In my last post, I mentioned Caster Semenya, who, for those of you even less informed about sports than I am (if that's possible), is an astonishingly fast, young, female runner, accused of being a man and therefore, possibly stripped of her right to compete.
My heart goes out to her, because she was born the way she is, she was born to run, and yet she is being subjected to public scrutiny and possibly being barred from doing the one thing at which she excels most. Can't there simply be a human league for non-contact sports? Or was that just a bad '80s band?
And here's another question: does anyone besides me notice an ironic connection between her name and her predicament? I mean, woe to the male athlete named Hyster Ovaria.
