Trans College Basketball Player Wants Discipline for Those ‘Questioning Her Right to Play’
“players were told that if they feel unsafe, they should stay behind and not play in the games”
This is happening in Canada. Do people have a right to play basketball there or something?
The College Fix reports:
Transgender college b-ball player wants discipline for those ‘questioning her right to play’
A transgender basketball player at Canada’s Vancouver Island University is very upset at a division rival squad for “questioning her right to play,” and alleges “verbal and physical mistreatment” by its members.
Harriette Mackenzie, a biological male, told The Canadian Press that Columbia Bible College coach Taylor Claggett “went on a ‘tirade’” after losing to VIU back in October.
Claggett allegedly berated a member of the VIU team staff about how Mackenzie “shouldn’t be allowed to play against women,” and a social media account “linked” to the coach “posted anti-trans messages” following the game.
When the two teams played again the next day, Mackenzie claims Columbia players “physically targeted her” and showed a video of a player “tossing [‘her’] to the ground” away from the play.
Columbia Bible College is an evangelical Mennonite institution.
Mackenzie (pictured) filed a complaint with the Pacific Western Athletic Association, but “she” said the organization neither investigated the matter nor meted out any consequences. PACWEST disputes the former charge.
In a letter to Vancouver Island U. and PACWEST officials, members of the VIU women’s b-ball squad wrote “By doing nothing, by saying nothing, by issuing no suspensions or sanctions, your message is clear: you think what happened was OK.
“We need you to know that we are not OK with what happened. We don’t feel safe playing at CBC or with that team so long as coach Claggett is still free to behave the way she did. Your inaction isn’t just disappointing. It has made us and the game less safe.”
The letter also suggested players were told that if they feel unsafe, they should stay behind and not play in the games
“You are asking us to risk our safety or forfeit a game and lose our standing,” it read. “You are suggesting we divide and some of us go play while leaving those who feel the most unsafe behind. What kind of choices are those? You should be standing with us, standing up for safe and fair play.”

Every squad who plays that team should just bring along and start 5 guys. When said player leaves the floor, then the women can come out and play as a squad. As soon as said player returns, so do the 5 dudes. Worked in ladyballers. All it takes is one “charge” to change an opinion here.
“You should be standing with us, standing up for safe and fair play.”
Where “safe and fair” here means beating the crap out of women’s faces.
When you cater to the delusions, the delusions just get wilder.
Isn’t that exactly what the writers are telling women who feel unsafe playing against men?
What’s your point? There is no tactic or action that cannot be taken in a physical sport for players and coaching staffs to keep men out of women’s sports. Getting physical on the court (hard checks, elbows to the body and head) are fine in that circumstance. There’s no reason not to. The ‘rules’ don’t apply to folks ignoring them. This will, initially, be dealt with by players collectively kicking the snot out of those guys (the ones falsely calling themselves women and trying to role play as if they are). It has to be made clear that there will be no safety for trans women in women’s sports. Every dirty play trick in the book is aok to force them out.
I have no dog in this fight, I’ll admit.
To me, it’s a bit like when you’re walking down the street, and you come upon a couple of drunks wildly throwing fists at one another. Mostly, you avoid them and hope nobody gets hurt.
It does occur to me:
Is this really what a sane country should be focused on? spending finite resources on?
If you’ve ever seen the Roman aqueducts , or the Great Wall of China, or the Taj Mahal, then you know that no American university had a single thing to do with any of that.
Bach, Vivaldi, Chuck Berry, Elvis — no college.
Christopher Columbus, Vasco da Gamma? Did not attend college in America. Did not play NCAA.
Idk, maybe it wouldn’t be an awful idea if American families put just a bit more thought into what they’re committing to , when they “invest in your future” lolol
Maybe just maybe, your future well-being your future career success …….. in fact these are pretty insignificant priorities for most of today’s American colleges.
Kind of like how fire prevention has been prioritized by the administrators who run California.
Or how public safety has been prioritized by the people in charge of public safety.
People, think!
Huh. Evangelical Mennonites just body slammed a dude who pretends to be female so he can play college sports because he sucks too badly to make a male team and get into the women’s locker room? Who knew those Mennonites were so vicious.
I thought Mennonites are against all violence, even in self-defense, and would rather be killed than fight back. (Like the Moravian Indians who were massacred during the US revolution — by our side, unfortunately.)
If the body-slamming story is true (which I doubt) the players who did it were probably not themselves Mennonites.
Curiously, Milhouse, the vast majority of Mennonite sects are against violence, but will allow their members to serve in law enforcement which does involve violence but in the lens of presumably fostering peace.
