of inherent athletic advantage for trans women over cis women.

A 2025 longitudinal study (Harper et al., European Journal of Sport Science) tracked 9 trans women runners and 1 trans woman swimmer before and after starting GAHT. Race times slowed by around 15% in runners (with bigger decrements in longer-distance events) and around 5% in the swimmer. After adjusting for training volume, the runners’ age-graded performance scores did not differ pre- versus post-GAHT, meaning they were roughly as competitive in the women’s category as they had previously been in the men’s category. This is the first study to use both retrospective and prospective data on the same trans women athletes before and after GAHT.

In short: any advantage that exists is likely to be small, context-specific, and not universal.

Despite frequent public talk, there is no robust empirical evidence that trans women increase injury risk to cisgender women in sport.

Most policies that cite safety are based on theoretical models (assuming trans women are the same as cis men, and comparing cis men to cis women), not on observed injury data.

What rules currently exist

Many sporting bodies have eligibility policies. These often require:

Maintaining testosterone levels below a threshold (e.g. < 5 nmol/L) for a set duration (e.g. 24 months).

Submission of performance data (times, strength metrics, prior competition data).

Some sports, however, have banned trans women entirely — but these bans tend to lack scientific justification, and they ignore the diversity among trans women in body size, physiology, training history, etc.

In summary

Fairness and inclusion can coexist. With thoughtful, evidence-based policies, both can be achieved without resorting to blanket bans.

@krrafth @olii_avfc @cfcyusxf Let’s be real it’s 2026. No player is picking Chelsea over Arsenal. There is a reason Chelsea had to pay 117 million for someone of Morgan Rogers’s quality.

@13eechamFR Your hunger and drive to try and build something special in this basketball media space is really admirable, but I hope you don’t forget that life is meant to be enjoyed. (No pun intended) So don’t hesitate to take a break if you’re struggling and need one. All love bro.

@lainey15398991 @CHRlSTITTIES It’s also fair to say the reason women feel the need to shave the hair on their body is because of patriarchal conditioning but that doesn’t mean you’re a bad person for still wanting to shave your armpits. Do what makes you feel good but examine why it makes you feel confident.

[Jack 🇵🇸 @JackLoftus27]

@DougieCritchley I can’t lie I have gotten a lot of enjoyment from this Sunderland resurgence. It’s cool to see one of the biggest clubs in the England start to reclaim its former glory. It’s good that the club understands what Europe will demand out of these players and is planning accordingly.

[Jack 🇵🇸 @JackLoftus27]

@kptalksfooty I don’t think we’re doing this because we think of him as depth signing. They see him as a player that can far exceed his price tag. I think they only make this signing if they think he can compete for the starting job.

[Jack 🇵🇸 @JackLoftus27]

@PatrickBVS I would assume we use him like we do Havertz. Great arial threat that is technically sound enough to drop in and link up play and is a killer finisher. He has good movement around the box as well. He can also rotate out left if we need an arial presence to play over the press.
