NCAA backs males competing in women's sports, as showdown looms with Florida over pending law
American Thinker ^ | 04/14/2021 | Thomas Lifson

Posted on 04/14/2021 7:01:01 AM PDT by SeekAndFind

The National Collegiate Athletic Association, a cartel controlling the multibillion-dollar college athletics business, may be painting itself into a corner.  Probably because it is a creature of the higher education industry that has gone off the deep end in its commitment to far-left politics, the NCAA is taking an extreme position on transgenderism and apparently seeking a confrontation with the State of Florida if it passes a law currently under consideration that would limit participation in women's sports to women.

Janita Kan reports for the Epoch Times:

The National Collegiate Athletic Association Board of Governors says that it "firmly and unequivocally supports" transgender biological male athletes competing in women's sports at the college level.

The organization, which regulates college athletics in the United States, responded on April 12 to an ongoing push by Republican-led states to enact measures that seek to protect female athletes, who are likely to have a biological disadvantage if forced to compete against transgender student-athletes who were born male [sic].

"The NCAA Board of Governors firmly and unequivocally supports the opportunity for transgender student-athletes to compete in college sports," the board wrote in the statement. "The NCAA has a long-standing policy that provides a more inclusive path for transgender participation in college sports."

Under the association's policy, a transgender female [sic — a male] athlete is allowed to participate in NCAA women's competitions if the athlete is being treated with testosterone suppression treatment. Similarly, a transgender male [sic — a female] athlete is allowed to participate in NCAA men's competitions if they have received a medical exception for treatment with testosterone.

Even if they take hormone suppressants, males have many years of building musculature that advantages them over females.  It's science!

They want males to destroy female sports.

The contradictions caused their circuits to overload, and their brains exploded.

That can be the only logical reason for allowing men pretending to be women to compete in women’s sports.

The Handicapper General now has pills. He can dope the men down to play with the women. He can dope the women up to play with the men. Neither approach will actually work, but it provides a smokescreen for gender confusion.

There are 7200 of these perverts in Texas according to the internets. Why is the NCAA and government ripping our social, moral and educational fabric apart in this country for such a tiny percentage of perverts? I am absolutely transphobic, terrified of these degenerates. This whole bs is satanic. It has to stop.

The NCAA is simply mouth-breathing here and will take safe harbor behind the first Supreme Court decision that permits states to confirm natural leagues of collegiate competition.

Red states with big SEC teams need to move fast fast fast with similar state legislation -- that will punch down hard on the NCAA.

Further, the NCAA is only a sanctioning body. NOTHING is stopping Florida universities and colleges from binding together on this and creating an ACA, which is long overdue to break the NCAA monopoly.

Ridicule them! It works! That is their major weapon. Give no quarter. Humiliate those faggot trannys mercilessly and without ANY remorse. Sure, it isn’t nice to make fun of people who have mental problems, but these aren’t normal times, and these are not normal individuals. These are guys who simply were non competitive with other males, and winning a trophy means more to them that the honor of actually winning a competition fair and square. Make fun of them and also point out the idiocy of those who support this insanity. Have fun doing it.

The NCAA just died.

Most of the SEC and Big - 12 schools, with politically appointed regents, will not remain affiliated with this. Rona and 2020 showed the world that the CONFERENCES are the powers that be in college football and basketball (the only two that really matter). Some of the people in those conferences have to understand that they can make BANK playing against each other and broadcasting their games over their own networks. Perhaps an existing network will decide they like money more than following the morals of some freak in the Dartmouth faculty lounge.

Maybe at 50 I should identify as female and enter something. What female sport pays the best. Just not basketball, to much running up and down the court.

Exactly.

As a man, I am not able to fight this one.

The SEC is not going to fight something that has the possibility to get them more women’s championship teams.

I can't say for sure but I'm betting they're off somewhere coming to grips with the reality that they were just a political tool of the communists.

Start an alternative collegiate sports organization. Can’t have a governing body that is essentially hostile to sport itself. Effectively, that is what NCAA has become by listening to its leftist academic members - hostile to sports. Commies hate competition.

What’s your source on that? I’d like to see why DC (Not a state) has such a high number when Maryland and Virginia don’t crack the top ten.

Exactly my thought. Let the NCAA have their insanity.

What is the role of the NCAA in negotiating television contracts?
