GOP Indiana Governor Vetoes Bill Banning Biological Males from Women’s Sports

Town Hall ^ | Mar 22, 2022 | Madeline Leesman

WEak. Instead of signing it he blames the potential of lawsuits and court challenges. He’s bought and paid for by the left. Dump him.

[Dead Corpse]

1700’s actually. Back when we’d just beat you down for being stupid and actually cared about limited government.

[G Larry]

Because the athletes have the most leverage to make an immediate difference.

When they quit enabling the behavior, the behavior will stop.

[caver]

“Maybe he got confused.”

I’m sure he got confused. He kind of just blows with the wind. He’s a big time RINO for sure.

[caver]

“Go Hoosiers! (to Hell).”

I’m a Hoosier and I don’t want Pence or Holcomb.

I think a better lesson to learn here is to stop relying on government to do sh!t that we should be perfectly capable of doing ourselves.

I'd say a stronger case is being made -- almost on a daily basis -- to get sports out of government-funded schools entirely.

Here's one way to help make that happen ...

1. All girls/women should immediately quit any sports team where they are forced to compete against boys/men.

2. When only the trannies are left in girls/women's sports, those teams would disappear because nobody would care about them. Who the hell wants to see a "transgender" swimmer who ranked #500 among male swimmers win first place in a freak show against other mutants?

3. When only boys/men's sports are left, girls/women should file Title IX lawsuits demanding that all scholastic sports teams should have 50% of their rosters reserved for women.

4. If women can't compete safely in those sports -- or even if they can't compete on equal terms as measured by results -- then file additional Title IX lawsuits forcing scholastic sports teams and leagues to change the rules so that men and women are equally represented among winners of events, statistical leaders, etc. The end result here would be an absurd scenario where NCAA football becomes touch football, NCAA basketball is played on courts with rims set at two different heights (one for "men" and one for "women"), women win NCAA track events by running 90 meters faster than their male counterparts run 100 meters, etc.

5. By the time we get to #4 in this list, schools will drop these stupid sports because nobody will be watching them anymore.

6. REAL sports continue to exist as private club teams outside any government oversight.

[Alberta's Child]

You hit on the real issue right there.

Any sporting event that isn't organized primarily for the benefit of the competitors shouldn't even exist.

This means, of course, that the burden of maintaining the integrity of any sport should fall primarily on the competitors, too.

[Roman_War_Criminal]

One more nail in the coffin of this wretched land.

[metmom]

Genesis 6:5 The Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intention of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.

Genesis 6:11-12 Now the earth was corrupt in God’s sight, and the earth was filled with violence. And God saw the earth, and behold, it was corrupt, for all flesh had corrupted their way on the earth.

[Vision]

He's a disgusting fool.

[Dead Corpse]

That would require entirely too much effort, personal expense, and individual integrity.

Much easier to just sit around and bash anyone and everyone who doesn’t do all the heavy lifting for them via government largesse.

[maxwellsmart_agent]

It sounds like Republican Indiana Gov. Eric Holcomb has skeletons in his closet. Why else would he side with the liberals on this issue. Eveerybody knows that it is not fair to allow males to sneak in on women’s sports.

[Theodore R.]

Hoosiers never seem able to find a principled governor.

[Theodore R.]

As Dan Bongino says, “There are Republicans who are Assistant Democrats, but NO Democrats are Assistant Republicans.” (paraphrased)

[Fledermaus]

“In his veto letter, he wrote that the legislation “falls short” when it comes to fairness in K-12 sports in the state. He noted in the letter that other states that have enacted similar legislation have faced lawsuits,...”

The canard of a coward.

[Theodore R.]

Bushes are still in the running in TX, with George Prescott Bush tackling Ken Paxton in the primary runoff in May.

[alstewartfan]

Another waste of humanity. What a creep!

[lodi90]

They are careerists afraid of being targeted by homo money. So they take the path of least resistance.

[Republican Wildcat]

A report from the Associated Press noted that Holcomb previously signaled support for the bill. In his veto letter, he wrote that the legislation “falls short” when it comes to fairness in K-12 sports in the state. He noted in the letter that other states that have enacted similar legislation have faced lawsuits, and that “the issues raised in these lawsuits” should have been brought forward to be addressed.

World salad.
