Here’s what Carini said after the fight:
“I had entered the ring to fight. I didn’t give up, but a punch hurt too much and so I said enough. I go out with my head held high.”
What did homegirl think was going to happen in a boxing match?
She got hit too hard and quit? It’s time to apply for the CDL, sweetie. The grown adults are trying to win gold medals out here.
What was the point of training for this event when you were going to quit before the first round ended because your opponent was playing too rough?
And now Imane Khelif, the woman who went into a boxing match looking to, ya know, box, has to be put under the microscope by the loudest, wrongest people on Earth because Angela flew into Paris and left her talent at home.
Khelif was disqualified at the 2023 World Boxing Championships in New Delhi after failing a gender eligibility test.
Imane Khelif was born and raised a woman. She has a vagina. But this gender test identified her testosterone levels as being too high. The IBA president claimed a DNA test determined Khelif had XY chromosomes despite, once again, her being born and raised a woman. She is not a man who transitioned into a woman. She’s not tricking anyone. She’s intersex which isn’t against any rules which is why she was able to compete in the Olympics.
She’s not even that great of a boxer. Its not like she’s some huge jacked woman who dominates competition. She’s lost matches against women who didn’t cry about getting hit too hard and instead, just hit her back just as hard because they’re boxers.
Imane Khelif competed in the LAST Olympics and lost in the quarterfinals. No one ran out of the ring in fear for their life. They just hit her back.
Imagine Josh Allen quitting in the first quarter of the playoff game against the Chiefs because the Bills were getting beat so badly. I promise you JK Rowling and these nosepickers wouldn’t be calling for Patrick Mahomes to be banned from the sport.
This is the fucking OLYMPICS. People train their entire lives to get to this stage.
Angela, if this girl is hitting you too hard, like, move your head away from her fists. You’re allowed.
But now we’re stuck with the most annoying discourse for the next week all thanks to Angela Carini being a massive pussy. Time to hit the weight room, Angela. Or log into LinkedIn and start updating those references. You are not built for this.
