Noem's spin calling her actions as only 'style and form' is not fooling anyone.
Another one bites the dust...
She’s doing her best to keep those potential corporate donors on her side for a future POTUS campaign.
Kristi....we hardly knew ya.
Courage is rare—a lot of folks are learning that the hard way.
Hard decisions like this separate the wheat from the chaff. Noem appears to be the chaff. Trump is still the 2024 GOP front-runner, as he has always been. We will see who else in the GOP crowd distinguishes themselves. Noem is done.
I would let this settle out a bit before coming to a conclusion. Just like Governor DeSantis here in FL - the emerging GOP presidential candidates are taking a lot of fake-news/exaggerated news flak at this point. Gladly amped by the media as an extension of the DNC, merely to damage GOP candidates.
In ten years anyone not supporting Trannies in female sports will be called a bigot and even “conservative Republicans” will attack you. They did the same thing with faggot “marriage”
“”” the emerging GOP presidential candidates are taking a lot of fake-news/exaggerated news flak at this point.”””
I do not believe FReepers consider The Federalist as ‘fake news/exaggerated news.
To end guys in women sports, I suggest allowing NBA players to play in the WNBA. That would be amusing
“””I suggest allowing NBA players to play in the WNBA.”””
Great idea. But why stop with just basketball. Let men play against women in professional tennis and golf
I’m still trying to figure out why anyone would need a state law to keep boys out of girls sports. Isn’t this what school boards and sports governing bodies are supposed to do?

There’s a link to the actual letter.
If SD colleges and unis are governed by the State Board of Regents, then they are NOT exempt.
No spin; and Gov. Noem has not sold out women’s sports.
Take the bill, place that in Florida, from the Florida State Legislature to Gov. DeSantis.
He writes the same letter to the legislature, returning the bill to them, for reconsideration.
The Florida problema and the South Dakota problem are the same.
One issue, is national competition at the collegiate level. The existing bill would likely halt that. How will Floridians and their collegiate sports programs react?
Another issue, is that the bill - if signed - ends up before the US Supreme Court.
Then, you will have the USSC legislating the matter, from the bench . . . or, is it better to keep the legislative matter in-state(?) - and that is the view of Gov. Noem, for the moment.
In-state, and under the control of the state, Gov. Noem’s legal advisors (they studied the problem for almost 3 months), believe that the matter overall, is best kept in-state.
Thus, she chose ground where that can best be defended; and thus, her letter to the SD legislature.
Dave Chappelle had a comedy bit where he suggested exactly that. LOL. He said Lebron James should play in the WNBA so he can average like 250 points per game.
Before this, I thought she had something going for her. Not now!
And to think, I had so much hope for her because she had done many things so well. But this one, much like unborn child murder, is a 100% drop-dead NO excuse topic for me.
“ Great idea. But why stop with just basketball. Let men play against women in professional tennis and golf”
All good, but I think NBA playing in the WNBA would be the funniest, games of 500-0 would be common. I did read somewhere that they had the best womens tennis player go up against a high school kid some years ago and she got thoroughly monkey stomped
Biggest cave since Bush I broke his “Read my lips” pledge.
