Last week, the women’s volleyball team at the University of Nevada forfeited its game against San Jose State due to the team’s concern about playing against a transgender player. Still, the forfeit came despite the pressure from Nevada administrators to play the game anyway.
Nevada’s athletic department officially announced the forfeit on Friday, noting that the team would not have enough players to take the court.
The school initially announced that the team would play against SJSU, but the women on the team seemed to have other ideas and announced that they did not intend to play. Further, they criticized the school for making decisions for them without even asking their opinions.
Despite the school’s claim that the team would play, the women held a vote and firmly decided not to play, regardless of what the school athletic department said.
Now, the women of the Wolf Pack are speaking out against the pressure they suffered from school administrators.
Members of the team appeared with former NCAA swimming champion and women’s sports advocate Riley Gaines to blast Nevada for trying to force them to play against a transgender player, according to Fox News.
The team’s captain, Sia Liilii, broke down in tears as she recounted school administrators pressuring her and the other women to play despite their worries over their safety for facing a man who identifies as a woman.
“When the news broke, I was stunned, as many of my teammates were. This is not what we signed up for,” Liilii said. Liilii begins speaking at the 20-minute mark.
“Our university had made a decision for us. They released a statement on our behalf....

Good for them; these women have “balls.”
Good for the ladies.
I’m surprised Nevada didn’t go so far as to pull scholarships over the boycott. I guess that could still happen to players who might otherwise return next year. If I were a player, I might be looking to transfer after this season.
This is not what we signed up for
Stay strong ladies, you are on the right side .
THAT MOVE WOULD BACKFIRE HERE IN NEVADA.
Nevada should have had their entire men’s basketball team show up for the contest wearing women’s wigs.
Blacks don’t agree with transgenderism, plus they hate Harris for jailing so many for smoking pot. I’m sure Trump is going to win California.
I haven't watched any of it yet. Just providing the above information.
“I’m sure Trump is going to win California.”
Wait. What?
Saw a news segment on this last week or more. The University President said they had to play. Right quick their Governor said oh no they don’t.
Tulsi and RFKJ showed up that week, encouraged the girls on the trans issue and Trump and attended their game. Mingled with students.
On a YouTube channel.
If all women’s teams boycotted every encounter with a transgender player, this charade would end quickly.
At one point, San Francisco was filled with MAGA hat wearers. Most Californians hate that Harris backed the ‘shoplift $950, without charge’ law, and helped it get passed. She destroyed San Francisco. All Blacks hate her, because she jailed so many for smoking marijuana. Hispanics love Trump. There is a new ad showing Harris jailing innocent parents for student truancy. Rich libs will vote for Harris, but they’re outnumbered by Harris haters.
Few address the truth that the tranny has teammates lacking enough values to refuse to play alongside them.
Misogynist: Someone who hates women as much as they hate each other.
Held a vote? That there was even a need for a vote speaks volumes.
Any woman on that team could simply have said; "Vote. Don't vote. Makes no difference to me. I'm not performing like a circus monkey in a charade pandering to someone mentally ill with Gender Dysphoria - and the sociopaths going along with it."
Hostages?
Lesbians?
Good to know that Trump is on their side. Those in Nevada who are trying force this thing & shame these women should all be ashamed of themselves & were it up to me, these people at the University trying to force this issue would all be jailed.
I’m wondering what would have happened if these women went on the floor as if to play & then just walked off the floor. Questions would be asked & this whole mess might have got more publicity.
