Several U.S. senators on Tuesday criticized NCAA President Charlie Baker's organization for allowing biological men to compete with women in athletics.
During an investigation into sports betting on Capitol Hill on Tuesday, several mostly Republican senators asked Baker about the NCAA's current position on transgender athletes in women's sports, which eliminates fair competition. Ta. Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.) asked Baker why the organization ignored a letter earlier this year signed by several Republicans asking questions about men in women's sports.
“I remain disappointed that there is no NCAA policy to protect women in athletics. You all had time to do this, and our female athletes deserve it,” Blackburn said. spoke. “If we're going to partner on gambling and other things, and we applaud that, we need to make sure we protect women's sports for women.”
Sen. John Kennedy (R-Louisiana) even told Baker to stand tall and stand firm.
“Why do you support allowing transgender women who are biologically male to compete against biologically non-transgender women?” the senator asked. “We're allowing biological males to compete against biological females, and the NCAA is doing nothing but sitting there and watching, cashing checks, and sucking their teeth. is.”
Baker agreed with Kennedy that biological males have an advantage “whenever they compete with biological females,” but noted that federal courts have found that federal law “does not provide legal clarity on this issue.” No,” he said.
Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Missouri) added to the conversation by questioning Baker's dismissal of the issue as “not my problem.”
“Let's stop that canard. No federal court has ever ordered the NCAA to include biological males in women's sports,” Hawley said. “There hasn't been a single incident where the NCAA has been ordered to do so.”
Hawley added, “The only people who don't seem to be taking any responsibility in this are you and the NCAA, the governing body,” adding that Baker's refusal to defend NCAA policies “I was furious,” he said.
Kennedy continued to pursue the issue.
“Why not stand up and say before God and country that federal law is wrong? NCAA We believe in fair competition, but do we also believe in equality? '' Kennedy said. “In America, you can be anything you want to be, you can be anyone you want to be, but our job is to promote fairness in sports. Why not continue?
