High school basketball game ends after multiple girls get injured by 6-foot-tall player "with facial hair"
· Feb 20, 2024 · NottheBee.com

"He has a playoff game on Monday, so he didn't want to have any more of his girls go down."

That's a real quote from Collegiate Charter School of Lowell Athletic Director Kyle Pelczar. His girls' basketball team had to forfeit at halftime because of stuff like this:

Here's a letter from Lowell following the forfeit:

On February 8th, the coach of the Collegiate Charter School of Lowell Girls' Basketball Team decided to end a game at halftime after watching a third player injured in the game with KIPP Academy. The bench was already depleted going into the game with the 12-player roster having four players unable to play. When the coach saw three more girls go down in the first half leaving him with five players, he made the call to end the game early. The upcoming Charter School playoffs were looming, and he needed a healthy and robust bench in four days. Once the third was injured, the remaining five expressed concern to him about continuing to play. The players feared getting injured and not being able to compete in the playoffs.

In an effort to maintain safety for his team, he decided to forfeit. The Charter School supports this decision and reiterates its values of both inclusivity and safety for all students.

You guys, men really should not be playing women's sports. It's not fair. It's not progressive. And it's actually quite dangerous. Sad that I have to write these words down, as they should be obvious to everyone.

Except that in the State of Massachusetts their high school basketball association — the MIAA — makes it clear in their handbook:

According to the MIAA Handbook, Section 43.3.1: 'A student shall not be excluded from participation on a gender-specific sports team that is consistent with the student's bona fide gender identity.'

The MIAA does make it clear, however, that this rule is not to be enacted for the purpose of gaining a competitive advantage, as noted in the MIAA Handbook, Section 43.3.2:

'When a school district submits a roster to the MIAA, it is verifying that it has determined that the students listed on a gender-specific sports team are eligible to participate either based on the gender listed on their official birth certificate or based on their bona fide gender identity and that no students are included on the roster solely for the purpose of gaining an unfair advantage in competitive athletics. The MIAA shall defer to the determination of the student and the student's school regarding gender classification.'

Bro, all a boy's got to do is lie!

I'm at a point, man. Like, when do we just start recruiting boys to infiltrate the girls teams and just take the sports over? Maybe that's the only way we'll see this madness come to an end — just turn it into something even more ridiculous than it already is.

More from the story:

The KIPP Academy girls basketball game on February 8 against the Collegiate Charter School of Lowell ended at halftime. The question is, why?

Collegiate Charter left after 16 minutes of play with KIPP leading, 31-14. The game goes into the books as a 10-0 forfeit win for KIPP.

According to multiple sources, KIPP has a male player on its girls basketball roster, despite the school offering a boys program. The player is reported to be more than 6 feet tall with facial hair.

KIPP officials refused to confirm the player's gender identification.

"More than 6 feet tall with facial hair." Welcome to clown world.
