Re: Free Online Football Management Game, Xpert 11 - Clarets Championship

As another season draws to a close, I am looking for a couple of new managers to join the Xpert11 fold. The Clarets Championship will shortly enter its 65th season, old enough to draw a pension (in Xpert11 years) but still going strong with 36 teams fighting for the coveted title. If you're reading ...

What about people like Caster Semenya? Should they be allowed to compete at all?
Unfortunately probably not.

The alternative (letting her compete) harms all female athletes, whereas a ban harms only those who are intersex.

Always take the option that does the least harm.

Apart from Huddersfield we've created less chances and less on target than every opposition including Shrewsbury.
