Girls’ high school basketball coach banned for forfeiting game over transgender player has no regrets: ‘Asking for injury’

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.

This guy coaches at a Christian school.

It’s remarkable that we live in 2024, and even many religious Freepers haven’t come to grips with the fact that Christians have no business acclimating themselves to a pagan culture.

‘The VPA told CNN in a statement that the school “has every right to teach its beliefs to its own students. It cannot, however, impose those beliefs on students from other public and private schools; deny students from other schools the opportunity to play; or hurt students from other schools because of who those students are.”’

I had to double check who was making the statement as it pertained more to the Christian school students than other public school students.

He’s protecting the girls. Women’s rights groups should be defending them, not leaving common sense individual coaches twisting in the wind.

I know it is better to face these tyrants head on and not try and work around their system and premise but just once I would like to see a team find a bunch of varsity boys who “feel like a woman” on game day and just brutally crush one of these teams that competes with a transsexual. Let the parents who support this crap have their daughters injured.

The highest profile US women’s pro sport’s league-WNBA is still dodging the abomination bullet.

It’s entering the highly suspicious phase at this point.

The people who banned him need a beating. They literally need to be beaten down until they are bloody and blubbering for mercy.

If people doing this sort of stuff got their @$$ beat when they did something completely unreasonable like this, we would have a lot fewer troublemakers in this country.

This person needs to be hit in the mouth. Just repeatedly hit in the mouth.

False premise. What is being *IMPOSED* is fake reality, and it is being *IMPOSED* on normal people.

Weirdos and sickos need to be viewed as abnormal because they are.
