Boise St forfeits Mntn West volleyball tourny

[VibratingDryer]

Learned some info from an article this AM:

In the final match, he/she did not lead the team in kills (which you would expect, given that she used to be a man)

"But Fleming did come alive in the third set, leading all players with 9 kills to keep the Spartans' season alive and cut the deficit to 2-1. Fleming led all Spartans with 17 kills in the match."

Box score: https://sjsuspartans.com/boxscore/7163

The only player with more kills in the entire match is Malaya Jones for Colorado State (26), whom was previously accused of conspiring with Fleming to have a SJSU teammate spiked in the face.

"Things got more complicated in October, when Slusser alleges she learned of a plot by Fleming to have her spiked in the face by a volleyball during a game against Colorado State Oct. 3. The lawsuit alleges the incident was reported by teammate Tanner Manusky to Kress and Batie-Smoose the night before the game, and that Manusky was present during a conversation between Fleming and Colorado State player Malaya Jones."

You can think of 1000 things more important than biological females losing scholarships to male athletes? Being forced to shower and room with a male teammate? I'll pray for your daughters.

I guess I'm gullible, but I find it incomprehensible that an insurance company would pay for elective surgery, and if that's true, and I was a policy holder with said company, I would be absolutely furious...

Didn't I hear that Kamala wanted to pass regulation to make it possible for incarcerated inmates to get gender reassignment surgery and the Govt would pay for it? Your tax dollars hard at work.

You don't need to pray for them, they're doing fine. But thanks for asking.

And it's such a huge issue that about a hundred people showed up for the finals, all of which I can guarantee you were family and significant others. Almost a certainty there will be more posts on this topic on this site than there were spectators at the finals.

How about balancing the federal budget?Saving medicare, saving social security, Modernizing defense, passing a real immigration bill. And about nine hundredd ninety five other things.

But hey, keep the outrage flowing . . .

But more to the point, why won't the NCAA address the issue? Seems to be part of their core mission and where the buck ought to stop

By the way, I ought to add that I agree with most of you. Men playing in women's sports is a really bad idea, but just like NIL and unlimited transfer portal, which are also very bad ideas, I think the NCAA should get off their ass and address the issue. Instead of the state and federal governments.

What rag article did you read this morning?

Attendance was 312. It wasn't a bigger issue until this year because Fleming was injured most of the 2023 season. The media didn't report on Fleming's gender identity until April 2024.

The NCAA was asked numerous times for comment and deferred to the institutions involved. The governing body is actively complicit in allowing these farces. Lia Thomas won an NCAA Division 1 championship in freestyle...olympic silver medalist Emily Weyant was second. Read that again. An olympic female athlete had a NCAA title stolen by a man.

But muh Medicare!! Keep taking COVID boosters and you won't have to worry about social security.

Oh, is the option saving Medicare or addressing an unfair sporting decision? I had not heard that. Thanks for that perspective.

Well, tbh, Congress these days is probably incapable of either one. But, because I am bored on a cold day, and I know you, above any and all posters, will respond ad infinitum on each and every topic, what is the next step on your legislative agenda, picking the 68 teams for the NCAA tournament? Choosing the 12 teams in the CFP? Reversing the Kentucky Derby decision a few years ago when they DQ'ed a horse in the stretch? What exactly does the NCAA do anyway if they won't decide the issue?

NYT article carried in today's LHL which stated: "Some players climbed into the stands, which were sparsely filled with about 100 fans, to take photos with friends and family". You are quoting the attendance from the SJSU boxscore, the UKAA boxscore of the Kentucky Louisville game reported attendance of over 58,000, which is probably 15,000 to 20,000 more than were actually there.

But 100 or 300 is splitting hairs, there was almost no one there.

(looks like you are reading something from Great Britain)

Gosh, much thanks for the kind and generous response.

I was not aware that only one thing could be worked on at a time, but if the NCAA won’t protect women’s sports and the intentions of Title IX have any substance, federal government action would be warranted, even if this does not impact your daughters directly.

I always respond to you kindly and generously just like you do to all of us posters.

International swimming association banned transgender swimmers after the NCAA meet mentioned above which is why Thomas did not go to Olympic trials, seems like NCAA could follow that example

I just don't get it, why would you want to compete against people whom you have a biological advantage over. There is more than winning. Wanting to prove yourself, prove to yourself, I think for most competitors/athlete's is a big reason they play/complete.
