Jennifer Sey: 近年来女子体操运动员的体型发生了显著变化，这与训练强度、年龄以及审美标准的改变有关。过去，运动员被要求保持苗条，甚至抑制月经来保持体重，这导致了严重的健康问题和虐待行为。而现在，随着技能难度的提高，运动员需要更强的力量和体型，这使得她们的体型也发生了变化。此外，运动员的年龄也普遍增长，这使得她们更有能力保护自己，避免虐待。 Jimmy Dore: Jennifer Sey的经历揭示了体操运动中存在的系统性虐待问题，以及管理机构对运动员福祉的漠视。同时，他也讨论了在女子体育运动中允许变性男性参赛的公平性问题，认为这违背了客观事实，对女性运动员造成了不公平的竞争。

Shownotes Transcript

When she spoke out against COVID lockdowns, and specifically the extended school closings in her hometown of San Francisco, Levi’s executive Jennifer Sey says she was driven out of her job and eventually fled California for Colorado. There, she says, she realized that corporate America had no place for her, so she decided to launch her own athletic clothing line.   Jimmy and Ms. Sey discuss the uniformity of thought demanded by the corporate system and why she felt she had to strike out on her own. Jimmy and Sey, a former top ranked gymast, open the conversation by discussing the dramatic change that has come over female gymnasts’ physiques in the past 50 years.   Plus featuring segments on the Justice Department’s recent successful antitrust lawsuit against Google and the Olympics controversy over Algerian boxer Imane Khelif.   Also featuring Stef Zamorano and Mike MacRae. Plus a phone call from Joe Biden and Chuck Schumer!
