On Saturday, South Carolina girls’s basketball coach Dawn Staley was requested her opinion about trans inclusion in girls’s sports activities. Her reply, as Staley predicted, was not obtained properly.
As Staley and the Gamecocks ready to play for the nationwide championship on Sunday, Outkick’s Dan Zakasheske requested Staley whether or not she thinks males figuring out as girls ought to have the ability to play girls’s basketball.
After a number of moments, Staley replied, “If you’re a woman, you should play. If you consider yourself a woman, and you want to play sports or vice versa, you should be able to play.”
Staley added, “That’s my opinion.”
“Do you think transgender women should be able to participate?” Zaksheske requested.
“That’s the question you want to ask, I’ll give you that,” Staley replied. “Yes. Yes. So now the barnstormer people are going to flood my timeline and be a distraction to me on one of the biggest days of our game, and I’m OK with that. I really am.”
It’s attention-grabbing that Staley considers the implications to her social media timeline to be larger than the implications of the endorsement she simply gave to males figuring out as females infiltrating girls’s sports activities.
If a person with common basketball expertise determined to play for South Carolina, he would seemingly beat out a feminine participant on the present roster. Lia Thomas was a totally mediocre swimmer on the lads’s aspect and started beating Olympians and Olympic-caliber competitors on the ladies’s aspect, so there’s very current precedent to support that assertion.
In different phrases, Staley simply put the roster standing of each girl on her staff and each girl in faculty basketball in excessive jeopardy. But, , her timeline is the true concern.
It also needs to be famous, because it was famous on X, that Staley as soon as canceled a basketball recreation in opposition to BYU over a totally unfounded cost of racism. Yet, she couldn’t be bothered to defend girls’s rights in sports activities.
It was straightforward for @dawnstaley to cancel video games w/BYU after one other staff in one other sport alleged a (phantom) hate crime. Standing up for women & girls in sports activities? That requires REAL braveness. Testosterone will not be social assemble, and womanhood will not be a vibe.

Staley herself, a girls’s Hall of Famer and Team USA member as a participant, would by no means have realized the success she had as a participant if she needed to play in opposition to males. But, I assume since her profession is over, she appears content material, leaving open the floodgates to trans infiltration to the present group of feminine gamers.
Love & respect @dawnstaley . Hate that she didn’t have the braveness to talk the reality…particularly bc I don’t assume there’s any means she really believes what she mentioned (her hesitation spoke volumes). Dawn is aware of rattling properly that she’d by no means be a HOFer if she’d performed in opposition to males.… https://t.co/1W7Lqa732t

In any occasion, Staley’s prediction of a energetic timeline was fairly correct.
South Carolina Women’s Basketball Coach Dawn Staley says she helps males enjoying in opposition to girls in the event that they determine as a lady. Willing to guess a number of the women on her staff disagree. She deserves each little bit of criticism she’s about to get for this lunacy.

Dawn Staley is aware of completely properly that males’s basketball is a very totally different sport than girls’s basketball
That’s apparent by the velocity of the sport, the dimensions of the ball, the sheer quantity of layups in comparison with dunks when a participant will get a quick break https://t.co/uUgLpxIDbo

Oh, have a look at that, bowing down on the altar of the LGBTQIA+ agenda. What a shock!
Wokeness will all the time take you farther than you need to go. Mentally delusional males coming into girls’s basketball? Good luck with that, @dawnstaley! Let’s go, Iowa!!! pic.twitter.com/3tW10AMKFQ

Yes, Dawn Staley is outstanding. But now she’s confirmed herself to be a sellout for girls to appease males.
She helps the concept of lower than mediocre males taking girls’s alternatives. How is that this totally different than the ‘patriarchy’ they touted their grievances with? https://t.co/LR8cFgghNk

A follow-up query for @dawnstaley: Why are there at the moment two divisions — women and boys, mens and ladies’s — in highschool and faculty athletics?

Second follow-up for @dawnstaley: Which of your present gamers would you be prepared to chop to make room for a taller, stronger, quicker, organic male who identifies as a lady?

Our @UofSC Women’s Basketball Coach @dawnstaley says organic males must be allowed to play in girls’s sports activities.
Our tax {dollars} shouldn’t fund folks and packages pushing these embarrassing ideologies that contradict SC values. @Riley_Gaines_ and @ClayTravis 👇🏻 pic.twitter.com/rO1yjgCR92
