this article is from six or seven months ago before North Carolina submitting to SJWs' political jihad, pointing out the NCAA's (as well as other sports organizations) hypocrisy and the consequences, of such political stances carried out to their ultimate ends.
NCAA’s North Carolina Boycott Is Hypocritical Political Posturing
key excerpt:
...Considering the trajectory of the transgender movement, the NCAA may soon come to regret its steadfast support of special preferences and privileges for gender non-conforming Americans. We’ve all heard about the open bathrooms and locker rooms many cities and several states now mandate. But the mania has spread far beyond that frontier, infecting even more civil institutions.
Women’s colleges now accept men who claim to be women. Hundreds of universities now offer “gender-neutral” housing. The Department of Justice has instructed prisons to place inmates based on identity rather than biology. And sports teams from the middle school level up to the Olympic Games now allow biological men to compete in women’s sports and vice versa.
This last policy development is most relevant to these professional sports leagues. The transgender movement has already de-sexed sports at levels both local and international. Why shouldn’t it encompass professional American sports leagues as well? Their exclusion from the golden rule of the trans movement—that identity trumps all—would be completely arbitrary. Indeed, by the NCAA’s own standards, it will have to comply with this inevitable demand.
As Mueller noted in her statement: “I genuinely look forward to the NCAA merging all men’s and women’s teams together as singular, unified, unisex teams. Under the NCAA’s logic, colleges should make cheerleaders and football players share bathrooms, showers, and hotel rooms. This decision is an assault to female athletes across the nation. If you are unwilling to have women’s bathrooms and locker rooms, how do you have a women’s team?”
Acquiescing to and ardently endorsing open locker room policies—as the NCAA has done—signals acceptance of the idea that biology doesn’t matter, that “trans women are women” and “trans men are men.” If this is true in the case of bathrooms, then it must be true in the case of all civil institutions. What leg would the NCAA have to stand on if faced with the prospect of de-sexing their professional teams? How could it reject that demand, yet remain “committed to values of fairness and inclusion?”
Once this happens, how do you think the millions of female athletes will feel? Competing with biological men for a spot on the field would be hard enough—but what about athletic scholarships designed specifically for women? Will anyone self-identifying as “female” be eligible for those as well? If so, underprivileged female athletes who rely on such aid programs will have yet another obstacle to overcome.....
