The true story is much more complex than can be explained clearly in a handful of rage tweets.

    She definitely knew what she was doing. Carini is a policewoman with connections to the Italian alt right. She was paid 50k after the match by the IBA, the ones that disqualified Khelif in 2023 after winning the gold.

      Why does this comment smell like a conspiracy theory? Will read article and delete if this is referenced.

      Edit: did not see anything about a payoff there. Got a link showing Russian involvement/payment by chance?

      Double edit for rule. Didn’t want to change username. He/him

          Ty, definitely adds good context to the political rat behaviour. Looks like the Italian Boxing Federation won’t accept the offer, but that doesn’t say anything about Carini or her coach. https://apnews.com/article/olympics-2024-boxing-italy-c2fc28a02c220e507152f18a44d7dbef

        Her trainer interview to an Italian newspaper is a bit sus and might imply premeditation of her actions.

        Especially when Inane next adversary was dabbing on a similar type of hate on social media.

        Hmmm this seems annoying for you! Really good example of the value of user flairs

        So long as this is a public community it feels like a perennial problem. Though private communities aren’t here yet, it seems you and the mods here want this to be a relatively public community. So community specific user flairs seem like the only workable solution (where there could be a default “use handle” flair or something or a requirement for first time posters to select a flair).

        Don’t know if there’s an issue for it or others pushing for it, but this situation seems like an idea case for its value.

            Ah right. Makes sense. Sorry for jumping in then if that was annoying/repetitive.
