Table tennis and golf arent sports....theyre games like checkers and pool.

True. When people say Caster Semenya should be disqualified from competing against other women because her testosterene levels are at a male level, and that gives her an unfair advantage, I say fine, but then you should also ban people taller than two metres from playing basketball, because that's not normal either, and it gives them an unfair advantage against shorter men.
