Forfeits

That’s been in the news for over a month. There’s actually been 4 teams that have forfeited. I was going to post it several weeks ago but got distracted. I’m surprised someone is printing the story like it’s new news?

Boise State just forfeited another time. They played another team that had also forfeited against San Jose. All the fans for both teams wore BOYcott T-Shirts.

This has been a useful talking point for the right. The only response Harris supporters have, is that the right makes too big a deal out of it, while the important issue is really abortion (etc). Nobody hoping for a Harris victory is saying out loud that they think trans girls should be competing against normal girls.

There’s a ballot initiative in NY that will enshrine tranny goons in girls sports in the state constitution.
But it’s not obvious, it’s sold as the modern day ‘Equal Rights Amendment’, which will add ‘gender expression’ and ‘nation of origin’ to the existing non-discrimination clause.
Courts will decide what that means. Can undocumented people get on Medicaid if it passes?
Anyway I’m a no vote.

Did not really talk about the heart of the question.
A San Jose State women’s volleyball player is eligible to play in her conference tournament this week, a federal judge in Denver ruled Monday, despite complaints from competitors who object to her participation on the grounds that she is transgender.

In his 28-page ruling, Crews hardly addressed the alleged fairness and safety issues raised by San Jose State co-captain Brooke Slusser and other Mountain West women’s volleyball players. Crews instead focused on the timing of the plaintiffs’ complaint, filed less than two weeks before the Mountain West tournament was slated to begin this Wednesday in Las Vegas.
The Mountain West’s transgender participation policy has been in place since 2022 and all teams were made aware of it, Crews noted. The judge argued that the plaintiffs “could have have sought injunctive relief much earlier” since they’ve been aware of San Jose State’s alleged transgender player for months.
“The Court finds the movants’ delay was not reasonable,” Crews wrote. “There is no evidence to suggest they were precluded from seeking emergency relief earlier, and the rush to litigate these complex issues now over a mandatory injunction places a heavy lift on the MWC at the eleventh hour.”
