“I told them that I was refusing to fence because this person is a man, and I'm a woman, and this is a women's tournament and I refuse to fence on principle,"



Good for her. More women should take her position.

They absolutely will...sports have the power to change lives...teamwork and discipline are such valuable lessons...Cheating negates all of that...and has no place in sports...
It's not complicated...just stay in your lane...

“A fencer is not permitted to refuse to fence another properly entered fencer for any reason," USA Fencing said in a statement released to The Associated Press. “Under these rules, such a refusal results in disqualification and the corresponding sanctions. This policy exists to maintain fair competition standards and preserve the sport’s integrity.”

“We understand that the conversation on equity and inclusion pertaining to transgender participation in sport is evolving," the statement said. "USA Fencing will always err on the side of inclusion, and we’re committed to amending the policy as more relevant evidence-based research emerges, or as policy changes take effect in the wider Olympic & Paralympic movement."

Evolving? WTF! Obama allowed men in women's bathrooms and locker rooms, now USA Fencing wants men in their women's sport.
These idiots need their head's examined!
You go Stephanie Turner, you go girl.

How does disqualifying an athlete who deserves to compete demonstrate integrity or fair competition standards? Ridiculous...
and totally unfair and unacceptable...
They bring dishonor to their organization and the sport in general...

I gave up on sports but you are right.....that they are so important is why sports must be destroyed....the New Slavers need us to be demoralized.
 
I dont know that this is right but I have been told that the Olympic Movement was an early target of the WEF globalists, which seems a bit odd given that the Olympics have always served to celebrate nations and the globalists are working hard to remove all meaningful sovereignty from nations, under their scheme nations only decide the trivial....the global manchurian class bureaucrats will decide all matters of importance.

I however do think that the claim is likely right....I have been hearing about the deep corruption of the olympics for several decades.

Your Messiah is crashing the global economy, and your number one issue is still transgenders?
 
I believe it would be the right thing to do...for the very reason you mention in you're second question...
You know it is important to the New Slavers the way everyone is extensively threatened over saying anything, and that those who do stand up are destroyed in every way the bullies can manage....going far beyond throwing them out of the sport.
 
If only MAGATs gave as much attention to real issues as they do to what's in someone else's pants, what a wonderful world it would be.

And what would be a real issue coming from a far left radical like yourself? Perhaps zeroing in on the devastation created
by biden's open border policy? Or perhaps figuring out why lefties choose to protect and house criminal illegals from
being deported to a prison in Central America? But the biggest issue facing you leftists would be to find out just who
represents the leadership of your dying party, and to find out what your anti American party actually stands for. Time for
your party to do some soul searching to figure out why the party has a 21% favorability rating and sinking fast.

Actually, this girl will be stronger than ever after this decision...The fencing association accomplished nothing but receiving a ton of bad publicity... and her opponent, even less...

People like Bret and Heather say that by standing up they lost most of their friends (and in many cases like Bret and Heather their jobs), but they say that they gained a way better class of friends. Most of them say that they dont regret it. But man o man that is a lot to ask of a teenager who loves a sport.
