>The practice of competitive sport itself can have homoerotic dimensions: the contact of the playing field, the spectacle of the partially clad body, the steamy environment of the showers and locker room...
>I argued that men's sport allows men and boys to exclude women and girls from their all-male environments, permits them to play with each other's bodies, to surround themselves with naked men in the showers and locker cooms, to enjoy that all-male contact, without suffering the vilification that usually comes from the open acknowledgment and pursuit of masculine erotic contact, the stigma of "being homosexual.
>I will argue that competitive sport... is embedded in the masculine colonizing will to conquer the space of an "other" while simultaneously protectively enclosing the space of the self... In sex, it shows in the desire to penetrate the holes of others and the desire to resist having the same happen to oneself.
>In other words, the homophobia of competitive sport allows men to play with each other's bodies and still preserve their patriarchal heterosexist hegemony; they can have their (beef) cake and eat it, too.
>Less boastful than the phallus, perhaps because of its embarrassing vulnerability or even more terrifying potential openness, is the phallus's companion, the protective side of phallic desire, the side than can repel or admit others into the space carved out by phallic aggression.
>The simulacrum of this other side of phallic desire, I suggest is the asshole. It is the tightly closed orifice of the phallic conqueror, as well as the (perhaps) reluctantly opened orifice of the phalically conquered. Masculine desire is thus produced in the play of the phallus and asshole.
>It stimulates desire as both homoerotic and homophobic: homoerotic in its preoccupation with phallic intent, homophobic in its resistance to penetration.
>It goes without saying that a limp, shriveled penis is not effective in simulating the domineering masculine organization of desire. Given that no penis can live up to its phallic boast, no matter how swollen it gets, phallocentrism finds other ways to territorialize the body: innocuously, possibly, in body building, and more despotically in the territorial violence of warfare and competitive sport, for instance.
>Since one's participation in competition indicates one's commitment to phallic potency and one's defeat shows one's anal vulnerability and therefore phallic impotence, there is humiliation in defeat, in being penetrated by one's competitor.

Juan Powell
Not an arguement.
You wanna know why people like sport?
Because it is fucking fun. It sends endorphines into your brain. It's competitive, complex and above all, it's satisfying when you succeed. You don't like MMA because you want to smash a man's naked body. You like it because the pleasure of smashing a body can't be matched by anything.
Women can play it too.
If this philosopher was right, sport nuts would love losing. Because by losing, the game ends. When it's exactly the opposite. It's the thrill of victory that drives the athlete. If it comes faster, like a knockout, the better. It feels like a real victory.

Next you'll say climbing a mountain is gay because you're grabbing something big and hard with all your strength.
Professor Pronger draws from a rich tradition of continental philosophy, including the work of Gilles Deleuze, Félix Guattari, and Julia Kristeva.
He adapts concepts from Foucault using a revised ontological framework adapted from the European post-structuralists to examine modern sports in the context of homosexuality - work that few other philosophers have done.

in that case everything is gay because men do it. Not only sports. Every work that does need interacting with others.

From low wieght to heavy? No one does that. Opposite is the rigt way. You put the weights from havy to low according to what you put up first....

If you lift alone without a spotter, it's best to put the heavy plates on the end, with no clips. That way, if the bar falls on you, the heaviest weights fall off first.

Yeah, a doctor in some hypothetical questions. An easier doctor can't be found. Getting a doctor in a specific field is nothing else than writing about something new, nothing else. A doctor in medicine is much harder to acquire than a doctor in philosophy.
That's some nigger tier doctor. Not even exxagarating. That's just thinking about something and documenting on paper using logic.

So he arbitrarily assumes homosexuality in order to prove that athletes are homosexuals (or at least leaning to it)? How is this any proof whatsoever?

Who the fuck puts on the smaller plates first
Kayden Morris
no proof needed, it's philosophy. The good days are over and philosophy is just like a Perry Rhodan roman for 1 €
Caleb Watson
This is wrong. On the base level, completely wrong.
Let us examine: >sports practice releases endormorphines >Scientific studies -proved- that watching someone do something fires up your neurons >It's practically the same as doing it yourself. >it's literally why we're such good learners. >This means that men who watch sports release endormorphines from watching sports >This also means that -some- homoerotic link can be established as you root for your self-insert on the field to score so you can celebrate >However, just as likely, you're not caring for the other person, but really just projecting yourself. Thus being egotistical and not homoerotic at all. >because there's no link to anyone else.
By the way, there's such bias against men -we're told that all men think about is sex and they're horny all the time- that even plain banter and bonding can just be stigmatized as "EROTIC" + "HOMO" for controversy points.
Tl/DR: Calling male bonding homoerotic is dishonest.
Lucas Kelly

Jace Morales
no clips is just like balancing the weights and the reason to put on the heavy ones first is to center the weight on your middle. putting them on the outside with no clips would let them fall off instantly if you start lifting because fucking physics.
You would concentrate on lifting them up in a wage and doing so will left you balancing them around instead lifting. What fucked up technique is that? And who lifts alone? Only basedwellers do that kind of shit and there is another logical fallance. A light one would fall off as easily in an inbalance as a heavy one. The 9.81 m/s count on every weight. A heavy weight on first is indeed more dangerous because it could NOT just slide off but get stucked and hinder the other ones to fall off as the light ones first would get pushed by the heavier ones....
what the hell, are you really that dumb? It's fucking physics.
Carson Hernandez
>Be gay >Start fantasizing about handegg players having steamy gay sex in the locker room >Write a paper about your gay fantasy, call it "Philosophy"

Brody Martinez
just getting it straight, I don't even think about sex when I do my sport (and my sport is judo, heavily grappling) just thinking about the other one to give up in a choke or bonebreaker. Nothing fucking sexual here, just technique and power. I really don't get why theoretical philosophers not even using any of the known science tchniques or even trying to use a fucking base technique like ockhams razor come to that conclusion.
No, they just got to jump on that shit and no peer review in the world would hold that up. All in all it's just a populistic view with many fallacities. Not even worth a look.
I'm fucking angry about these guys who play the populistic violin and get that attention for it because he has got a doctor in a fucked up science field.

but I never lift heavy alone.
Ryan Cox
who cares about that? We got Mr. Maas and he is already in my mid, watching us and clapping hands if a left-wing band screams germany must die because that's such a good sign for his germany. The other day then he declared war on right-wing facebook groups that weren't even open or so (got no knowledge about facebook but there are closed groups or so). Hillary will do the same but I don't fear that cunt more than I would fear trump. Trump would be the better choice because he is a fucktard beyond believe and change his mind everyday. Laughing stock and inconsistent. He will be eaten by people who earn their power with being eloquent and evil, not some tower building loser (his latest buildings went down to fucking hell if hell is that deep). Doesn't help if he talks out of his ass and with good intentions. The rality is harsh and walls don't build themselves. Maybe putting in some casinos would help to maintain that shit. A fence is better.
Fucking shitfucking hellwhore. I'm so mad now about that lifting motherfucker.
I'm out going to drink and put some wood in my chippers tomorrow thinking about bones get crushed.
Bentley Evans
Okay one more reply before my taxi is here.
Polandbro, it doesn't make sense. You never lift so much weights that the rod is full. In case of no one is around putting the heaviest weight first is the best way to get strangled. The weights got some air inbetween the rod and the weight itself. That's why you use clippers. The more lifts, the more these weights move. It's a quite rapid movement and the weights move to the outside every time. Try it. If you would put the heavy ones on the outside with no cclips you would balance them instead of lifting and if you lose control the chance is pretty high the heavy ones would get stucked on the rod. No other weight would be capable of pushing the heavy weight from the rod and the more time goes by like a faggot the more time you lose getting some fresh air (worst case neck). It's not only moronic using that shit, because the heavy to leight is based on your centre (otherwise it would be always done like light->heavy) but also better in that critical situations because heavier weights would push the lighter ones down the bar.
Now I'm gone and drink a beer or five with my polish friend. Bye.
