More great news from Texas! The Hill ran a terrific story earlier this week headlined, “
Texas AG Paxton sues NCAA for allowing transgender women to compete.” Just wait till you hear his legal theory.
On Sunday, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton filed suit against the NCAA over its rules allowing cross-dressing men to play on women’s sports teams. (Is it just me, or has anyone else noticed that men never complain about girls wanting to play against them on their teams? Why is that? Is the problem that female gender-benders don’t want to play with real boys for some reason? Is that racist? Sorry, I digress.)
The most delicious part of Paxton’s lawsuit was that he is suing under the state’s
consumer protection laws, arguing the NCAA is engaging in “false, deceptive, and misleading practices” by allowing trans women (men) to participate in athletic events it markets as women’s competitions.
In other words, it’s
false advertising! It’s like,
they’re calling them chicken nuggets, judge, but it’s really BUG nuggets. There’s no chicken content.
The lawsuit hilariously —and correctly— alleged that “Consumers purchase goods and services associated with women’s college sports because they enjoy watching women compete against women—not men competing against women.” Seriously. Who needs to see that?
When we bought our tickets, you said we would be watching shapely females in a fair game, but instead, the whole time we had to avoid looking at a bunch of unattractive guys in spandex.
The Hill has clearly not gotten the memo. Its appalled editors were so shocked at Paxton’s lawsuit’s referring to trans women as “men” that they even whined about it happening “repeatedly”:
Paxton’s lawsuit asks the court either to enjoin the NCAA from letting men play in women’s sports, or else make the NCAA stop calling it
women’s sports if men are in it. Just admit it’s ‘co-ed.’
More and more, the NCAA is looking around and not finding many friends. They are fewer all the time. Like the Hill, the college sports league is holding out, for some reason trying to be one of the last to leave the trans party. Paxton’s new lawsuit is just the NCAA’s latest headache. On top of Paxton’s suit, a different group of biologically female athletes (including Riley Gaines, pictured above) is suing the NCAA, arguing the league violated their Title IX rights by giving a swimming award to Lia Thomas, a man, that they should have won or had a chance to win at the 2022 national championships.
Beyond that swimmers’ lawsuit, 26 states have now banned biological men from playing on women’s sports teams, and most included college-level sports. In April, the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics —an NCAA competitor focusing on smaller schools— banned boys from girls’ teams.
Finally, the Supreme Court is currently considering a Tennessee law, and after oral arguments, court observers think the Court’s majority will hew to
logic and
reason and not to woke linguistic gymnastics.
As former Democrat Lindy Li said, it seems like more and more folks “don't want to be a part of this craziness anymore” and just “want to be a part of the team that says men are men and women are women and men shouldn't play in women's sports.” This trans fetish is growing very expensive for progressives, I hope they can afford it.
Why is the WSJ back on the lab-leak story?; Biden's surprising "regrets"; Trump's trolling Christmas tweets; top Dem fundraiser gets herself out of the progressive cult; Texas trans lawsuit vs NCAA.
