Female athletes' dreams shattered along with their records as boys compete against them



The Democrats pretend to support women but it's a lie. If anything, they support men who either think they're women or pretend to be in order to compete with women because they can't compete with fellow fellows. These transgender "women" are stealing scholarships and trophies away from women and it is so obviously unfair, but the left promotes it.

High school sprinter Alanna Smith, 17, is getting virtually no support from Democrats in her battle to keep males with gender dysphoria out of her track events as she chases a chance to become a Lady Tiger at Louisiana State University.

The Lady Tigers have won 25 national championships in track and field, and Alanna hopes to be a part of that someday. But competing against males makes it very difficult.

Thankfully, Alanna is not involved in Mixed Martial Arts where Fallon Fox, a male, seriously injured two women he fought in MMA.

“When I didn’t have to run against biological males, I felt I had a chance,” Alanna said. “Whether I came in first or fifth place, I knew that was the spot I deserved. Now it’s dispiriting to know who is going to win.”

Alanna, who was born in Louisiana, might still run as a Lady Tiger but it would be very difficult running against men.

She is currently a junior at Danbury High School in Connecticut and took the New England crown in the 400 meters. She is also focusing on the 100- and 200-meters but if she has to run against dudes, that will be a daunting task as men have the biological advantage in general over women in sports due to muscle mass, fast-twitch versus slow-twitch muscle ratio where men excel, and overall strength.

Currently, Alanna is a plaintiff in a federal lawsuit filed in February 2020 seeking to bar males from competing with females. Her attorneys are with the Alliance Defending Freedom, a conservative Christian group. They are on the front line in a fight over the interpretation of Title IX, which was originally designed to increase girls’ participation in school sports.

Under the Trump administration, the Department of Education’s office of civil rights upheld an administrative complaint filed by Alanna and others, and the Justice Department wrote a letter of interest in support of her lawsuit. Last month, with Biden apparently in office, the Department of Education overturned that ruling and the Justice Department pulled its letter hours later.

In Connecticut, the majority of Democrats in Hartford have shown little interest in taking up Alanna’s cause, her family said, and local and school officials have made it clear that they consider Alanna’s plea an unwelcome burden because they are cowards and scared crap-less to go against the woke.

Other states led by Republican governors have taken more honest and scientific approaches.

Mississippi Gov. Tate Reeves, a Republican, signed a bill into law last week that prohibits transgender women from playing on women’s athletic teams. More than two dozen other states have similar bills kicking about in their legislatures.

“I would hope Connecticut would get on board, but there are no signs of that,” Alanna said.

The Mississippi law seems certain to draw legal challenges from the American Civil Liberties Union, which is no longer protecting the civil liberties of all Americans, but only select groups.

Black supremacist Jemele Hill calls for black athletes to leave 'white' colleges

Black supremacist Jemele Hill, who in the past made salacious tweets that President Trump is a white supremacist, is now calling for black athletes to leave "white" colleges [she doesn't define the term] because she believes that the schools make all the money and the athletes are not compensated for their play in sports.

Hill evidently doesn't see the value of a college scholarship or the public exposure an athlete gets for his performance, which often translates into a lucrative sports contract at best, and an education at the very least. But when everything you see is in terms of a person's melanin, you often miss those nuances, 

The former ESPN writer who was suspended for calling President Trump a white supremacist without evidence [beyond some dumb things he has said], is calling for black athletes to leave those 'white' colleges. She is now a staff writer for The Atlantic, a leftist magazine that fired conservative Kevin Williamson for being Kevin Williamson after giving his opinions about abortion.

Hill's first article for the magazine, titled, "It's Time for Black Athletes to Leave White Colleges," has drawn a range of responses -- including assertions that Hill is "pro-segregation" or "racist," and that she isn't the one to decide where an athlete should go to school.

Hill argues that black athletes help bring in money and attention to the "predominantly white universities that showcase them," while Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) continue to struggle.

She writes that mostly white schools’ [aka schools whose students are mostly lower on the melanin scale than HBCUs] multibillion-dollar revenues have been built on the “exertions of (uncompensated) black athletes," claiming that an elite black athlete attending an HBCU raises awareness of the institution, whose endowments combined are less than a tenth of Harvard’s.

The racist Hill writes that HBCUs have graduated a significant number of black professionals, a thriving HBCU lifts up the community around it and finally, that some black students “feel safer, both physically and emotionally," at an HBCU – “all the more so as racial tensions have risen in recent years,” a claim that needs actual data to prove.

“Navigating a predominantly white campus as a black student can feel isolating, even for athletes,” she adds, again with nothing to substantiate her claim.

"The flight of black athletes to majority-white colleges has been devastating to HBCUs," she writes, positing, "What if a group of elite athletes collectively made the choice to attend HBCUs?" What if it isn't a "flight" at all, but merely a choice? Usually a flight is a journey from somewhere to somewhere, but it isn't as if black students are fleeing from predominantly black institutions to go to white institutions--but if they were, that would be their freedom to do so.

Hill, like most liberals, doesn't practice what she preaches--she attended Michigan State University [Go Spartans!] which is not an HBCU but merely a U. She left ESPN last year after incessantly attacking President Trump and making ESPN something other than a sports network. She tweeted that President Trump is a "white supremacist" and a "bigot" who was "unqualified and unfit to be president."

But ESPN did nothing initially to punish her for the tweet but then suspended her for two weeks in October 2017, after she violated the company’s social media guidelines again. She called upon fans to boycott the Dallas Cowboys' advertisers after owner Jerry Jones demanded his players respect the American flag and national anthem and not take a knee during its playing or they would be benched.

That was a real empty-headed move, to boycott your own family's money providers.
