A women’s volleyball star has a message for the NCAA after the Texas AG sued the organization over coverage of women’s sports.
San Jose State women’s volleyball star Brooke Slusser warned the NCAA after Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton filed a lawsuit against the agency over transgender inclusion in women’s sports.
Paxton filed the lawsuit Sunday, accusing the organization of deceptive marketing practices by allowing transgender women to compete with natural women. Paxton said in a statement issued by the NCAA that it violates the Texas Trade Practices Act “which exists to protect consumers from businesses that attempt to mislead or deceive them into purchasing unadvertised goods or services.”

Slusser, who was part of a lawsuit against his school and the NCAA for allowing a transgender woman on the Spartans’ roster this season, wrote about Paxton’s suit.
“Hey NCAA, if you haven’t realized that this fight will keep getting harder for you until you make a change!” Slusser wrote in X.
Slusser and other plaintiffs had asked a judge to grant an injunction barring Blaire Fleming from competing in the Mountain West Conference women’s volleyball tournament last month, but they were denied.

San Jose State reached the finals of the tournament but lost to Colorado State.
Paxton accused the NCAA of “engaging in false, deceptive, and misleading practices by marketing sporting events as ‘women’s’ contests in order to provide consumers with mixed-gender contests in which biological males compete against biological females.”
“The NCAA is knowingly endangering the safety and well-being of women by subtly changing women’s championships to co-ed tournaments,” Paxton said in a statement. “When people watch a women’s volleyball game, for example, they expect to see women playing with other women — not natural men pretending to be something they’re not. Radical ‘gender theory’ has no place in college sports.”
Paxton said he wants the court to issue a permanent injunction barring the NCAA from allowing transgender athletes in women’s sports in Texas or “including Texas teams, or otherwise requiring the NCAA to stop marketing events as ‘women’s’ when they are in fact mixed-sex competitions,” the report said. of news.

“College athletics is the premier stage for women’s sports in America, and while the NCAA will not comment on pending lawsuits, the Association and its members will continue to promote Title IX, generate unprecedented revenue for women’s sports and ensure fair competition in all NCAA tournaments,” the organization said. .
