meanwhile, back on planet earth, "unfair and unsafe" SJSU lost their last 2 games, at home, including a straight sets loss to SDSU. they sit 3rd in conference.
UNSAFE‼️ Another female player smashed by a kill from SJSU’s male starter, Blaire Fleming, in tonight’s match against @UNMLoboVB.pic.twitter.com/qydBd1m8Od
And who was the female who didn’t get to play because the coach gave her playing time to a male?
Also, a 6’01” male is going to spike the ball from a higher point and a much faster trajectory than the female’s are used to defending against.
Just like the female boxer in the Olympics who couldn’t cope with the difference in power punches from the male boxer competing in the female division.
Would I be disappointed in losing to a clean runner? Yes. But would I be truly angry? No. Would I be angry if I lost to a doper who was allowed to compete? Yes. Being a biological male is like doping.
There has been growing debate over the future of women's sport in recent years, since swimmer Lia Thomas became the first transgender athlete to win an NCAA Division 1 title in 2022.
you keep offering some fake, long list. there are 3 forfeits on their schedule. they will play 2 of those teams again, so it will be max 5 from 3 teams.
the interesting one is what does boise state do if they need a win that last game before the conference tournament. they might be ending their season to make their little political point.

Sept 28 Boise State
Oct 5 Wyoming
Oct 23 Utah State
Oct 26 Nevada *moved the game from Reno to San Jose so that SJSU doesn't have to travel to Reno just to get their forfeit win. I wish they would have made them travel.
Nov 14 Wyoming
Nov 21 Boise State
6 of 26 matches, 23% of their schedule. It must be really fun for the other players on the team to have to practice every day and then not get to play matches.

There is absolutely no safety issue involved there. It is everyday occurrence in college volleyball.
Something "defenders of women's sports" don't know because they don't watch women's sports.
If you are against trans athletes, you'd better come up with a real reason, not a totally made-up BS.
3 of those games have not happened yet. your list should be 3 games long.
you couldn't have played sports. i played select soccer on a 2-time state champ (before going on to D3) and we had a team walk off the field 10 minutes into a tournament final after we were awarded a PK and scored it.
we held the trophy ceremony anyway. we'd won 4 straight games to that point to make that final. your issues are not taking away from my 5th win and trophy. they have to play 20+ teams a season. you think they spend much time pondering you? presumably you're announcing in advance. you're a non-event like the meet was snowed in or the opposition couldn't field a team. you're a day off or a practice day.
teams prepare to play volleyball again, not to ponder politics. so they will be getting ready for the next team to show up.
only in the heads of the conceding team and its fans is this an event. this is an empty space to SJSU.
and to underline something, 2/3 of the forfeiting teams are below the tournament line. they have nothing at stake.
only the 1 team currently "in" sits 6th. they play SJSU the last game. they have a mediocre 12-7 record. boise state is likely going to be presented a situation where they end their season right there if they forfeit the second time.
fyi SJSU sent BSU an email asking to be made whole financially for the lost revenue from the forfeited game.
i also would not be surprised if sanctions get sought against the forfeiting teams, standings points docked, etc.
all due respect to your free speech but you don't just get to skip conference games when the other team is complying with the rules. you can do your protest and the league then treats you like a team can't be bothered fulfilling its schedule.
"assault?" so now we're going past the bs suggestion this person hits harder than olympic women -- which she doesn't -- to suggesting that they don't consent to volleyball things happening on a volleyball court?
Thank Democrats for allowing this in the first place.
WRONG. I am a democrat and I am surrounded by democrats and not one thinks biological males should play with women. Never met one. Instead of blaming everyone else why don't you run for office.

BUT YOUR PARTY is the one driving this forward and allowing it to happen.
