The safety of female athletes should not come second to those of biological men.
Hi Friend,
Do you remember this past June when Megan Rapinoe, USA soccer player and progressive activist, stated “I'm sorry, your kid's high school volleyball team just isn't that important.” Well, while I hate the circumstances, the latest news from North Carolina proves that statement wrong.
Your child’s high school volleyball team IS that important.
If you have not heard, last week a female high school volleyball athlete was left with a severe concussion after being hit in the head with a 70 mph hit from a biological male athlete competing on the opposing women’s volleyball team. On top of the female athlete being seriously injured, this has led to multiple schools choosing to forfeit the matches against the team with a biological male in favor of their female athletes’ safety.
While we applaud the schools taking action to protect their female athletes, it is not right for these high school volleyball players to have to give up the opportunity to compete. In volleyball, like other competitive team sports, there is a clear distinction between the men’s and women’s game.
There are many physiological differences between male and female athletes, as well as a large distinction between men’s and women’s sports, particularly volleyball. The speed of the men’s game is faster. The fastest serve in men’s volleyball is 83 mph; whereas the female’s record is 62.8 mph. The men’s net is exactly 7 1/2 inches higher than the women’s, and the men’s average height for players is 6 inches higher than the women’s. This is not only about fairness but it’s very much about safety.
The safety of female athletes should not come second to the interests of biological men identifying as female. We are past the point now of denying there is an issue. Now we need to speak up and do something about it.
How many female athletes need to get injured, lose spots on athletic teams, and miss out on scholarships and medals before the progressive Left opens their eyes and stops pushing their agenda of “inclusiveness” at the expense of female athletes?
