Why discriminate?

Have men and women all compete in the same leagues.

No matter what they choose to wear

[ml/nj]

What about discrimination against those of us with a Biblical morality?

They are protecting girls and women’s sports from virtual elimination

From the sound of things, the kids and coaches don't want help from Republicans. In fact they hate you.

Every 100 yard dash would turn into a drag race

Social conservatives have a long track of defeat that makes the French and Italian armies of World War II look like Caesar's legions. From battles over contraception and pornography in the 1950s to homosexual “marriages” in the 2010s, there has been an unending string of losses. Only massive resistance and no surrender will work. If that means the end of collegiate sports beyond intramurals, so be it.

[ConservativeMind]

That is, “country-wide!”

[EEGator]

He was awesome.

Worked in Russia..Bruno competed as Bruna.

[mikelets456]

Lol...the racist, mysogonist leftists found a way to use women then destroy them....oh this is too funny.

[dfwgator]

The East Germans pumped their women athletes so full of hormones, they literally turned into men.

[Jonny7797]

Why is it so hard to just have men compete against men, women against woman, transwhatevers complete against transwhatevers.

[\/\/ayne]

We live in a world of fiction where most people or people in authority pretend bizarre things are normal.

[inchworm]

Real girls matter...RGM!

[Rightwing Conspiratr1]

All these colleges should just start their own version of the NCAA.

[Seruzawa]

Eff the NCAA.

[tbw2]

Agreed

[elpadre]

The NCAA has lost its mind.

I would like them to explain why, exactly, there is a category of sports called “women’s sports”.

Exactly! Everything about college sports is discriminatory by some definition of the word. Some shmoe off the street can't play women's soccer at USC just because he made it to practice, they had to 1) actually be a women (at least until recently). 2) be a student at USC with a certain minimum grade point average and pass a drug test. 3) actually be good enough at soccer to be selected for the team.

If I couldn't play college sports because I was a stupid kid, I'd start identifying as a dean's list student. If I wasn't allowed on the team because I didn't go to the school, I'd identify as a second-semester sophomore. Why stop there though, I might as well identify as the team's leading scorer and demand my name be put on a plaque somewhere. It's not hurting anyone for me to realize my true self as a successful women's college soccer player, and denying the true me is literally violence (or something like that).

[Skywise]

No more NCAA funding. Period.

[SoFloFreeper]

States hold firm. XX chromosomes don’t need to compete against XY chromosomes that THINK they’re XY.

PERIOD. FULL STOP. END OF STORY.

I don’t care what Asa Hutchinson thinks.
