The San Jose State women’s volleyball team finds itself at the center of a storm as the Spartans make a run toward their first NCAA Tournament appearance in more than two decades.
Overshadowing the program’s strong season are national talk-show hosts and politicians weighing in on one of its players. At issue is the participation of transgender women in women’s sports, which has taken on political implications
......
On Thursday night, the University of Nevada, Reno, became the latest team to call off a game against the Spartans, citing not enough players.
......
So far this season, Southern Utah, Boise State, Wyoming, Utah State and now Nevada have canceled games.
......
In a lawsuit filed against the NCAA, plaintiffs cited unspecified reports asserting there was a transgender player on the San Jose State volleyball team, even naming her.
......
The Associated Press is withholding the player’s name because she has not publicly commented on her gender identity and through school officials has declined an interview request.
......
The Independent Council on Women’s Sports is funding a lawsuit against the NCAA for allowing transgender women to compete in women’s sports. It’s an action taken under the landmark 1972 federal antidiscrimination law known as Title IX and aims “to remedy sex discrimination against women in college athletics.” Riley Gaines, a former University of Kentucky swimmer and activist who campaigns against trans women in women’s sports, is a plaintiff.
Title IX prohibits sexual discrimination in federally funded education.
San Jose State senior setter and co-captain Brooke Slusser joined the lawsuit as a plaintiff on Monday.
Slusser said in a recent filing that her teammate hits the volleyball with more force than others on the team and that throughout practices this season she and some teammates, who are not named in the lawsuit, have been afraid of suffering concussions from being hit in the head by a volleyball.
A 2023 Gallup survey found that 69% of Americans say trans athletes should be allowed to compete only on teams that conform with their birth-assigned gender, up from 61% in 2021.
.......
World Aquatics has effectively banned transgender women from competing in women’s events. World Athletics, the governing body for track and field, has done the same.
