You don't determine whether someone is male or female by their passport how ridiculous...

[Ay_Tone]

The filthiest most revolting Olympics ever.

[yvonneenglish]

Domestic violence in the boxing ring. Disgusting for the sport.

[rhondacroswell]

The IOC is a total disgrace. I hope the IOC is sued for allowing this to happen.

[fonteekome]

With an opening ceremony like that what did you expect?

[erinfenton]

The whole Olympics been nothing but a disgrace from the opening, everyone should just avoid it like it's plagued.

[josiewilson]

Man bashes women.... headlines for the Olympics

[hughheeney]

The IOC must resign immediately, they are a disgrace.

[PaulTippit-knfj]

All women olympiads should walk out tomorrow.

[peterbegetis]

Display of domestic violence. A man smashed up a woman. Gee that’s disgusting

[buckyb]

The Italian fighter did the right thing. She made a statement by not fighting him.

[kiwibred]

The women boxers should boycott the competition

[davehad-enough]

The Olympic games are now irrelevant. They are no longer a true representation of sports. They are a joke. The IOC has fallen. It's over.

[jellybean]

What’s disturbing is that the XY fighter and other biologically male XY athletes have no conscious about hitting or dominating women unfairly.

[amallon]

The smug look on his face afterwards was despicable

[justy]

Props to Fox for leaving comments on… other media outlets always turn them off

[brendafrost]

It is NOT a female! Stop calling HIM her!

[LyndonPatrickSmith]

This isn’t the first time. Remember the women’s 800 meter race at the 2016 Rio Olympics. Canadian Melissa Bishop lost to three intersex athletes, so the world’s top female of the day came in 4th and never got a medal. She lost to three XY athletes. The next year the IOC changed the rules so that XY females needed to reduce their testosterone to normal female levels, but Melissa never got the gold medal she so richly deserved, or any other Olympic medal for that matter.

No way I'd allow my daughter to fight a dude!

[Bbrad]

Algeria is celebrating this. Algeria - are you really this weak? Is this the best you can do for a national hero?
