According to Outkick, an online sports publication, the University of Nevada Reno’s women’s volleyball team held a vote among players and voted to forfeit the scheduled Oct. 26 match against San Jose State, because of SJSU’s transgender player Blaire Fleming.

Earlier, the Nevada athletic department said in an exclusive statement to OutKick that the team would play the scheduled match. But evidently the players have a different idea of what a fair playing field is.

“We, the University of Nevada Reno women’s volleyball team, forfeit against San Jose State University and stand united in solidarity with the volleyball teams of Southern Utah University, Boise State University, the University of Wyoming, and Utah State University,”  the team wrote in an exclusive statement to OutKick. 

“We demand that our right to safety and fair competition on the court be upheld. We refuse to participate in any match that advances injustice against female athletes.”

San Jose’s women’s team plays New Mexico, which lost to Nevada over the weekend.

In Alaska, Rep. Jamie Allard has been working to get legislation passed that reserves girls teams for actual girls, rather than allowing boys to play on the teams simply because they want to. Last year, her legislation died in the Democrat-controlled Senate.

  1. Good.

    As all women’s sports teams should, period.

    Allow the cheaters there supposed victory even and up to a championship that holds no actual competition, but rather an accomplishment of fallacy, of which no actual accomplishment is made.

    Yay! Our dude helped us win without any actual competition, so therefore, it is our dude, singular, that has achieved our championship, not any of the actual female players that were also once part of the ‘team’….

    How sad is that?

    None, and I mean NONE of the actual FEMALES on HIS team matter, only HE does, and only HE matters unto the teams’ victories. The actual FEMALES on HIS team are merely pawns serving their KING…..so sad, so sad….and they deserve said sadness by allowing such fallacy to occur…I feel not one whit of sympathy, or empathy, for them.

    That said, perhaps when they, as a team of FEMALES, refuse and walk away from the support of a MALE playing upon their team, I shall change mine own mind, but not until said time.

  2. If I were in the audience, I would have given those Nevada girls a standing ovation-
    Excellent, Excellent ladies! Protect biological women.
