A statement rebuking

Traitors and bullies.

The University of Nevada has issued a statement rebuking its women’s volleyball team for forfeiting a match against a team that includes a transgender player. In recent weeks, several schools have canceled matches against San Jose State, whose roster includes transgender redshirt senior Blaire Fleming.

Monday, players on Nevada’s women’s volleyball team issued a statement to OutKick announcing their decision to forfeit their Oct. 26 match, overriding a previous decision from their university.

“We, the University of Nevada Reno women’s volleyball team, forfeit against San Jose State University and stand united in solidarity with the volleyball teams of Southern Utah University, Boise State University, the University of Wyoming, and Utah State University,” the statement said, referring to the other teams who have forfeited their matches.

And the University scolded them.

“The players’ decision and statement were made independently, and without consultation with the University or the athletic department. The players’ decision also does not represent the position of the University,” the school’s statement said.

“The University and its athletic programs are governed by the Nevada Constitution and Nevada law, which strictly protect equality of rights under the law, and that equality of rights shall not be denied or abridged by this state or any of its subdivisions on account of race, color, creed, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, age, disability, ancestry or national origin.”

Well guess what: if you force them to play against a team with a male member you are abridging their equality of rights. Including “gender identity or expression” in that list cancels “sex” in that list. You can protect women’s rights or trans rights but you can’t protect both.

“The University is also governed by federal law as well as the rules and regulations of the NCAA and the Mountain West Conference, which include providing competition in an inclusive and supportive environment.”

But not for the girls, you dumb fux. It’s not an inclusive and supportive environment for the girls. You might as well say one competitor in a marathon can ride a bike instead of running.
