Hundreds of athletes ask NCAA to forbid Idaho from hosting sports events in response to transgender athlete legislation

BOISE — Dozens of advocacy organizations and hundreds of athletes are asking the NCAA to move college sports events out of Idaho in response to a state law that bans transgender women from participating in women’s sports.

The coalition argues that Idaho’s law “blatantly targets an already-marginalized community,” and runs contrary to the values of the NCAA, which governs collegiate athletics. Athletes argue that Idaho should be banned from hosting NCAA events as long as the law is in place.

“This is the time for the NCAA to stand on the right side of history and support the rights of all athletes in Idaho to compete in the sports they love,” reads a letter signed by more than 400 student athletes. “…With HB500 remaining law in Idaho, it is impossible for the NCAA to host events that are inclusive and safe for all athletes.”

The letters specifically ask the NCAA to move the first and second rounds of the 2021 Men’s Division I Basketball Championship games away from Boise State University, as first reported by Sports Illustrated on Wednesday morning.

Idaho became the first state to ban transgender female athletes in women’s sports in March, when Gov. Brad Little signed the so-called “Fairness in Women’s Sports Act,” written by Rep. Barbara Ehardt, R-Idaho Falls, and Sen. Mary Souza, R-Coeur d’Alene.

How do you think the court ruling today will influence their decision?

Then there is article the NCAA is listening.

The NCAA responded Thursday to a request by dozens of advocacy groups to move 2021 Men's Basketball NCAA Tournament first and second round games out of Boise, Idaho, due to a new state law banning transgender women from playing on women's sports teams.

[…]

In a statement, the NCAA said the law "conflicts with the NCAA's core values of inclusivity, respect and the equitable treatment of all individuals," and the law will be discussed by its Board of Governors in August. 

"NCAA championships are open to everyone, and the Association is committed to assuring that its events are safe and healthy for all who attend," the NCAA statement said. "It is our clear expectation that all NCAA student-athletes will be welcomed, treated with respect, and have nondiscriminatory participation wherever they compete."

So maybe the boycott and the Supreme Court decision will them think twice… Naw, they’re Republicans.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Donald Trump said on Monday he will live with the U.S. Supreme Court decision that a federal law barring workplace discrimination protects gay and transgender employees.

Speaking to reporters at the White House, Trump said the ruling was a very powerful decision.

The worlds most outspoken person only said… it “was a very powerful decision.”

Pink News UK reported,

Donald Trump had a bland response to Supreme Court ruling.

But asked about the ruling on Monday, Donald Trump issued a bland response and appeared unaware that his own Department of Justice had opposed the ruling.

He told reporters: “They’ve ruled. I’ve read the decision, and some people were surprised, but they’ve ruled and we live with their decision. That’s what it’s all about.

“We live with the decision of the Supreme Court, very powerful. A very powerful decision, actually, but they have so ruled.”

I want to see what he does now.

Will he rollback the…

• The stripping of healthcare for us?
• Banning of trans servicemembers?
• Title IX Department of Education Office of Civil Rights rulings against us?
• Will they drop the case against trans athletes?
• And the hundreds of other things his administration has done to us?

Or will we have to fight in court to get those changes thrown out?
