Anthony Ammirati Penalized Because of Pole

The Curious Case of Anthony Ammirati: A Pole Vaulting Saga

In the world of sports, where milliseconds and millimeters often determine the victors, the tale of Anthony Ammirati's pole vaulting misadventure at the 2024 Olympics is one for the ages. It's a story that combines the precision of athletics with the unpredictability of... well, human anatomy.

Let's set the scene: Paris, 2024. The sun is shining, the crowd is buzzing with excitement, and the athletes are at the peak of their physical prowess. Among them is Anthony Ammirati, a French pole vaulter with dreams of Olympic glory. His training has been impeccable, his focus unwavering, and his determination unshakable. But as fate would have it, an unexpected protagonist steals the show—his own crotch.

During a qualifying event, Ammirati makes a valiant attempt to clear the bar at 5.70 meters. He soars through the air, defying gravity with the grace of a gazelle. The crowd holds its breath as he approaches the bar, only for a collective gasp to escape as his... let's say very large 'personal equipment' makes contact, sending the bar crashing down.


The incident instantly goes viral, with social media erupting in a frenzy of jokes and memes. Some call it a 'pole vaulting blooper,' others a 'crotch conundrum,' but all agree it's an Olympic moment unlike any other. Commentators struggle to maintain their composure on live television, and Anthony Ammirati's name becomes synonymous with this peculiar turn of events. On social media many, especially women and gay men are calling for the 21-year-old to create an OnlyFans.  Onlyfans is a new social media platform used to create and keep a fanbase while earning money from content. However, many are using the platform to sell pornography. 

Despite the initial reports, further scrutiny reveals that it wasn't solely his 'bulge' that caused the mishap. In fact, his shins and knees were the first culprits in disturbing the bar's peace. However, the 'crotch finale' was what captured the public's imagination and, unfortunately for Ammirati, overshadowed his athletic performance.  The image of a large thick penis striking the pole is what everyone is talking about now. Apparently this was not the first time his very large member knocked the pole down.



In the aftermath, Ammirati handles the situation with the poise of a true sportsman. He acknowledges the incident with a mix of disappointment and humor, understanding that sometimes, the universe conspires in the most bizarre ways. And while he may not have secured a medal, he certainly wins the internet's heart.

So, what can we learn from Anthony Ammirati's bulge incident? Perhaps it's that in sports, as in life, there are elements beyond our control. Or maybe it's a reminder that sometimes, all you can do is laugh in the face of adversity. But one thing is for sure: the 2024 Olympics will be remembered not just for feats of strength and speed, but also for the day when a pole vaulter's massive crotch became a legend.

This is also a great time for young men or any man to remember to dress properly for sports and for any day-to-day event. We guys come in all shapes and sizes. There is no "one size fits all."  We have to be mindful of our bodies, not just for safety but for modesty as well.  Getting hit down there is no fun at all, so the proper gear meant to secure parts and keep them safe are a must. Moreover, getting sexually harassed by women or even other men because some parts show more or are larger than the average is not fun either.  We must avoid all occasions of sin and temptation.   

As for Anthony Ammirati, he may not have vaulted into the finals, but he certainly vaulted into our collective memory. And who knows? Maybe this incident will inspire a new line of athletic wear designed to protect one's dignity while reaching new heights or to help young men who are larger than average. Only time will tell.

In closing, let's raise a glass to Anthony Ammirati, the man who reminded us that even in the most competitive arenas, there's always room for a little levity. And to all the aspiring athletes out there, remember: keep your eyes on the prize, your form perfect, and maybe invest in some extra padding—just in case or ask Imane Khelif how to tuck things properly.

Ms. Monopoly

It is not news that women are often given the short end of the stick in the workforce, so to speak. Some studies state that women earn about 80 cents for every dollar a man makes. This is usually for the same position in a job. Clearly, this is unjust. A woman should be paid the same as a man in the same position granted her experience and skill warrants it.

Well, a new version of the hit game Monology is changing the odds; at least in the fantasy realm. The new game published by Hasbro is called Ms. Monopoly and features the niece of Mr. Monopoly as the main character. The game is meant to empower women by giving them an upper hand in the business tactics of the game.

In the game, women start with $1,900 playing money while men are given $1,500. Men who play the game would have to be astute and figure out how to equal their salary or surpass that of females playing with them. One such way is by getting the "Community Chest" card that mentions a superhero movie with a female as the lead. This card awards $50 to females and $100 to males. 

The game has been praised by most feminists but frowned upon by male advocacy groups who claim that the game encourages misandry and discrimination against men. By making the rules for women different than that for men, the game by definition is unfair. Then again, this game is meant to convey a message about real-life scenarios where women are paid less than men.

Mario Batali Admits to Sexually Harassing Women

Famed chef Mario Batali famous for wearing the same clothes daily and orange crocs has been accused of sexual harassment by several women.  They claim that Batali made sexual advances and comments to them while working in his restaurants. Ironically, Mario Batali made comments against those who harass women sexually in restaurants by saying:

“I think the reckoning is coming across the board. It is a time for women and men to face each other across the board, across the table."

Everyone who works with him is in shock at the allegations. Batali did not deny them either. He apologized to everyone in a statement:

“I apologize to the people I have mistreated and hurt. Although the identities of most of the individuals mentioned in these stories have not been revealed to me, much of the behavior described does, in fact, match up with ways I have acted. That behavior was wrong and there are no excuses. I take full responsibility and am deeply sorry for any pain, humiliation or discomfort I have caused to my peers, employees, customers, friends and family.”

Batali stepped down from his restaurant empire and ABC has removed him from The Chew program until the allegations were investigated.  I recently saw Mario Batali while in New York in my old Little Italy Belmont neighborhood.  He was walking from Addeo's bakery with a camera crew. Batali was recently featured on a television series with the Walking Dead's Norman Reedus' motorcycle series.






UPDATE: DECEMBER 15, 2017

ABC has fired Mario Batali from The Chew. They wrote on their Facebook:


"Upon completing its review into the allegations made against Mario Batali, ABC has terminated its relationship with him and he will no longer appear on “The Chew.” While we remain unaware of any type of inappropriate behavior involving him and anyone affiliated with our show, ABC takes matters like this very seriously as we are committed to a safe work environment and his past behavior violates our standards of conduct. – ABC Spokesperson"
