TIL, the president can just control all sports. awesome.
well, no, but he does have control over the Title IX funding without which many state, and local sports teams/leagues/classes wouldn’t have the money to operate at all, and he does control the immigration and transportation departments where he can decide for just about any reason to deny athletes entry to the united states for the olympics
Yeah, how about they just call him king, or Supreme Leader?
There are like less than a dozen trans athletes in the NCAA. Probably not even a hundred trans high school athletes.
It has nothing to do with enjoying women’s sports. You don’t see these people posting things celebrating women’s sports - just outrage bait over Lia Thomas. (I would have no idea who she was if Facebook didn’t regularly spam me with photoshopped pictures of her and horrific 1000+ comment threads)
And if he’s dismantling DOE, I bet Title 9 becomes a thing of the past. We have to force schools to support girls athletics. There are regulations such that you have to have equity - eg, you either have to have a boys and a girls football team, or offer some sort of alternative sport. Even as things are, your mediocre boys football team is going to have so much more cash and love pumped into it (cough small town southern states have a quiet epidemic of pedophile coaches, diddling is a-ok if you bring back championships - like this is a geniune Q-anon tier conspiracy involving superintendents and was being investigated by the federal government)
“Women’s sports” solely exist as a cudgel for these people.
For anyone wondering how the heck he can do it given sports are private entities its because its particular to college teams which of course is what feeds the pro teams:
“The order, titled “Keeping Men Out of Women’s Sports,” gives federal agencies, including the Justice and Education departments, wide latitude to ensure entities that receive federal funding abide by Title IX in alignment with the Trump administration’s view, which interprets “sex” as the gender someone was assigned at birth.”
And while everyone focuses on this today DOGE will continue taking a hatchet to the government.
How is this enforceable?
Before every game Donny comes and take a look “under the hood” of evey athlete.
By withholding funding to schools and colleges who allow transgender students to participate in women’s sports.
…and mandatory crotch inspections
I commented at the top but its title IX and specific to college athletics.
All three of them!
