Kudos to the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA)!
The NAIA's Council of Presidents voted unanimously yesterday to adopt an official policy stating that only biologically female athletes can participate in women's sports. The NAIA represents more than 200 smaller and private colleges and universities with 80,000 athletes.
NAIA President Jim Carr said the organization's "first responsibility was to create fairness and competition in the NAIA." Carr added that the new policy "aligns with the reasons Title IX was created" – to have equal and fair opportunities for women to compete in athletics.
Unfortunately, the NCAA and other athletic programs still allow mediocre male athletes to cheat by claiming they are girls or women. According to SheWon.org, male athletes have stolen more than 300 first-place awards from female athletes.
Notice that this never goes the other way. Women are not demanding the right to compete against men for an obvious reason. They would not win the competition. Men are bigger, faster, and stronger. Female athletes know that.
Yet for some reason, so-called "progressives" think it's just wonderful when boys steal trophies from girls, denying them college scholarships, and crushing their hopes and dreams.
There's nothing progressive about that. It's bizarre, misogynistic, and totally unfair.
