mason's response blog to...

My very first re blog is about what Discovery News or the Discovery channel posted to there website about "false starts and reaction time between men and women based on recent studies conducted by the university of Michigan about women getting away with false starts more then men because of a shorter reaction time men have to the starting pistol compared to women's reaction time as a study results taken from the 2008 Beijing Olympics". My thoughts on this is after I had first read it was this might not be the best thing but at other thought realized other people would disagree with my thought because what the study clearly showed was that men were able to react 23 milliseconds better to the starting gun then women can as the study showed. But advantage to the women because of there smaller size and weight they are more reactive to a starting alarm sometimes and more often causing a false start when they know the gun is about to go off. But still this is a professional sport and cheating or allowing false starts would change the sport and allow people to have and in even (not fair) race.
