The NCAA And Its Conferences Have Been Co-opted By Transgender Inc.
Leave The Heavy Lifting To The Women!
Gee, what a surprise! The corrupt and pathetic sports conference mandarins have abrogated their primary responsibility -- protecting the athletes -- by being conspicuously silent on the rather important question of whether men should be allowed to compete against women. The Mountain West Conference has allowed this pathetic and embarrassing situation go on for far longer than it should, simply because they are cowardly and craven and don't want to be tagged with the cocktail-party-invitation ending image of being insufficiently woke and respectful of the beautiful mosaic of cocks and balls in the women's locker room.
But they are taking their marching orders from the vilest organization of them all...the NCAA. Two and a half years ago they allowed Will Thomas, a mediocre male swimmer from U. Penn magically to grow his hair, put on a woman's swim suit, and be a chick! He didn't even have to shave his legs, since that's what swimmers do anyway. He won the 500 yard freestyle at the 2022 NCAA championships against a field of real women who didn't have the advantage of male puberty, male bone structure and size, and probably 15 years of training...as a man! That seems fair. But the real story is that the women volley ball players of the Mountain West Conference have more balls than the conference bigwigs. Six teams forfeited when asked to play against the San Jose State University women/men. Good for them, and good for their schools for supporting their decisions, or at least not pitching a woke fit and squawking about inclusion and equity and beautiful mosaics. But the conference cowards have allowed this situation to go on for the entire season, because, well, they are cowards, have no moral clarity, and are more interested in the perks than doing their jobs. U.S. Sen. Risch Says Mountain West 'Failed' Boise State After SJSU ForfeitFallout continues from the shocking decision by the Boise State women's volleyball team to forfeit its Mountain West Tournament semifinal match against San Jose State to protest the inclusion of transgender Blaire Fleming on the SJSU team. On Thursday, United States Senator Jim Risch (Idaho) posted on social media and blasted the Mountain West for continuing to allow Fleming (a biological male) to compete in women's volleyball. "The @MountainWest has failed our Boise State women’s volleyball team," Risch posted on X. "These women have worked too hard for too long to be denied their right to fair, safe competition. We must fight to protect women’s sports."
It's nice that a United States Senator has finally noticed this issue, but the season is almost over, and perhaps something should have been done a bit earlier. It is obvious that the sporting authorities in the United States are bought and paid-for by the current insanity that prevents this obvious, clear issue from being exposed. But the women of those six teams that forfeited should be commended for their integrity, respect for sports, and bravery in the face of the media criticism and unwavering support for a dude pretending to be a chick. President Trump was asked what to do about this issue, and his answer was simple:
Q: "How do you plan on addressing the transgender issue in women's sports? I have 9 grandchildren, 6 of them female, all playing sports. We are very concerned for their safety." TRUMP: "It's such an easy question. We're not going to let it happen."
Yup.

Why do we need any of it? You wanna play volleyball? Great. Join a volleyball league. But why does that league have to be run by the college itself? And worse why do I as a taxpayer have to pay for your scholarship just because you’re good at volleyball? I’d much rather have that money go to someone who is good at oh I dunno math or biology.

TRUMP: "It's such an easy question. We're not going to let it happen.
While I admire the moral clarity, I don't automatically applaud when someone asserts power without identifying what gives him that power. We were furious when Biden did it, and I'm no happier when Trump does it.
He needs to identify the source of his power. If he has it, great, but I haven't heard it yet.

Thank you CBD. I’ve been following this situation. Three things:

2 The coach is a weasel and deserves much criticism because he’s a coward and a weasel
3. Another truly female player on that team has sued her own team and yet continued to play which I find strange….

That is a nice setup the NCAA has.
They basically give talented players free room and board for four years and a free 'education.' Those people work for them without pay while the schools make millions in revenue.

That's mostly true, except for the University of Nevada. After the courageous women on the team voted to forfeit, the school initially claimed the match would go forward. I guess the administration had to do some deep thinking before they concluded that the match would be difficult to play without the team members.

No argument when it comes to the idea that EOs were grossly abused by the Dems and should be revoked by Trump. After all, if it can be enforced by EO, it can be not enforced by EO.
IANAL, so I'm unsure what the parameters are governing what is and isn't a legitimate EL, but I suspect that "I'm the president, and I say so" won't always pass constitutional muster. Perhaps Whig or Elric could weigh in.

Dictator my ass. Getting rid of this trans shit is the complete opposite of being a dictator. It's following the law.
>>"This case presents a direct conflict between two interests protected by Title IX: the interest in providing fair competition for biological females, which has long been recognized as a significant governmental interest under Title IX, and the interest in providing transgender girls with opportunities to participate in girls’ sports, which is now protected by a Connecticut state statute," Chatigny said in his ruling.

Keep doing what you're doing. Seems to have worked well. Imagine if Harris had won? You think the next dem won't run roughshod over our "rights". I've lived through 14 presidents and seen good and bad. Repukes always play by the rules of "fair play". The dems play for keeps by the rules they fabricate along the way.

Title IX gives Trump the power. A federal judge in Connecticut has already agreed.
I think that's a far cry from saying Trump has the power to compel schools to compete. It's still being decided.
But in a 55-page ruling issued Tuesday, U.S. District Judge Robert N. Chatigny, who initially dismissed the lawsuit in 2021, switched his stance, declining to dismiss the legal action a second time while also pointing out there is "little guidance" on how courts should deal with the issue of transgender athletes.

As I pointed out above, there’s a real female on the SJSU team who’s sued her own team because she doesn’t want the fake female around…. And yet she stays on the team and apparently trades high fives with the tranny during matches. It seems to me, oh I don’t know… contradictory and counterproductive
Posted by: LinusVanPelt at December 01, 2024 12:18 PM (ZtAny)
______
My understanding is also that the player who sued (the team captain) alleges that the tranny and opposing teams conspired to throw games and purposefully injure the team captain. Perhaps she stays out of loyalty to her other teammates, in addition to needing a scholarship.

Damage people that oppose your agenda
Do this consistently for years and you get the NCAA or the Senate. Especially when your nominal opposition always screams "that's not who we are!" when it comes to actually opposing what the left is doing.

Why do we need any of it? You wanna play volleyball? Great. Join a volleyball league. But why does that league have to be run by the college itself? And worse why do I as a taxpayer have to pay for your scholarship just because you’re good at volleyball? I’d much rather have that money go to someone who is good at oh I dunno math or biology.

I've read a couple bits that college football now does have money payments to the players but I don't know how they work it. 'signing bonuses funded by the boosters' for the stars or actual pay for all the players or what.

>>This power needs to be broken...in the future. Trump better be planning on using it in the now to revert everything they did under Biden...and Obama.
X has been a great source of amusement since the election but it's been going into ludicrous speed since Trump announced he's nominating Kash Patel for FBI Director.
Corrupt douchenozzles like Jake Sullivan, one of the leaders of the Russia collusion lie, and Andrew McCabe are whining about keeping politics out of the FBI.

I saw a documentary not that long ago, about how NCAA and the high school equivalent don't recognize cheerleading as a sport, and so the extent to which the athletes are protected by whatever oversight there is, is basically non-existent
That cheerleading has evolved from cheering on the sidelines to basically group gymnastics is kind of odd when you think about it.
I get that there are boosters for this in HS/College but the audience is really, really small, with basically no professional career options (the NFL/NBA/etc cheerleaders don't do this) and as you note it is very very dangerous.

What Air America forgot was that Rush spent years in Bakersfield honing his craft before going national.
Turns out that doing good talk radio is hard - and Air America wanted to skip the whole "learning how to do it" phase.
Posted by: The ARC of History! at December 01, 2024 12:38 PM (uxCna)
And of course Rush got as big and influential as he did because there were people who wanted to hear what he had to say.
He'd have just been a local DJ, if he didn't have an audience.
It's the audience that has influence. They didn't understand that.

Probably not but it'd sure be a shame if it did. Yeah, a darn shame.

I have for some time pointing the natural progression of this if it continues unchecked - first, trans men will push out all actual women from women’s sports due to the competitive advantage. Then for a short time there will be actual men’s sports and mediocre men’s sports, called women sports. As soon as the novelty wears off that will die, because no one wants to watch that shit.
And the final stage is we go back to how things were pre-WW2, men’s sports only and Title IX a totally dead letter. Everything old will be new again.

You think maybe, just maybe taking away their ability to do what they do might have a better outcome than just mimicking what they do?
Burt, I am 100% in agreement with you in principle but where is the evidence that we can "take away their ability" to do whatever they want? Now, it doesn't necessarily follow that we should mimic them but I can see some logic to the argument from a purely transactional POV.

Thinking back to my college days I certainly knew female athletes but their interest level was generally much lower then the men's. Hell I know men that were in college purely to play basketball (and they were NOT going to play in the pros or even semi-pros afterwards) - all the female athletes I knew were more focused on getting a degree. Now...some of those degrees were BS* but...at least they weren't there to waste 4 years playing sportsball.
*I remember asking one woman about to graduate with a Women's Studies degree what she planned on doing after college with it and her getting furious with me...

Is that correct? The rules governing body is claiming the rules are being followed by claiming a man is a woman but do the official rules actually say that?
If it was my team I'd have the athletes show up on the field. When the tranny shows up grab the ball and hold it. Let the ref know you'll continue playing when all men are off the playing surface.

For example you could use Title 9 to harm every college with a tranny on its team with massive penalties and bans from college sports. The Trump admin should be planning to do this and do it hard.

Speaking of PBS, they have a three part documentary on Julius Caesar that's heavy on this one populous leader destroyed the Roman Republic that had prospered for 500 years! If you were to happen to think of a certain orange fellow as a similar threat, well, that would be understandable. (This argument also ignores Marius, Sulla, Catalina, Milo, Clodius etc. etc.)

For example you could use Title 9 to harm every college with a tranny on its team with massive penalties and bans from college sports. The Trump admin should be planning to do this and do it hard.

Basically, you could just state that having trannies on womens' teams is a form of cheating, like having pro players on an "amateur" team.

Bongino says the problem with the feebers is after 9/11, they decided to be an intelligence agency, and got away from shoe-leather police work.
Now, I think that's a bit naive, but whatever. He's very much behind Kash Patel as the answer, to get them back to being a law enforcement agency (if they ever were).
Again, will it work? I guess we'll see. Andrew McCabe's panties are sure in a wad over Patel's nomination.

(The number of rotund soldiers you might see on base did not go down.)
I have no doubt that the correct cost to feed an active person was on a ledger somewhere, but those dollars did not show up.
This graft was evident when it came to equipment and travel pay, every fucking aspect of dealing with the army above brigade level.

There's a side-note top this volleyball story that few people know about:
The male volleyball player pretending to be a woman has (or at least had) a YouTube channel on which he posted throughout his high school and college career several highlight reels, all focusing on his superiority of spiking the ball. They all had titles like "Blaire Fleming DOMINATES the opposition with powerful spikes!", and the videos would show him smashing the ball over and over again into girls' faces and/or knocking them back on their butts with the force of the ball.
The videos were up for a while as this scandal unfurled, but a few weeks ago -- he took them all down. Ooops. Bad optics.
Now the team downplays Blaire Fleming's skills and superiority, barely mentioning him or ever featuring him. Because to do so would look like they're taunting their opponents.
The male volleyball player pretending to be a woman has (or at least had) a YouTube channel on which he posted throughout his high school and college career several highlight reels, all focusing on his superiority of spiking the ball. They all had titles like "Blaire Fleming DOMINATES the opposition with powerful spikes!", and the videos would show him smashing the ball over and over again into girls' faces and/or knocking them back on their butts with the force of the ball.

Having watched any number of Steve Inman videos, he likes to point out that in places like Brazil, street justice is legal.
I'm not saying that's the answer, but I'm not saying it isn't.

Preventing a rape isn't "street justice", it is self-defense. And there are no cameras in locker rooms, right?

Aside from his acting career, he's also prominently into the Dali Lama, condemns Chi Nah all the time, and is otherwise a lefty.
Always seems to have hot women around him though, so I wouldn't think he has any need for gerbils.

Th Attack on Oct. 7 was of course an incredibly evil and vicious attack - but I begin to suspect that future historians will say that the true significance of Oct 7, 2023 is that it set in motion the forces that led to the great regional realignment of 2025.

I don't read that any of these transgenders have had any of the hormones or surgeries. More that this is a lark and they'll be male again post college.
But will it be that simple? I imagine one ten years hence trying to explain to a woman he wants to marry that he pretended to be female for a few years. Or to his children. Or to an employer. They can't escape this distasteful history.
And where were their parents, to allow them to do this?

The other thing that's been exposed - frankly - is the American delusion of sports as a virtue. The idea that hitting or catching a ball teaches some broader lesson.
It does not.
I disagree. For instance, Little Winger said that being a high school quarterback made him a more effective soldier in Iraq.

I was just looking up the source for quote, "The Battle of Waterloo was won on the playing fields of Eton," and was disappointed to find out that the Duke of Wellington most likely never actually said it.
It would have fit in so nicely with this conversation, too.

The US Congress seems to have recently had issues with transgender bathroom use when one of these freaks won an election and several Congressional women had the vapors that they'd have to share a public restroom with one.
But do something about it in women's sports.

Trigger alert for Wicked.
"“…seeing beloved characters being mistreated, especially when Elphaba’s skin-colour is used to demonise her as the ‘Wicked Witch’, may be upsetting and poignant for some audiences.”

Green, huh? I guess that might offend the Irish.

Some of the online fellers are saying Wicked isn't all that woke, that it pretty accurately follows the Broadway show.
The consensus seems to be, if you don't like gay musicals, then it's not for you, but if you do, then it's solid, well made, and entertaining.

While I admire the moral clarity, I don't automatically applaud when someone asserts power without identifying what gives him that power. We were furious when Biden did it, and I'm no happier when Trump does it.
He needs to identify the source of his power. If he has it, great, but I haven't heard it yet.

It has surely been noted - all schools are whores that will do anything for money. Or, more correctly, they will make students and parents do anything for money. My kids school makes everyone fill out a form to indicate (or deny) working for the federal government in particular the military because if kids don't go to on-base schools they local school gets a stipend (presumably because on-base housing doesn't pay school tax).
Every year, every family has to complete that form because one parent might send their kid to a school thirty miles from the nearest base...

Military service isn't meant to be easy, but if you were brought up to be a man, then you fit right in, and can be quite effective as a fighting man.
If you weren't, then it's going to be difficult for you in ways that it isn't for young men who were raised right. With or without football.

She has no desire to see the movie because whatever review she read said "it was very dark" she is dealing with a spouse with a probably fatal medical condition . That's dark enough. She doesn't need any other darkness in her life right now.

I watched The Long Goodbye, an Elliott Gould movie from the '70s. I pretty much liked this noir although it's more atmosphere than anything else. One thing I did like that I'd never seen before was the use of the theme song. It's heard throughout the movie but usually only excerpts and as a part of the plot. For example, in one scene, a lounge pianist attempts to learn the song as Philip Marlowe, Elliott Gould, drinks and converses with the bartender. In another scene, an amateur marching band plays it while leading a funeral procession. It’s playing on the car radio as Marlowe drives etc. The lyrics reveal that the long goodbye is the missed opportunity you didn't take, particularly romantic, although it's defined more darkly in the plot. Also, Sterling Hayden is great as a faded author who is drunk and crazy.

I enjoy the own goal commentary. JackStraw I sympathize with people refusing to read.
On day one the EOs are revoked on qualifying trans women (biological men) as women under Title IX. You ask where Trump gets the power, it is there.
Now does Congress perhaps have to clarify its meaning to stop some random judge or the next democrat admin in about 12 years changing it back? Probably. But Trump cannot do that. He can only do what his power allows. Which is what a few people asked about in the first place.
Simple. Unless you wish to make it difficult. Then I cannot help you.

Boot camp is one of those things that seems easier after you've been transformed by it. SOI is what kicked my ass. I made it though but realized my dream of going Recon was unrealistic.
