re: NCAA looking to punish schools in states with transgender laws

Even the science is not on their side.

Per the NCAA, they must suppress their testosterone. That does not change the make up of the man's bosy to a woman.

Bones are different and muscle make up is different and ALWAYS WILL be no matter how much suppression you do, he is still at a major advantage.

Yeah I didn't throw that out there as support for the old flag. I was a huge supporter of a new flag and a change. I was simply trying to get across that Mississippi isn't getting any favors regardless of whether it goes the way of NCAA or national whims, or not.

6 per 1,000 in a country of 330,000,000 is still around 2 million if my math is close. Statistics would say roughly half are male so 1,000,000ish. Of those that would be between 13-30 (competitive age for most sports) would be at best 500,000ish? Of those actually interested in playing sports is probably under 25,000. So the NCAA is claiming to want make national policy for 25-50,000 highschool kids at best. That’s the tipping point?

Those aren't exactly conservative estimates either. According to ncaa.org, there are approximately 8 million high school athletes and 480,000 NCAA athletes for a total of around 8.5 million amatuer athletes. You also need to remove football since there aren't male football and wrestling players trying to play female football/wrestling since there is no female football/wrestling. So if we remove football and wrestling players from the equation, that leaves a total of 3,031,410 male high school athletes and 171,965 male college athletes across all divisions. That's a grand total of 3,203,375 amatuer athletes. If you take 0.6% of that number, you get a total of 19,220 athletes nation-wide. The problem is I still don't believe that 0.6% of the population being transgendered is accurate. Further, the percentage of transgenedered athletes is likely lower than the percentage of trasngendered people in the general population. To take it even further, the number of transgendered male athletes that would actually want to compete in female sports if allowed is very likely a much, much smaller percentage than that of people who "identify" as the opposite sex. The "0.6%" number is from a study that was on the higher end. Other studies show numbers as low as 0.3%, and those numbers also vary greater state-to-state. If we took the 0.3% number, that ~19k amatuer athletes gets cut in half to under 10k.

So in conclusion, in typical liberal fashion, the NCAA is trying to dictate policy based on a subset of the population, at the absolute highest, under 10,000 people in a country of 330 million people. It's madness. But if we are to even accept these transgender numbers as accurate (I personally don't), it still fails to reconcile the inherent biological differences between people born males and people born females. After this country spent years promoting fair play and equal opportunities for female student athletes, this new frontier is basically spitting in the face of female athletes everywhere and taking away opportunities that wouldn't otherwise have. Is this really the road they want to go down? To sacrifice scholarship and playing opportunities for female athletes so a statistically irrelevant portion of the male population can compete in female sports for some super-woke agenda? The separation of sexes in sports has nothing to do with segregating girls from boys for comfort. They're seperated because girls are not physically equipped to compete against boys. For the party that is all about science, it's amazing how much they ignore basic human biology.

Biggest piece of shits are the athletes only changing gender so they can win.

How fricked up must these people be on the inside to do that?

I'm waiting on the money sports for women to get hit.

How much does Wimbledon and the US Open etc pay out in tennis? It's pretty commonly accepted that a Top 100 male would destroy Serena in her prime. Wait until one of them decides to wear a miniskirt and does just that. He could identify as a trans-lesbian, and keep his girlfriend too

Could imagine an all 16 year old boys travel soccer team replacing the kneelers one the woman’s team and getting the gold?

The SEC should say frick the NCAA and run their own leagues with their own rules. Let’s see which withers and dies first from lack of TV funds the SEC or NCAA.

The best thing that could happen is for the Bama baseball team to turn it around and bid for a regional. I realize (or think I realize) Bama currently has no legislation regarding this issue.

BUT, assuming Bama enacted such legislation and the Tide baseball team qualified for and wanted to host a regional, even though it's baseball I suspect the NCAA would suddenly decide to sit this one out.

You are a mizzou fan. Of course you would think it's ok. Yall been woke for a while.

So is the ncaa going to allow men to compete in women's sports? If so, will they allow the record book to be rewritten? How about a record book for men, women and other?

I keep hearing this used as an argument, but probably not a single person on this board has ever seen a situation where that actually happened. I honestly don’t get why so many states are attacking transgender people. I personally don’t really understand transgender people or why someone born a male thinks he is a female, but you know what? That doesn’t personally effect me. If someone born a male wants to be recognized as a female, then let’s show it hem some damn respect and love them instead of hating them. Judge them for their character, not what sex they identify as and get off your damn moral high horse and recognize the he humanity in others. Being a decent human being shouldn’t be that difficult.
