The Right-Wing Bigots…

Are at it again! And once again it is about sports team with a trans player, or a possible trans player.
Nevada has forfeited its Mountain West Conference women’s volleyball match against San Jose State, two days after the game was moved over concerns Wolf Pack players wouldn’t show up.

Nevada played at Fresno State on Thursday night. Rather than going on to San Jose State for Saturday’s match, the school announced the contest is off "due to not having enough players to compete."

"Per Mountain West Conference policy, the match will be recorded as a conference loss for Nevada," the school said in its statement.
Why? Why did they forfeit a game?
Nevada volleyball captain Sia Liilii told the Reno Gazette Journal on Oct. 15 that the team would not play San Jose State following reports there is a transgender player on the Spartans team. The woman has played at San Jose State in previous seasons, and there were no issues with her participation until right-wing activists became involved in recent months.
The rabble rousers have once again stirred up the right-wing bigots. Notice two things first is they don’t really know she is transgender! Second she played in other seasons with no problems!
“The decision to move the location of the match has been made in the best interest of both programs and the well-being of the student-athletes, coaches, athletic staff and spectators,” the schools said in their statement.
Study after study have found that there is no difference between boys and girls strength until puberty, and even then it take a few years for boy to develop their strength. When a child takes puberty blockers it prevents the child from developing muscles, it keeps the child locked into pre-puberty muscle development.

The sports issues was mentioned by Shannon Minter in his Keynote address on Saturday and after his talk I went up to him and told him about our Amici Curiae brief in the case about trans sports in Connecticut…
This commitment to sports participation fosters academic achievement; helps athletes manage social pressures; teaches valuable social skills such as leadership, courage, communication, collaboration, discipline, and resilience; and provides the foundation for building emotional maturity and lasting friendships. Trans-exclusive policies deprive transgender athletes of these benefits by effectively prohibiting their participation in sports.
But the case is being reheard in federal court, an Appeal’s court sent it back to the lower court to rehear.

These skills are no longer the driving force in school sports… it has become a moneymaker! It is win at all cost… winning is everything and losing is for losers!
 
 
I'm driving back to Connecticut to vote today and then back to the Cape on Wednesday.

Update: 6:30PM

A comedian at a Donald Trump rally called Puerto Rico a "floating island of garbage", sparking fury from Republicans and Democrats and accusations of racism.

The comic, Tony Hinchcliffe, was among the speakers at the Madison Square Garden in New York on Sunday. He also made a series of jokes that leant on racist stereotypes.

A Trump adviser distanced the former president from the Puerto Rico joke, which was also denounced by Trump's Democratic rival, Kamala Harris. Harris herself was the target of another Trump warm-up speaker who also sparked controversy.

The furore came as one of the world's top Latin celebrities, Puerto Rican rapper Bad Bunny, endorsed Harris for president.

In his joke, Hinchcliffe, known for his comedy podcast Kill Tony, said: "There’s a lot going on. I don’t know if you know this but there’s literally a floating island of garbage in the middle of the ocean right now. I think it’s called Puerto Rico."
You know this reflects the racism with Trump and in the Republican party that they didn't recognize it as racist!
