Honestly it's not like I don't find it interesting to watch, but the inherent unfairness in most para-sports (since often people with different disabilities compete in the same category to avoid having 1 million categories with 2 competitors) has sort of turned me off for a while now, together with the often relatively low level of competitiveness. Look at para-alpine skiing or something for example, so often one sees differences of 5+ seconds in between the medals.....I mean, it's great what they do, but I do want to feel some sort of competitive tension when watching sports Sure some disciplines have it, but in general the fields are just very, very limited. Which is good in a humane sense, since having equal numbers of top-level participants in para-sports would mean a lot more people having disabilities and that's not good
And about Petrillo: the only thing I can say is that it's....interesting (for lack of a better word) to see the comments on social media. Like far-right weirdo Andy Ngo, who sees things like Petrillo's story and - as one can sense from Ngo's tweets - immediately runs to Twitter absolutely fuming, ramming down on his keyboard as angrily as possible to tweet out how awful it all is (personally I'm not sure I agree with the likes of Petrillo competing here, but if she's following the rules, there is zero reason to attack her personally and call her all kinds of disgusting and humiliating stuff like people on a certain side on social media so often like to do)
