The NCAA still ducks and covers and cowers.
The President of World Athletics just announced that they will use cheek swabs to ensure that biological women are the only ones playing in women’s sports under their purview. More, he said that they had it challenged, fought off the challenge successfully, and he’s willing to take the heat. Interesting, right? Someone willing to step up.
FYI, World Athletics basically covers track and field.
Included in its charge is the standardization of rules and regulations for the sports, certification of athletic facilities, recognition and management of world records, and the organisation and sanctioning of athletics competitions, including the World Athletics Championships.
The NCAA pussied out already by saying that men have always practiced with women so they were just not going to let them compete. Except for the fact that the NCAA uses birth certificates, which 44 states allow for the sex to be changed. So that makes them essentially useless to keep biological men out of women’s sports. Because even though their policy states that ‘those assigned male at birth’ (I can’t stand that phrase) can’t play and that there are no waivers, there is nothing in place to check, like cheek swabs.
But the tide is turning and the stupidity about testosterone levels is starting to go by the wayside, both good things. But the core issue that those with a mental illness are being allowed to set the tone and policies. None of this will go away until that’s fixed.
