Following testimony by National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) president, Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., called on the organization to apologize to female athletes.
Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., called on the NCAA to apologize to female athletes, such as swimmer Riley Gaines, for favoring transgender athletes at their expense this week. National Collegiate Athletic Association President Charlie Baker testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee Tuesday on the controversy surrounding female athletes being forced to compete and share locker rooms with biological males.
Hawley quoted Gaines’ testimony where she described, 'In addition to being forced to give up our awards and our titles and our opportunities, the NCAA forced me and my female swimmers to share a locker room with Thomas. A 6-foot-4, 22-year-old male equipped with and exposed male genitalia. Let me be clear about this – we were not forewarned we would be sharing a locker room. No one asked for our consent and we did not give our consent.
Hawley followed up, 'Does that include female athletes having to share locker rooms with biological males not being warned or consent? Are they asked for their consent?' 'I don't believe that policy would be the policy we would use today,' Baker continued. The Missouri senator later sent out a formal letter to the NCAA requesting that the association respond to further questions on what exactly the current policy is regarding transgender athletes in women’s locker rooms.
