Here’s a quote from that first article by the Wyoming AD which is relevant to the “it’s a safety issue!” complaint: “I do think it's important to note, we have played against this athlete for the past two seasons and our student-athletes felt safe in the previous matches,” Burman wrote. "She is not the best or most dominant hitter on the Spartans team. Having said that it doesn't make it ok.

San Jose State lost in the conference tournament final

Defending what? I am defending the opposing team’s opportunity to be the ones that actually make the decision whether or not to play. According to this article, at least the first time Wyoming forfeited it was not the players’ choice. The outside pressure came from both “activist groups” some of which are named in the article, but also the state legislature which supposedly threatened to cut funding to the university. https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/columnist/dan-wolken/2024/10/29/san-jose-state-volleyball-boise-state-wyoming-forfeit/75914113007/

Looking a little more into this, it looks like when Wyoming forfeited during the regular season it may not have been their choice and that it was influenced by “outside pressure.” https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/other/wyoming-volleyball-coach-worried-about-political-pressure-to-forfeit-vs-san-jose-state/ar-AA1tNjec Again, I commend the players if they made this choice. But hopefully they’re actually the ones that made the choice.

Here is a video of Boise State celebrating their win in the last round, and you can see the logo for San Jose State already there as the opponent. The team x account even put the hashtag “what’s next.” Doesn’t seem like they knew they were going to be forfeiting IMO https://twitter.com/BroncoSportsVB/status/1861963647645565058

I’m kinda wondering if the Idaho governor is directing Boise State to forfeit. He’s made a lot of x posts about it.

But also easier to prove that they’re nonsense. See Tim Walz

Yes, they forfeited because there is a biological male on the other team. But they didn’t say it was for safety reasons.

Kudos to Boise State for sure, but the statement didn’t say it was for safety reasons.

Again, I didn’t say I think the allegations are true. In the case of Hegseth my guess is they aren’t. But just pointing out that they are very serious.

No one was charged is not the same as “the allegations were deemed not credible.”

I don’t have “my own,” and I literally said I wasn’t saying they were true. But there’s a police report here and investigations into Gaetz, this isn’t a Kavanaugh situation of some lady just saying something decades later.

What her husband did before he even met her is pretty irrelevant, and a single woman’s sex life isn’t really comparable to allegations of rape. Not saying they’re true, but the allegations against Hegseth and Gaetz are much more serious.

Apparently not many people have. You’d think if his story was legit the book would be better than # 19,668 on Amazon

Did you attend the 7th annual Bigfoot conference?

But it says most of it was marijuana…

“Caught” for what? Is it illegal to make up stories about UFO’s?

No

They’re planes https://twitter.com/jimpfaff/status/1862330864366927932

I said you can take a break from loony conspiracy theories, doesn’t mean we need to take a break from laughing at people that believe in loony conspiracy theories especially when they start threads about them on Thanksgiving. HTH

No it shouldn’t, that’s why HR should incorporate diversity initiatives. If an entire department or something is all the same race then there was probably some racism involved in the hiring, even if unintentional.

So you’re saying you agree that @Frozenbeernuts is crazy?

I didn’t start the thread genius

How is it “no doubt tied to Diddy”?
