The tolerant Left, everyone:
Speak out against men playing women's sports, be prepared for death threats. That's exactly what happened to San Jose State's Brooke Slusser.
Believe it or not, Brooke Slusser plays volleyball for the same school we highlighted yesterday for having a trans player on their roster. Brooke is co-captain of the team.
This story has blown up over the past week, and Brooke Slusser's name has appeared in many of the stories, due to her joining this lawsuit:
On September 24, OutKick reported that Slusser had signed onto a lawsuit against the NCAA for allowing males to compete in women's collegiate sports. The suit, which is being backed by the Independent Council On Women's Sports (ICONS), charges that the NCAA knowingly violated the federal statute which guarantees equal opportunity for men and women in college education and in sports …
Slusser, the starting setter and co-captain of the San Jose team, was the latest to join the suit, citing fairness and safety. The news was significant as Slusser is a teammate of Blaire Fleming, a trans-identified male previously exposed by Reduxx for attempting to conceal his biological sex from his teammates …
In joining the lawsuit against the NCAA, Slusser revealed there was significant turmoil within the San Jose team itself regarding Fleming's inclusion. In a recent interview with OutKick, Slusser said: ‘It's crazy to say, but it was an easy decision for me to join because it's something I truly believe in.'
So they're suing the NCAA over its Title IX inclusion of trans players in sports, which is obviously the right thing to do. Slusser is on a team with an unfair advantage, and even she felt the need to join the lawsuit.
Well, like I said above, speak out about these things, and you'd better be prepared for the tolerant Left's wrath.
On October 2, a suspected threat against Slusser's life was received by one of her teammates via Instagram. After being made aware of the threat, Slusser contacted police in Fort Collins, where she is presently staying ahead of tonight's game against Colorado State University.
And here's what the scene looked like in Fort Collins, Colorado, for the game last night.
Speaking to Reduxx, Slusser says there will be police escorting the athletes to and from their vehicles, locker rooms, and the gym. There will also be metal detectors installed at the entrance points, and armed officers will be present at the game in order to ensure the safety of everyone in attendance.
Fairness is important to some people, but when those people speak out they receive death threats. It doesn't matter. We're going to keep speaking out because it's the right thing to do. If people think we're wrong, that's their problem. We're not going to stop.
Huge props to Brooke Slusser, who says 99% of the reaction to her joining this lawsuit has been positive. This must be awkward in the locker room, but what needs to be done needs to be done.
