A Rumor?


Rumor has it that the NCAA has reached out to Rob Manfred, the commissioner of Major League Baseball, for advice. His “ready, fire, aim” approach is working out so well for MLB, that the woke at the NCAA figured “why not make a fool of ourselves also.” 

[While MLB enjoyed the highest favorability rating among Republicans of the four major U.S. sports leagues in mid-March — 47 percent — that number plummeted to 12 percent in a survey taken last week, according to new data.

Morning Consult’s Alex Silverman notes that baseball “isn’t the first sport to see its net favorability among Republicans significantly decrease as a result of … embracing social justice issues.” ]

The issue here is not laws passed by elected representatives, but rather transgender athletes playing women’s sports.

At present the Florida legislature is in the process of discussing the transgender-sports issue. House and Senate Republicans in Florida are focused on women’s sports as a priority in 2021, following the path of more than 20 other GOP-leaning states that are using the issue to limit transgender females from competing against those “from-birth females.”

“There is an inherent, biological, undeniable difference between men and women, boys and girls,” said state Rep. Traci Koster (R-Tampa). “Simply put: we were designed differently.”

On 4/12/21, the NCAA put states like Florida on notice, warning that locations that don’t treat all student athletes with “dignity and respect” could be ineligible to host future championship games. 

The national polling is not even close. Rational people do not think that it is appropriate or fair for transgender females to be competing against their children, their grandchildren, or their neighbors’ children.

Really, NCAA? 

Is this really the hill you want to die on?
