Coach of Vermont school banned for forfeiting game over transgender player defends action

The coach of a Vermont high school girls basketball team that was banned from state athletics after forfeiting a game against a squad with a trans player defended the decision — stressing the danger of a biological male playing against girls.

“I’ve got four daughters. I’ve coached them all at one point in their careers playing high school basketball,” Chris Goodwin, coach of the girls’ team at the Mid-Vermont Christian School, said Monday on “Fox & Friends.”

“I’ve also filled in for the boys’ coach when he can’t make a practice, and I run those practices, and boys just play at a different speed, a different force … than the girls play. It’s a different game,” he said, adding that it would be “irresponsible” and “asking for an injury” to a smaller female athlete.

The ugly truth is the sexual weirdo community gets off on beating up girls. Perverts.

trannies should be thrown in mental asylums. And their parents chemically neutered/castrated so that they don’t raise any more.

Get together with other schools and form a independent girls’ basketball league.

Title IX was created to insure that girls/women/biological females would have a guaranteed place to participate in special extra-curricular activities — chiefly sports. Activists were all over making sure that this happened at every school possible.

Now in just 2-ish years, a new set of activists are trying to completely undo this, undermining the very reasons for that law’s existence: the chance to compete, along with chances to compete fairly, safely, and on a level playing field.

Could he sue in Federal court claiming a Title IX violation?

When fools think they’re wise, only proving themselves to be fools.

It’s cheating and dangerous. I read about ref’s in rugby (UK) quitting being a ref because they were tired of ‘trans women’ breaking BONES of opponents in women’s leagues.

It’s like we’re having to endure insanity meeting reality, as though reality should yield.

This isn’t an adult debate, it’s not a civilized discussion...”foolish juvenile idiot” is all they are. Putting their ‘virtue signaling’ above the safety of females is so cringe...and morally wrong.

Yep because they are such losers that girls are the only ones they can beat up- and even then they can barely do so

Besides hanging all of them, that’s the best solution I’ve heard so far.

This would not be an issue if the Parents in these schools would pull their kids (at least the girls) in protest.

That policy would change lightning fast.

just my $0.02

Pretty sad state of affairs when a male steps up to defend teenage girls and he actually gets in trouble for it.

The fact that the coach was banned should tell you that pulling the girls wouldn’t change a thing. The girls would then be banned from basketball scholarships. Why do you think these trans are playing girls basketball? To get scholarships.

Perhaps the best way to deal with these trans is to ignore them. Don’t guard them. Let them shoot with impunity. Why, even if you get the ball, pass it to the tranny and let him dribble all the way to the basket.
