Riley Gaines has finally came out and told her story and what it was like at the NCAA championships. Glad she is speaking out...she is more than deserving.

Crazy is that they were not forewarned that they were sharing a locker room with him. Stated she turned around to a male dropping his pants with male genitalia exposed and he is watching them change and undress.

Very valid point that not long ago this would be sexual assault. Now it is being rewarded naming this "it" NCAA women's athlete of the year

Great Interview with Riley

Great Interview with Riley

We need more women who are still in college to say something, although I'm sure a lot of them are afraid to step out of line. Even at Clemson, some of the seemingly mandatory "Pride" events seem pretty likely to chill any different points of view. At any rate, this can't just be seen as some sort of conservative political cause or some people will just circle the wagons.

I just do not see how anyone can justify it. A dude with his junk hanging out in the women's locker room claiming to be a woman...ummm....dude...

Thinking that is OK is insanity. I am surprised @24TIGER didn't take it out. But I bet he is proud of his daughter's teammate to speak out.

I mean she said the NCAA did not even let her keep the trophy after they tied for 5th because they only had one trophy. She got one for a photo op and then it was given to Lia to take home. No explanation. Just told her that hers would be in the mail. The reason is because they chose to give the one there to the male

Can’t be better said in the political climate. Cowards allowing the grift within “their party”. When will Matt Gaetz, MTG, AOC, Maxine Waters, Paul Gosar, Kari Lake, Rashida Tlaib, and others put out to pasture by their party?

Are you part of the duopoly or an American?

 

[kingkyle1008]

Women and trans should not be allowed to play sports if we are being honest

 

[CrouchingTiger72]

Two ways this ends.

1) A very expensive class action lawsuit brought against the schools allowing it or against the NCAA

2) The biological women just don't compete in that event any time a person identifying as one shows up.

Don't be fooled at the end of the day certain folks want sports to die period and they will do anything to kill your or my interest in it.

If I am a parent of a female athlete that was in that locker room when homeboy dropped his pants and his junk was exposed, I am suing the NCAA for sexual harassment. If my 16 year old daughter came home today and said that she saw a male's junk in her high school locker room, I am on two wheels into that high school tomorrow morning demanding answers.

I would not be silent. You can bet your ass on that regardless of what media, liberals who support this shit, or whomever else had something to say about me.

The NCAA literally let a dude and let's not be mistaken...it is a dude...in the female locker room

I agree, but the "duopoly" thing is silly. It has far more to do with people being principled rather than ambitious, or about certain individuals capturing parties for their own personal brand advancement. But we're really going off on an unnecessary tangent.

 

[DimeBeerNight]

We really do need more college women to stand up against this and have more people publicly support them when they do and when "the mob" inevitably comes for them. That includes administrations, some of the biggest cowards you'll ever find. Regardless what's happening in the public eye, these women are furious behind closed doors and they should be.

Just a quick note on Lia. 400th(ish) ranking in the men. Number one ranking in the women.

There's a lot of nuanced discussion involved with transgender issues, but this in particular is pretty cut and dry.

Yes, but NPR says that there's no proof that men have an advantage over women in sports.

2020 was the best example of it in my short lifetime.

"We're the easiest to fool because we believe we can't be fooled."

Its extremely difficult for people to admit that and most will refuse to. Ever wonder where will be in 100 years? They'll wonder how we got there, but they wont be able to dig us up and ask us.

 

[Casa_del_Tigre]

I ran a 5k two weeks ago and finished 10th. If I had identified as a woman I would have came in 1st.

Vermont high school banned from tournaments after refusing to play team with transgender player

The punishment stems from Mid Vermont Christian School forfeiting out of the Vermont Division IV girls basketball state tournament

www.cbssports.com

*Cliff Notes* Girl basketball team forfeited their game in the state championships against a team that had a boy playing on their girls basketball team. They took the L out of safety concerns for their players. The administrators solution? They banned the girls high school from participating in state championships in all sports.

I hate it but this shit has gone to far. I have always believed in equality for race and gender. I also believe people need to do what makes them happy not what others think should make them happy but at some point stupidity has to stop and let common since take over. It’s not fair to put real women at a disadvantage so a person who wants to be a woman can feel like they are. At some point women will not be able to compete in any sport. Political correctness and cancel culture makes this world crazier and crazier. Tiger illustrated is the only form of social media I use and don’t plan to change anytime soon. Didn’t ESPN do the same thing with Bruce Jenner?

Great Interview with Riley

Wait I thought he was a trans gender and didn’t have twigs and berries anymore?

 

[ChicagoTiger85]

It really just means whatever you identify as. I think some sports require you to be medically cross-dressing by taking hormones, though.

 

[SDTiger9]

I agree, but the "duopoly" thing is silly. It has far more to do with people being principled rather than ambitious, or about certain individuals capturing parties for their own personal brand advancement. But we're really going off on an unnecessary tangent.

They are only able to “capture” parties for their own if the party allows it. Therefore, the party is the enabler by not policing their own card carrying Dem or Pub.

(The principal is the same here. Organizations ALLOWING extremists to take their reigns because they are too weak to stand up.)
- immigration
- trans rights
- free speech policy bills

I asked a Dem this weekend, “what is the point of a foreign national showing their Passport at a U.S. airport? We already have a manifest, that should be enough. It’s more than all these foreigners running roughshod over the border.”
Literally no response and almost cried. JFC I hate weak political people.

 

[TemperedTiger]

Absolute insanity.

 

[nmerritt11]

maybe they have since been removed but not according to the Riley interview. Clearly stated she turned around and was exposed to its junk

Let's not thread jack with this stuff.

 

[Flat Rock`s Finest]

Proud of Ms. Gaines and the stand she is taking. It takes real courage to do what she is doing and very little courage to go from sucking while competing against men to being a champion while competing against women.

I hope to God no male ever thinks he's going to whip his junk out in front of my daughter in a locker room. I dont give a damn what he "thinks" he is. He's going to know he did it in front of the wrong one and I wouldn't have any issue with taking an assault charge over it.

I did, It can't be a one off. Others would have to do the same. IT would end it for once and all.

 

[SDTiger9]

Let's not thread jack with this stuff.

It’s totally relevant.
I’m expressing that it’s the same psychological behavior on how people make decisions and according actions.

You have people applauding her privately, but won’t stand up publicly.

It’s like Fox News pundits expressing there’s no evidence for election fraud privately, then publicly grifting.

In order for effective change, TRUE LEADERS need to bury the extremists and that can be done in a lot of ways.

 

[Trading Tiger]

My daughter will never compete against a boy who is pretending to be a girl. That just won't happen. He can play against the teams that my daughter isn't on, if they don't have a problem with it, but I will not allow that boy on the field/court, in the pool, on the track, etc. I'll ask nicely first of course, but if he insists, just call me Tony Harding.

And that's just "in the arena". If that dude thinks he's going into the girl's locker room, you'll be calling me Tony Soprano instead.

 

[nmerritt11]

Just hung up the phone with Billy Davis. He spoke with Riley at the UK Swim Banquet and she gave him the full account of the locker room situation. He said the interview was a 100% accurate account.

The girls had no idea they would be sharing a locker room and then they turned around to see it standing there. To make it worse, apparently "it" also still likes females and not males so that makes it even more awkward.

The UK coach and A.D. have given her full support in this situation. As far as the trophy goes, Riley's stance was "it" had already received a trophy for winning the 200m so why could she not have her 5th place trophy and enjoy being an All-American and they mail the other trophy to "it." But in today's WOKE society that was not happening.

Riley is committed to this and as interview stated, she will hold off on dental school to be a voice against this and attempt to not allow it to happen again. But as others like @SDTiger9 have said, she cannot be the only voice. There needs to be more voices...and louder ones.

Billy D's daughter and Riley are great friends. He could not have spoken more highly of her when it happened or on today's phone convo. @24TIGER is a great dude and his insite is always awesome and by him being extremely close to this situation, he is a huge Riley fan and loved the way the Kentucky Athletic department handled it and backed her. He told me to share on his behalf

Underwater chess needs to happen.
Get ahead of the issue and I’d love to hear another better option.

Reclassify the NCAA divisions so equal opportunity and Title IX are met:

- OPEN
- female gender anatomy at birth

Makes participation available to all. Open includes literally everyone. In some ways it can help support men in athletics.

Why play it this way?
Taking the public position that sport participation is OPEN TO ALL eliminates discrimination. Feminists/Equalitists have a big role here. They need to stand for their female rights but also they are included to the OPEN category.

It’s nuanced. It ain’t perfect but at least it’s controlled in a fashion that “works” instead of being “worked” by the extreme measures that discriminatory tactics would otherwise play.

 

[SDTiger9]

Most democrats are not liberal.

They just rather side with those nuts than to agree with a Republican.

Such insanity.

Anyone who selects a Dem or Pub identifier MUST stand for their core beliefs. If not, they are enablers and no different than the nuts.

 

[wmnesbitt]

If a dude wants to be a girl, they need to go all the way there. Go ahead and get out the hedge clippers. Because it apparently means so much to them. Now that doesnt change the fact that they still have a Y chromosome and therefore all the physical advantages of a guy in many sports, but he wont be able to whip out his junk in the locker room.

There were a couple of events that (s)he finished out of the medals.

Personally I suspect sandbagging to try to make his(er) point that (s)he didn't have a biological advantage.
