For some reason, the Giants aren't playing the #Reds today Fri 3/28 but will play them on Sat & Sun 3/29-30 to complete their 3 game series in #Cincinnati.
However, the #Athletics are playing the #Mariners in #Seattle this evening. So, I may watch that game to keep my #baseball groove on.

World Athletics is to introduce chromosome testing in female atheletes to determine the presence of a 'Y' chromosome.
The reason given by the bigoted Sebastian Coe is ' "We'll doggedly protect the female category and do whatever it takes to do it." '
This approach was dropped by the IOC in 1999 because it excluded some cis women.
