Five More Teams Forfeit Over Transgender ‘Danger’

Even more female volleyball teams have been forced to forfeit matches “to protect their players from the high and now well-documented risk of serious injury when being required to play against one or more men who identify as female,” said John Banzhaf, Professor of Public Interest Law atGeorge Washington University Law School

The Nevada women’s volleyball team will not play its scheduled match against San Jose State because of this “danger,” according to Banzhaf. Recently, Southern Utah, Boise State, Wyoming and Utah State women’s volleyball teams were also forced to cancel their scheduled matches to “prevent serious harm – including disabilities – to its players.”

The activist law professor, who both played with and coached volleyball at George Washington University [GWU], has documented and explained “just how much of a physical disadvantage women and girls face when forced to play volleyball and many other sports against a male opponent, and how those overwhelming physical differences have led to serious injuries, as well as to forfeitures required to avoid the real threat of disabilities such a mismatch creates.”
