Will states protect girls’ sports or bow to the NCAA?
Dozens of states are proposing laws to protect women’s sports from the transgender agenda. A few of them already have laws in place.
This is in response to the dilemma in which gender-confused people, particularly biologically males who think they are females, are being allowed to compete in girls’ sports and share the dressing rooms with them. Often, the bio males win.
This has been a controversial issue for years and it returned to the forefront when President Biden, on his first day in office, signed an executive order to allow high school and college athletes to compete in sports with the gender with which they identify, which means boys who identify as girls can compete in girl’s sports and vice versa.
Many states have responded by passing laws banning such a practice in order to protect women, however, the NCAA, jumped in last week, saying they would consider pulling events from states where such laws are in effect.
This is a threat.
This pattern is also familiar.
We remember when North Carolina passed a law in which people could only use the bathroom of their biological sex back in 2016. This was in response to the Obama administration forcing a measure in which people can use the bathroom designated with the gender with which they identify.
While Christians, conservatives and reasonable people with common sense applauded this move, there was backlash from liberals and LGBTQ groups crying “discrimination.” Entertainment celebrities were canceling their scheduled concert appearances, the NBA pulled out its All-Star game and the NCAA removed sporting events it had scheduled for the future from the Tar Heel State. Other city and state governments imposed travel bans there.
Eventually, after the governor who signed it into law lost re-election, his successor repealed the law and the NCAA lifted the ban.
Obviously, North Carolina government cared more about having revenue coming in than protecting women and girls.
In the case of transgender sports bans, will these states who pass such laws stand up to the NCAA, the Biden administration and corporate bullies? Or will they repeal these laws in fear of losing revenue?
There is already pushback, and it’s not coming from the people in the U.S. Capital. Besides the NCAA, it is also coming from LGBTQ activist ally groups such as the American Civil Liberties Union, who are ignorantly calling banishment of biological males from females sports “discrimination.”
This should not be the case. Yet, it shows how debased our culture has become (Romans 1). Biological males do not belong in women’s sports. By allowing them to do so, they are winning events easily because they are physically stronger than the biological females they are competing against. It is not fair and it’s not right. Many young female athletes are being robbed of recognition and scholarship opportunities as a result.
Yet, ignorant thinking people are carrying the mindset of “let them be what they want to be.” Some of these people are involved in positions of power, whether it be educators pushing LGBTQ indoctrination in our schools, encouraging children to be the gender opposite of what they are born with, to government and corporate leaders supporting such nonsense.
It is tragic that the NCAA, an organization that is supposed to be a model for respect, integrity and responsibility is supporting such immorality and calling opposition to it “discrimination.” it’s insulting and offensive for it to threaten to pull their major sporting events from states that righteously impose such laws.
However, more states are proposing such laws. If that is the case, maybe the NCAA will get the message that they can’t win because they’ll have less states to choose from. Or it will have limited options by its own standards if they choose to stay with it. We may see events limited to left-leaning states where biological males are allowed to compete in female sports. There are a handful of them out there.
Anytime you stand up for what is right, pushback is going to come. That is what is happening as the NCAA, LGBTQ groups and allies such as the ACLU, push back against states who are protecting their female athletes. It is almost like a test. If these state governments care for their female athletes, they will stand against the totalitarian bullies in government, corporations, the entertainment industry and sadly, even the sports world.
Let the NCAA, MLB, NBA, NFL and NHL pull their sporting events out of your state. When you look at the big picture, they’re showing what they value and you should not cater to them if they stand in opposition to yours. States that back off their laws, whether proposed or in place, are showing they care more for their revenue than protecting their female athletes and are yielding more power to the growing tyranny in our liberal-run government and corporations.
