Some Fine Sports Fans React To Vanderbilt Kicker Pick

LOL. Stereotype accuracy for the win!

An unusual case of gynecomastia associated with soy product consumption

A 60-year-old man was referred to the endocrinology clinic for evaluation of bilateral gynecomastia of 6 months' duration. He reported erectile dysfunction and decreased libido. On further review of systems, he reported no changes in testicular size, no history of testicular trauma, no sexually transmitted diseases, no headaches, no visual changes, and no change in muscular mass or strength. Initial laboratory assessment showed estrone and estradiol concentrations to be 4-fold increased above the upper limit of the reference range. Subsequent findings from testicular ultrasonography; computed tomography of the chest, abdomen, and pelvis; and positron emission tomography were normal. Because of the normal findings from the imaging evaluation, the patient was interviewed again, and he described a daily intake of 3 quarts of soy milk. After he discontinued drinking soy milk, his breast tenderness resolved and his estradiol concentration slowly returned to normal.

Is This the Most Dangerous Food For Men?

For Price, a retired U.S. Army intelligence officer who once flew attack helicopters in Vietnam, these changes were more than just physically uncomfortable.

“Men aren’t supposed to have breasts,” he says today in a quiet Texas drawl. “It was like my body was feminizing.”

A lean and wiry man, the breast development stood in stark contrast to the rest of his body. But it was not Price's only symptom.

His beard growth had slowed, he’d lost hair from his arms, chest, and legs, and he’d stopped waking up with morning erections.

“My sexual desire disappeared,” he says. “My penis—I won’t say it atrophied, but it was so flaccid that it looked very small in comparison with the way it used to be. Even my emotions changed.”

“I said, ‘Let’s go over your diet, meal by meal, and you tell me every single thing you eat and drink.’ He said, ‘Sure, Dr. Lewi. I get up and usually have some cereal.’ I said, ‘Do you put anything on it?’ He said ‘Soy milk.’”

Price explained that he’d developed lactose intolerance in recent years and had switched to soy milk exclusively. It had, in fact, become one of his favorite drinks, a great thirst quencher in the Texas heat.

Dr. Lewi suddenly felt his excitement building. He asked Price how much soy milk, on average, he drank each day.

“He told me, ‘Probably about 3 quarts,’” recalls Dr. Lewi about the moment that changed everything.

Soy food and isoflavone intake in relation to semen quality parameters among men from an infertility clinic

These data suggest that higher intake of soy foods and soy isoflavones is associated with lower sperm concentration.

Science is a white way of knowing, and somebody investigating the relationship between food and well-being is racist and sexist.

And????

Holy smokes, we got another soyboyist.

Ikr? I would, I expect, handily beat almost any "soyboyist" in any contest of masculinity short of power-lifting or pushups, and that I could take twice as much of a hit in any contact sports they want to engage in. Oh, I bet I get laid more often too (both the pussy and the dick).

Mostly, I think it comes down to jealousy that people like me are successful when they are so... not... That they have to manufacture reasons I must be "unmanly".

What else I find funny is even if I started injecting actual estrogen tomorrow, nothing would change about me. Maybe I would get a tad bit moodier? But the fact is, testosterone being in the body at all generally suppresses estrogen. People taking estrogen for transition need to also take T suppressors, whereas people transitioning the other way don't have to do anything to suppress estrogen!

Holy shit Jarhyn, is your dick similar in size to a toddler's arm too?

And the reason no male soccer players were available to kit beyond the 35 yard line would be what?

Yet another irrelevant comment driven by male fragility.

I'm male. I'm fragile. And it's OOOKKKKKKhayyeeyee.

Like, you would think a fragile male who uses phrases like "soyboy" to criticise people and commenting on a sports thread would actually know how the game is played, and the strategies involved, or, would at least know what a "squib kick" is.. especially since it's been mentioned in the thread on a number of occasions.

Edit: I don't even like football and I know what a squib kick is!

I agree, problem is I didn't claim otherwise. What I was saying is why no one seemed to see this sort of thing coming? The violent language in the OP? That was the point I was trying to make. Not what you turned it into.

Then "it's unacceptable for both men and women" is not at all helpful. The "both sides are the same" argument is really popular these days, but it actually serves to diminish accountability for the abusive "side." At best, your words are clumsy and ambivalent if that lazy "both sides are the same" bullshit is not what you meant.

I didn't make a comparison either. I'm saying we shouldn't be suprised. And what do you intend to do about the situation to help other than generate statements I never made so you can shadow box yourself?

I quoted you verbatim! OK, so your communication was clumsy and misinterpreted. But I never put words in your mouth.

I may misspell words & have a clumsy way of communication but at least I know what verbatim means.

Okay, that is the most ridiculous statement in this thread. That was a pretty high bar to reach!

Apparently not. It means exact words. And these are the exact words I quoted.

It's unacceptable for both men and women.

Again, if you meant something other than these exact words that you said, then that's on you. No one's putting words in your mouth.

Ok i'll give you that. It was verbatim. Though it has nothing to do with my originally intended statement, I still wonder how you interpreted "It's unacceptable for both men and women" as "both sides are the same". I do agree that my actual statement which amounts to we should have seen this coming was not very helpful but who & what on this messageboard is helpful? If by helpful you mean actually effecting change in how people talk about the Sarah Fuller pick which is what this discussion seems to be about (& I say seems because I'm not sure how you'll interpret it) then none of the comments here are helpful.

Sarah Fuller did make a couple of PATs in their next game, though there wasn't much pressure from the other team on her kicks, and another player handled kickoffs and field goals. So she we will be finishing her career a perfect 2 for 2 because the season is over for them.

I do believe a female could make as at least a college level kicker. Here's Carli Lloyd hitting a practice one from 55, though yes, using several more steps.

But maybe not necessarily a former soccer player. I think you may need more size and power. If some of the bigger, stronger female athletes, like you see in track and field, would take up kicking I would bet they could succeed.
