The Boise State women’s volleyball team has recently made headlines after their announcement late last week that they would not be competing against San Jose State over the weekend because of the team’s transgender player. As a result of the biological male on San Jose State’s roster, Boise State opted to forfeit the match.
According to a statement from Boise State Athletics, “Boise State volleyball will not play its scheduled match at San José State on Saturday, Sept. 28. Per Mountain West Conference policy, the Conference will record the match as a forfeit and a loss for Boise State.” The school further noted that it would resume its season in an upcoming match against the Air Force on October 3.
“Boise State women’s volleyball announces it will not play San Jose State because the team’s best player is a male. Sources close to the situation tell me the players have the complete support of the school, coaches a, and parents,” Outkick Sports founder David Hookstead commented on the news, sharing a screenshot of the statement from Boise State Athletics.
Subsequently, users on social media praised the college for standing firm and refusing to play Boise State. “These women deserve to be applauded. It was a team decision to not play against a male dominating everyone else, and they made the decision knowing some people would attack them for it. Next two games are at home. I have a feeling it will be packed attendance!” Hookstead said in a follow-up statement.
“Stand with Boise State for not caving to the woke nonsense of men playing in women’s sports. It’s not only highly unfair. It’s dangerous,” another person wrote. “For boise is state its just one game, but for for san jose it’s so far been 2 they haven’t even able to play. If more teams do this, San Jose will have to act, they can’t not play the entire season,” another user added.
One person praised the school, “This is how it’s done. Having the school back them is HUGE. For those who don’t know, women’s volleyball is one of the few sports that is a “headcount” sport and players get 100% ride. Big risk for girls to standup and put that full ride on the line if the school didn’t back them.”
Similarly, another user commented, “That is fantastic!!! Biological women in sports should never have to tolerate biological men in their sports, who either have a mental illness in believing they are a woman, or do it intentionally because they’re sub-standard as a male in their own sports..Time to end the lunacy.”
Noting the absurdity that has resulted from the deterioration of gender norms, one person wrote, “Being a girl sucks!! Some dude feels like kicking a bunch of girls butts in any given sport, and they let him and give him a scholarship! I guess we need to change the language, the former men’s team should be the “Premier” team, where anyone, I mean anyone can play if they make the team. And the former Women’s team is now the “XX Chromosome” team where our daughters that we love so much can compete!”
