Report the truth
Of course Raw Story can’t report it honestly.
A North Carolina school district has decided to halt all future competition with one of its school’s female volleyball teams after a trans player allegedly injured a player on an opposing team, The National Desk reports.
A male player injured a female player.
A trans player on the Highlands School volleyball team reportedly spike the ball hard at a girl on the opposing team, hitting her in the face and giving her “severe head and neck injuries, resulting in long-term concussion symptoms,” according to the Education First Alliance.
A male player did that. The issue isn’t that he’s trans, it’s that he’s male. Trans is the reason he was allowed to do that, but male is the reason he was able to.
This is really a big deal, because concussions lead to life-long issues which can grow worse over time. As a sufferer myself of two major concussions, one of which occurred at an age not too far removed from these kids’ ages (and hence dealing with some of those issues myself), I’m absolutely appalled at this.
Indeed. The NFL has a whole massive issue over concussions and life-long issues.
Yes, and Mel Farr suffered from CTE due to playing in the NFL. OTL: Former Lions RB Mel Farr had Stage 3 CTE at his death in 2015
Many experts say that the helmets, which are designed to protect the skull from injury, lead to more concussions. The players are using their helmets to spear their opponents, even though it’s a penalty if they get caught, but they don’t realize that their brains suffer the impact inside their skulls that can’t be stopped by helmets. Physics is a tricky thing, and momentum is a rule that can’t be broken.
When I saw how long she was laid out from this impact, my heart sank. I hope that she ends up healing, but the brain is a delicate organ. Boys should not be playing girls’ volleyball.
