The University of Wyoming women’s volleyball team will forfeit and record a loss to San Jose State University, which has a transgender athlete on its women’s team.
“After a lengthy discussion, the University of Wyoming will not play its scheduled conference match against San José State University in the UniWyo Sports Complex on Saturday, Oct. 5. Per Mountain West Conference policy, the Conference will record the match as a forfeit and a loss for Wyoming. The Cowgirls will host Fresno State on Thursday, Oct. 3 at 6:30 p.m. in the UniWyo Sports Complex,” the school said.
On Saturday, the Boise State women’s volleyball team forfeited to San Jose State. Southern Utah was the first to forfeit.
Neither school mentioned Blaire Fleming, the transgender on the SJSU team. Earlier, the Wyoming Cowgirls had held that they would play, but the safety concerns surfaced in recent days.
“I am in full support of the decision by @wyoathletics to forego playing its volleyball match against San Jose State. It is important we stand for integrity and fairness in female athletics,” wrote Wyoming Governor Mark Gordon on X/Twitter.
Alaska’s Rep. Jamie Allard, who has led the charge to protect girls and women’s sports in Alaska, issued this statement:
“University of Wyoming just took a bold stand for women’s sports, and I have to say, I love seeing it. They’re not backing down, they’re stepping up, and it’s about time. Female athletes deserve a fair playing field, and this move sends a clear message – we’re not putting up with this nonsense anymore. Now Wyoming is standing strong, and I encourage every female athlete to keep fighting for what’s right. Together, we can win this!”
San Jose State University issued its own statement to the online publication Outkick, which is at the forefront of reporting on the recent overtaking of women’s teams by transgenders:
“It is disappointing that our SJSU student athletes, who are in full compliance with NCAA and Mountain West rules and regulations, are being denied opportunities to compete,” the school wrote. “We are committed to supporting our student-athletes through these challenges and in their ability to compete in an inclusive, fair, safe and respectful environment.”
Outkick also reports that San Jose State University “had hid Fleming’s true sex, including from Fleming’s teammates, as Spartans volleyball player Brooke Slusser told OutKick’s Amber Harding.”
Slusser, has since joined in the lawsuit against the NCAA for its transgender policy. She said that when the team went on road trips, Fleming frequently specifically requested to room with Slusser, and the school’s team managers never told Slusser that Fleming was a biological male.
The world needs more cowboys.
Yee Ha on those Wyoming Cowgirls.
Good on them. Cowgirls always win
Ladies, keep fighting this disgusting trend! Thank you for taking a firm stand❤️
How can people really believe that a biological male who had gone through puberty is on the same muscular development as a biological female? All you have to do is look at the specimen. 🤪
XX or XY
That is the 2 choices, it is called SCIENCE!
You dimlibbys just don’t get it!
It’s easy to cancel games that no one will watch.
Oh, and uh, I agree. Don’t allow an oversized mysogynistic ‘tard to redefine biology and steal from women in the process. F that guy. Or not.
It’s good to see women stand up for there rights.
Let the trans start their own leagues.
We need to push back on all this ridiculous woke crap.
No such thing as transgender. Just a mentally ill person practicing make-believism. Most often a dude with XY DNA who failed at sports with other XY DNA athletes.
I agree 💯%. Definitely a mental problem.
It is refreshing to see some integrity these days. Good for you, Wyoming girls!
Thank you to the teams that are taking a stand against the transgender policies. This is what winning really looks like. I wonder how Slusser feels reflecting back on the times when the mixed up male specifically requested to room with her? That just makes my skin crawl thinking of it.
Let the transgenders get their own leagues. Leave the true girls alone. Women’s’ sports took 50 years to get fully developed and now these people want to destroy it. Shame!
Hopefully WY forfeited the game after San Jose spent the money to travel there!
Why are the women/girls teams pressured to tolerate a biological male playing on the team, in the sport, instead of a male team being told to accept, respect a transitioning, gay, a transgender player on their team, and in the locker room?
Why are men’s sports absolved from the moral responsibility to accept and respect a person’s choice, and women teams expected to pickup the slack?
We need to support these young women athletes by contributing to the teams that are taking a stand, especially if it is your alma mater. I’m so glad these young athletes are leading the way.
Bingo
Good.
If they want to cheat by allowing a male pretending to be female play, they should just be handed the championship. Make a mockery of the entire thing.
.
Hopefully, the other players on the SJ team are embarrassed about the entire thing, and they are going to apply pressure to the university management to stop this idiocy.
Interesting societal issue, considering the murder of Matt Shepard a few years ago. Not gonna lie, as a UW alumni, I couldn’t think of too many better land-grant public universities to attend as a student in one of the colleges, but it’s an issue that will have to cone full circle, one that is never going to solved to the satisfaction of all parties involved with knee-jerk reactions.
I think you’re actually referring to the use of Matt Shepherd’s murder as a political cudgel.
Shepherd was not a nice fellow who was ostracized and killed because he was gay. Shepherd was a prostitute and drug dealer, and his death was directly related to his drug dealing.
He was transformed into a martyr by the homosexual lobby and the mainstream media, in the same way that Kamala has been transformed into a viable candidate for presidency.
I will restate my premise. No matter the events before Mr Sheperd’s life before he was murdered and his body defiled; considering the issue of a college women’s sports team (presumably one in which the players received some remuneration perhaps in terms of scholarship) refusing to play another team because of the sexual orientation of a member on the opposing team is a societal issue undeserving of knee-jerk responses. Let me also remind you the Wyo Cowboys were also well known in the controversy with regard the Black 14 and BYU.
SJSU is playing by the NCAA rules regarding the mandatory year of testosterone-blocking drugs before playing on the team. How sad for Wyoming to choose to lose rather than try to win.
I have to wonder if the use of the term “baller” in the headline is an intentional play on words?
