Trans-Identifying HS Volleyball Player Sends Illinois Community Into Uproar

A trans-identifying biological male at James B. Conant High School in Illinois, who reportedly stands 6-foot-4, made the freshman girls volleyball team despite never having previously played the sport, OutKick has learned. 

According to a parent of one of the freshman girls, who spoke to OutKick on the condition of anonymity, around 70 girls tried out for the team and only 23 made it – along with the male to complete the 24-player roster. 

In addition, the longtime girls’ volleyball coach allegedly resigned her position after being forced to allow the male – who is also allegedly using the girls’ bathroom and locker room facilities, according to parents – on the girls’ team. 

OutKick reached out to the school’s athletics department and principal. 

On Wednesday night, August 20, the Township High School District 211 school board – which oversees Conant, a school located in the Chicago suburbs – held a special meeting and allowed members of the public to speak. Chaos ensued. 

Parents beg school board to take action

Over the course of an hour, 16 people spoke at the meeting. Some were in opposition to a male on the girls’ team and some were in favor. The first few speakers all begged the school board to intervene and remove the male from the girls’ volleyball team. 

“If you want groundbreaking, revolutionary, inclusive ideas, start a trans league so trans people can compete against each other. But keep biological men out of biological girls’ sports. Protect our girls,” John Goodman, a candidate for the U.S. Senate, said.

Family of Tribal Chief Who Inspired Washington Redskins Logo Thanks Trump, Urges Team to Restore It

The family of the Native American tribal chief who inspired the former Washington Redskins logo is calling on the team to bring back the image, describing it as a matter of respect and historical accuracy, as reported by The Blaze.

Thomas White Calf, the nephew of the late Chief Two Guns White Calf of the Blackfeet tribe, wrote a letter demanding the franchise restore both the name and logo that activists pressured the team to drop in 2020.

The Redskins name and logo were abandoned in July of that year, replaced temporarily by the “Washington Football Team” before the franchise adopted the “Washington Commanders” identity in 2022.

“White Calf defended tribal traditions in our Blackfeet homeland in Montana, where many of us still live today,” Thomas wrote in a letter obtained by the New York Post.

“He went to Washington, D.C., where he forced the U.S. government to honor Indian treaties. He served as a model for the U.S. Mint’s famous 1913 ‘Indian head’ nickel. White Calf’s face is still a collector’s item.”

California County Board Bans Trans Athletes from Girls’ Sports

The Kern County Board of Education has passed a resolution to come into compliance with President Donald Trump’s Title IX rules. It will ban transgender athletes from girls’ sports in the Southern California county.

During Tuesday’s meeting, Trustee Lori Cisneros said, “Now, there be it resolved the Kern County Board of Education affirms it is for Title IX and calls on athletic governing bodies to uphold its protections by ensuring fairness in girls’ sports,” according to KBAK-TV.

The board oversees the education of about 400 students in county-run alternative education programs, but has no control over Kern’s other 46 districts.

But the board feels its resolution is a start that other districts should emulate.

“My message to the other school districts in Kern County is: Please follow our lead and protect girls. That’s the main purpose — to protect our students in girls’ sports,” trustee Lori Cisneros said, KERO-TV reported.

Still, some speakers at the meeting opposed the resolution.

One speaker exclaimed, “If the board truly cared about fairness, it would talk about equal funding for girls’ programs, better coaching resources, and ensuring all students have the equipment they need. Instead, this resolution targets one marginalized group while ignoring real inequities. That’s a double standard and a distraction from genuine solutions. Protecting women means protecting all women, including trans women.”

The Trump administration has been putting serious pressure on California to come into compliance with his Title IX changes that reversed the Biden administration’s wide expansion of policies to push the radical trans agenda.

Girl Athlete Loses Medal for Refusing to Stand by ‘Trans’ Male on Podium

A star high school athlete found herself deprived of her medal after she refused to stand on a podium with a biological male athlete who, as she said, should not have been allowed to compete in the event.

Alexa Anderson, who at the time was a high school senior, went to the Oregon state track and field championships to compete, and found herself facing off against a biological male. When Anderson won a medal, she decided to use the award ceremony as an opportunity to make a respectful protest of the boy being allowed to compete against girls, and she refused to stand on the podium with the “transgender” athlete. Instead of listening to her concerns, authorities revoked Anderson’s medal.

Anderson, who was joined by another female athlete in refusing to stand on the podium, explained to Campus Reform, “That whole meet, I knew that I wanted to do something. I wanted to take a stand of some sort to show that I didn’t feel this was fair, and I felt that the best way to do that was to just take a step off the podium and acknowledge that this was not a fair competition environment for anybody.”

‘These girls are being bullied’: Volleyball team forced to share dorms with trans-identifying male

A Nova Scotia girls’ provincial volleyball team was told by their coach that voicing concerns over sharing dorms with a trans-identifying biological male teammate was a “disgusting” act of “transphobia” and “homophobia,” according to an exclusive report from Juno News.

The story’s author, Melanie Bennet, joined The Ezra Levant Show, to discuss the details of this latest instance of women and girls’ private spaces being invaded by males.

Melanie explained how the male was selected for the provincial team that travelled to Toronto to compete in the Canada Cup, where “some young girls complained.”

An important point of clarity, the journalist shared that from what her sources said, the girls “didn’t actually share rooms” with the male “but did have a shared bathroom.”

After raising concerns privately amongst themselves, the girls were then reprimanded.

“These are elite youths who are competing at a high level, perhaps for scholarships, maybe to be professional,” she said of the female athletes.

“These girls complaining about being in their spaces, possibly taking their trophies and their scholarships, and whatever else, they’re being threatened with being expelled from the team in their last year.”

The adults in charge of the program were using a “very heavy hand to keep this quiet,” Melanie added. “It seems to me like there’s a lot of effort to hide what’s going on and make it look like it’s this kid who happens to be gay who’s being bullied — which is not the case at all,” she continued, noting the coaches use of terms like “LGBTQ+ athlete” instead of directly saying it was a trans-identified male.

Despite the concerns from the girls, the inclusion of the male on the team abides by the program’s code of conduct, she said.

“In this case, I think absolutely these girls are being bullied and that bullying by adults, and threatening frankly, is being supported by policy,” detailed Melanie.

Game Day Just Got Creepy: Florida Stadium Swaps Tickets for Faces

The University of Florida has launched a facial recognition-based entry system for football games, making it the first college in the country to introduce this technology at a stadium.

Instead of showing a ticket or scanning a phone, participating fans will now be able to walk into games by having their face scanned at dedicated lanes.

The system, called Express Entry, was created by Wicket and reflects a larger pattern of biometric screening being integrated into major sporting events.

To sign up, fans must link their Ticketmaster accounts and submit a selfie.

Once registered, they can skip traditional lines and enter the stadium through special facial recognition lanes. The University claims the process is quick, easy, and designed to relieve congestion. “With Express Entry, fans can bypass the lines and enter games using their face instead of their phone or ticket. Enrollment is free and simple,” the University Athletic Association explained.

This move is part of a shift in how universities are beginning to experiment with surveillance-oriented technologies under the banner of convenience.

Though the program is optional and traditional ticketing methods remain available, the arrival of facial recognition at a public university venue introduces serious concerns around biometric data collection and surveillance practices in educational and public entertainment settings.

Obama Judge Tosses Lawsuit of High School Girl Who Competed Against Trans Athlete

A judge appointed by former President Barack Obama dismissed the lawsuit of a Pennsylvania teen girl who competed against a transgender-identifying male athlete. 

Girls’ cross-country and track runner Aislin Magalengo filed a lawsuit against Quakertown Community High School and the Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association (PIAA) earlier this year, alleging that she was made to compete against trans-identifying Luce Allen at a meet in September 2024, Fox News reported. 

Allen won first place at the meet, while Magalengo snagged second place. The complaint alleges that Magalengo had to continue competing against Allen throughout the season, according to the report.

U.S. District Court Judge Wendy Beetlestone, who was appointed by Obama in 2014, dismissed the lawsuit on August 1. 

“Her Amended Complaint is devoid of any factual allegations that she was subject to purposeful discrimination, other than asserting as much in the most conclusory fashion,” Beetlestone wrote in her decision. “She points to no instances of students assigned female at birth being treated differently than those assigned male at birth, and, as such, she has failed to plausibly state a claim for sex-based discrimination.” 

Magalengo’s attorney, Keith Altman, said they plan to appeal the decision, according to the report. 

“The client’s disappointed, obviously, and still believes strongly in what’s happened,” Altman said, according to NBC Philadelphia. “We’re going to continue pursuing the issue. We think it’s an extremely important issue, and it’s got to be resolved.”

“It is irrefutable that males, as a general proposition, are more physically capable than females. We think that it is fundamentally unfair that somebody that simply says, ‘Well, I identify as a female’ is now able to compete with females and dominate women’s athletics. It just doesn’t make sense,” he added.

NYPD on MANHUNT for WNBA sex-toy throwing suspect in Beavis and Butthead shirt

Police are looking for a man who threw a lime-green sex toy during a WNBA New York Liberty home game, narrowly missing a 12-year-old girl, according to the NYPD.

The incident happened Tuesday at Barclays Center during the Liberty’s matchup against the Dallas Wings. Security footage released by Crime Stoppers shows the suspect wearing a “Beavis and Butthead” T-shirt, a red and black hat, black shorts, and displaying tattoos on both arms.

Witnesses said the object was launched from a higher row in section 116, where the girl was seated with her mother. “The object was thrown from someone much higher up but definitely in the same section,” a fan in the area told the New York Post. “When it landed, the girl started screaming/freaking out (understandably) for like 30 [seconds] and got the attention of most people within the surrounding rows.”

The sex toy did not make it to the court but instead landed near a mother and her child. Barclays Center staff removed it quickly, and the game continued. The Liberty went on to defeat the Wings 85–76.

This was one of two WNBA games that night where a similar incident occurred. In Los Angeles, Indiana Fever player Sophie Cunningham was struck by a green sex toy during a game against the Sparks.

Series of Dildo-Throwing Incidents at WNBA Games Reportedly Tied to Meme Coin Pump Scheme

In one of the most bizarre scandals to hit professional sports, the WNBA has been dealing with a string of disruptions where fans have been hurling dildos onto the court during games.

For weeks, there was no explanation for the strange and dangerous disruptions, but it now appears to be a promotion for a cryptocurrency meme coin.

According to a new report from The Athletic, the sex toy incidents are linked to a group of cryptocurrency investors trying to pump up a meme coin called the “Green Dildo Coin.”

The disruptions began in late July during a game between the Atlanta Dream and the Golden State Valkyries, where a green sex toy was thrown and caused a brief stop in play. Similar events followed, including during another Atlanta Dream game and a matchup involving the Indiana Fever and Los Angeles Sparks.

Indiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham addressed the issue in a post on X after one incident, stating, “Please stop throwing things on the court. It’s dangerous for us players.”

Cunningham was later targeted in a separate dildo incident and hit by the crass projectile.

Nuking The Redskins’ Name Did Nothing To Help American Indians, And Nobody’s Surprised

Rumor’s out that the owners of the Washington Commanders are feeling the heat to reverse the 2020 decision by former owner Daniel Snyder to drop the team’s beloved Redskins name.

The reason? President Donald Trump’s recent threats regarding the team’s $3.7 billion plan to return the team’s stadium to the District of Columbia from its decades-long sojourn in Maryland. “I may put a restriction on them that if they don’t change the name back to the original ‘Washington Redskins,’ and get rid of the ridiculous moniker, ‘Washington Commanders,’” Trump posted, “I won’t make a deal for them to build a Stadium in Washington.”

Certainly, this lifelong Redskins fan wouldn’t mind Trump fighting on behalf of the fanbase of a storied franchise who still feels betrayed by a decision that had more to do with woke mob outrage in the aftermath of George Floyd’s death than with the purported social justice reasons given for why the team needed to alter its name and mascot.

“Redskins is racist,” asserted pundits across left-wing corporate media, a claim that finally gained traction when American corporations kowtowed to every woke activist in 2020 by claiming they would take whatever steps would appease the mob and its accusatory chants of “systemic racism.” Yet five years on, one might ask, what has the name change actually accomplished?
