Rice University Coach Criticizes NCAA on Transgender Situation
25 Jan 2022
CLAY: So you’ve talked about this. I’ve talked about this. A lot of people who are sports fans and don’t consume a place like OutKick or pay attention to stories like these, may not know this happens because ESPN basically hasn’t covered this story, nor have any of the other major sports outlets. But you have a University of Pennsylvania men’s swimmer who for three years was on the men’s team that decides to become a woman, flips over and becomes a woman and now is potentially going to set — in March — all-time records for women.
This is a biological man swimming as a woman. And a lot of people have been afraid to speak out and have any opinion about this, even though virtually everyone who cares about sports at all wants best man or best woman wins, and we know that if women’s sports were going head-to-head against men’s sports, men would win everything because men are bigger, stronger, and faster than women.
By the way, doesn’t mean that some women are not bigger, stronger, and faster than men. Just means that the elite, high-level athletic competition, men are always going to dominate women in every single athletic category. Well, this is crazy because people have not been willing to speak out because they’re afraid of condemnation or being accused of being anti-transgender, and this is the power of far-left-wing sports ideology that now suffuses all of society, is people are afraid to say what are self-evident truths.
Finally, we have got a men’s swim team coach who spoke out and said this is wrong. I want to give him credit here. Rice University, their swim coach, Seth Huston, openly spoke out about this and said in an interview with Swimswam.com — which is a swimming website — he thinks, quote, it’s “black and white right now, you compete as what you were biologically born until we get to the point where we’ve expanded opportunities, you know for instance, in transgender.”
And so credit to him for actually being willing to speak out. He said because the NCAA rules are not adjusting, “The NCAA once again has proven that it is not leading. It is not really even following. The NCAA governance has become a bystander waiting for other organizations to make tough decisions.” They are frustrated with the lack of NCAA leadership.
He says [I] “respect” this swimmer, “all of that. … I am completely okay with … the opportunity to compete. … Whether that is creating a third division, a transgender division, or whatever. So, those quotes, I mean, Buck, it speaks to how crazy the world we live in is, that this is the first coach that has been willing to publicly say this is wrong because they’re all so terrified of being targeted.
BUCK: Yep. Speaking the truth — the most obvious truth — is a revolutionary act these days, as the saying goes. And it is just keeps getting more absurd. And they’re gonna keep pushing, ’cause they don’t care. The same way that they keep pushing on other things when it comes to covid, they’re gonna keep pushing to the trans agenda because it’s about power, friends.
