A Colorado judge appointed by President Joe Biden recently decided that a male player on a women’s volleyball team can keep on competing despite having an unfair physical advantage over his female opponents.
Blaire Fleming, a six foot tall male player playing for the San Jose State University (SJSU) female volleyball team, the Spartans, has helped his team win multiple victories. Outrage over Fleming’s unfair advantages, as well as safety concerns about playing against a male player, has led to five different female teams forfeiting matches instead of competing against Fleming.
The University of Nevada, Reno (UNR) has moved ahead in scheduling a women’s volleyball game against San Jose State University (SJSU) despite its female players’ refusal to play against SJSU’s team because it has a male player.
The UNR players announced their plans to forfeit an upcoming Oct. 26 game against SJSU due to the presence of a 6-foot-tall male player on the team, OutKick reported on Monday. The player, Blaire Fleming, is a man who “identifies” as a woman.
A women’s volleyball coach was recently suspended after criticizing her university’s allegedly preferential treatment of a male player who allegedly threw a match and conspired to have one of his female teammates injured.
On Saturday, San Jose State University (SJSU) in California suspended Melissa Batie-Smoose, the associate head volleyball coach of its female volleyball team, the Spartans, as reported by OutKick.

5. Princeton holds LGBT athlete discussion as part of ‘Every Voice’ conference
Led by Women’s Basketball Head Coach Carla Berube, the panel featured four Princeton alumni athletes. One speaker, Deborah Saint-Phard, discussed her attempts to fit in despite the Ivy League institution’s “very white, affluent, heteronormative culture,” according to The Daily Princetonian.
The speakers reportedly discussed their various athletic experiences in regard to their respective sexuality, as well as DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) within Princeton athletics, and whether transgender-identifying athletes should compete against women.
