      Zhu founded Sperm Racing with Nick Small, 16, head of the business management consulting firm Stealth; Shane Fan, chief executive of the NFT pricing platform Waterfall; and Garrett Niconienko, former content strategist for the YouTuber Mr Beast.

      Well, that explains a lot

        I, for one, think this is fun. And much more ethical than horse racing.

      Finally, a sport gay men can enjoy.

      Well, other than college wrestling.

      This very much feels like a sport invented by men trying to find a new way to express their masculinity without doing the obvious thing: learning to be emotionally literate.

      Maybe I’m wrong and I hope I am, but this feels like the result of Andrew Tate culture

      I don’t even want to give them the clicks for this.

      Is this about 2 guys, 1 girl, and 9 months to find out the “winner?”

        More likely to pay someone else for their sperm and pretend it was his all along

      if you don’t want this in your browsing history:

      Eric Zhu, the company’s 17-year-old co-founder, said the inaugural event would pit samples taken from two healthy young university students against each other on a racetrack 20cm (8in) long and modelled on the female reproductive system.

      honestly, I’d watch it. That sounds hilarious as fuck

      Similar to dog racing where they have a rabbit running ahead of them for inspiration, will they have a clam staged at the finish line?
