Over 4,000 women athletes demand NCAA protect women's sports

Over 4,000 female athletes have called upon the NCAA Board of Governors to protect women’s sports by barring male athletes from competing.

The advocacy group Our Bodies, Our Sports reportedly delivered a “coalition letter signed by its 12 member organizations from across the political aisle demanding the NCAA take immediate action to repeal its discriminatory policy that allows male athletes to compete in women’s sports — taking trophies, roster sports, playing time, resources, and opportunities to compete from women,” according to the Independent Women’s Forum.

The coalition of letters were delivered before the NCAA Board of Governors could meet on Thursday, April 25, where the organization will consider its policy on males participating in women’s sports. The meeting follows a lawsuit filed by activist Riley Gaines (Gaines et al. v NCAA et al.). The current policy allows males to compete in women’s sports, provided their testosterone levels have been lowered to a specific requirement.

Tennis player Martina Navratilova, founding member of the Women’s Sports Policy Working Group, said that men and women should not be competing in sports.

“I practiced and competed against men in mixed doubles during my decades on the professional tennis tour. But it didn’t take those experiences to convince me that our common sense is correct: men and women are built so differently that we require our own sport category, to win, to make money, and to create a legacy. I will fight for every girl to have the right to aspire to great accomplishments through sport, and I hope the NCAA will, too,” she said.

As Breitbart News reported this week, The Biggest Loser star and celebrity trainer Jillian Michaels came out against men competing in women’s sports, saying the evidence “irrefutably” undercuts the transgender cause...

I hope that every single woman (real woman) stand up and tell the NCAA that they WILL NOT COMPETE AGAINST MEN, PERIOD. Stay at home and it won’t take a whole year to end this insanity.

Amen to that.
This foolishness is beyond the pale, and people see it for what it is.
Good on her.

What would really put an end to this gender insanity is if every time a trannie steps up to the starting line, every single biological woman competitor walks away. So far, only a few have had the courage to do so.

This latest development is an encouraging sign.

Male and Female. That’s it in a nutshell. The NCAA should mandate sports must be based on biological sex and not self described gender.

Exactly. As I tell the voter skeptics in the 2A world that’s convinced that their vote doesn’t count, stand up and be counted, lead by example and you will see benefits.

Riley Gaines proves how powerful you can be especially if you’re on the right side of the issue. Brave young woman with a bright future.

Disband the NCAA and allow women organize their own governing organization by women for women. The present NCAA governing members must be represented by a bunch of homo pedos.

It’s ironic that we are told to “trust the science” and “the science is settled” when it comes to COVID and global warming ... but that’s thrown out the window when males want to compete in women’s sports.

I come from a different time and from a different planet. In my day, any male who had to play sports with the girls would have been hounded out of the county. Simply put, we real males would have made their lives too miserable to endure.

Disband NCAA.

No.

The leadership of the NCAA are communist disrupters, Alinskyites

They advocate for Trans men participating in women’s sports to create chaos. They will not relent.

Better to start a new organization that will eventually replace the NCAA

The NCAA is done anyway, because the big football programs are going to break away from it, and set up their own organization.

“girls will be boys and boys will be girls,
it’s a mixed up, muddled up, shook up world, except for lola”. lotta lola’s goin’ on. just taking a look at the feministas demonstrating against everything good and “normal” has to make you wonder why so many trannies dress and act more feminine that their women’s liberation counterparts. just my 2.

Our government is full of Alinskyites.

They make millions practicing his techniques while destroying our society.
