- A man at Roanoke college switched from the men's team to the women's team
- The women's concerns and rights were ignored. Worse, they were punished
- AG Miyares concludes the college violated the Virginia Human Rights Act
Another college goes down. Fantastic!👏🏼
@JackThompsonFOX For years Caroline Hill endured sex discrimination from a man on her college women’s track team. He used his physical advantages & the NCAA’s discriminatory rules to steal her school records & her privacy. The discrimination continued even after the NCAA’s claimed policy change.
Who ever heard of a 3-day investigation?! SJSU AD has never seen the investigative report?!! 8 months later & no still public report issued?!!! Supposed “investigations” of Mountain West Conference & SJSU look more like a cover-up to me!

Sports Illustrated now views its mission as injecting Beltway politics and divisive spin into every sport issue possible. Heated rhetoric devoid of reasoned analysis. Exactly why I dropped my subscription. Sad. https://t.co/AsPrt8OgY0
@icons_women Big news today. Looking forward to seeing the USOPC and all NGBs pursue a level playing field in women’s sport with the same vigor USADA tackles doping!
Statement on USOPC Compliance with Federal Executive Order on Women’s Sports
The U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee (USOPC) has directed all national governing bodies to comply with federal law and an executive order requiring that women’s sports categories be reserved for female athletes.
We thank the Trump administration and the USOPC for taking this important step to preserve fairness and integrity in women’s sports. We also honor courageous athletes like Stephanie Turner, whose sacrifices and advocacy made this policy correction possible.
The next critical step is for the USOPC to implement sex screening protocols. This will ensure that women are guaranteed equal, fair, and safe opportunities in athletic competition. ICONS will not rest until every girl, at every level, in every sport has access to fair competition and privacy in locker rooms.
The U.S. has a chance to be a leader in standing up for the fair treatment of women around the world.
Next stop: the International Olympic Committee. Women across the world deserve the opportunity to compete on a level playing field and to become champions in their own right.
@Simone_Biles@Riley_Gaines_@Riley_Gaines_ is one of the most caring persons you’ll ever meet. @Simone_Biles I hope you have the chance for a face to face discussion with Riley on the future of women’s sports. You would find it productive and helpful.
@JackThompsonFOX Important to understand what happens to girls when forced to compete against a boy. Athletic directors & coaches must protect the girls against this abuse. This is not just a fair sport issue it’s a safe sport issue.
@barstoolsports Yes, Flagg’s move was to push down Robert’ arm which may have prevented Roberts from securing the rebound. Tough call, but the right call.
@RepWalorski Jackie was a woman of grace, strength, courage, conviction and, most of all, great faith. She had an unshakable understanding her eternal future was secured by her Savior, Jesus Christ. I have no doubt Jackie is dancing on streets of gold, and we will see her again one day.
As an engineer, lawyer, and 34-year legislator, Brian Bosma has spent his life building Indiana.
It is a pleasure to work with Brian on a daily basis at KGR, and we join in congratulating him for this honor!
How about the performance by the Ukrainian athletes on the opening day of the Paralympics.
7 medals -- three golds, three silver, one bronze.
A remarkable showing by athletes who are no doubt competing with heavy hearts.
