CNN: Boise State Forfeits Match vs. San Jose State Amid Transgender Claims

EXCERPT:

BERNAL: “So this player has been on the San Jose State team since 2022. But it was in April when there was a news article that spoke about her gender and that’s when the story really became a political story instead of a sports story. So, I want to first explain what’s happening this weekend. So, San Jose State was supposed to play a semifinal against Boise State. Boise State withdraws from the championship, which means that San Jose will advance to the final on Saturday. They will be playing either against San Diego or Colorado State in that final match. Now, Boise did not explain exactly why they’re withdrawing, but this is not the first time that they boycott these games against San Jose. They did so during the regular season in two different games, and actually, San Jose has had six victories because of teams that withdrew and did not want to play against San Jose State. So, all of this, again, just became this controversy back in April and one of the team members, the co-captain, actually, her name is Brooke Slusser. She filed a lawsuit to prevent the player in question from competing.”
