University of Nevada, Reno, is facing backlash over its refusal to support its women’s volleyball team, which had announced it would not be playing against San Jose State University’s women’s team because of its trans-identifying male player. It started when the UNR women’s volleyball team released a statement that made it the fifth university to forfeit its game against SJSU because the California school’s team’s star player is a male. “We, the University of Nevada Reno women’s volleyball team, forfeit against @SJSU and stand united in solidarity with the volleyball teams of Southern Utah University, Boise State University, the University of Wyoming, & Utah State University,” the statement read in part, as previously reported. The statement included that the girls demanded “that our right to safety and fair competition on the court be upheld. We refuse to participate in any match that advances injustice against female athletes.” INSANE response from @unevadareno after the women’s volleyball team decided to forfeit their match against SJSU. This is the intimidation & emotional blackmail that girls face when they stand up for themselves. Hold the line girls, @NevadaWVB. We’re all behind you!

Former collegiate swimmer and outspoken advocate for women’s sports Riley Gaines slammed the response by the university, first sharing the statement and then calling it “INSANE.” “This is the intimidation [and] emotional blackmail that girls face when they stand up for themselves,” Gaines wrote. “Hold the line girls, @NevadaWVB. We’re all behind you! BOYcott,” she added. Megyn Kelly of “The Megyn Kelly Show” podcast also reposted the article about the girls refusing to play and threw her support to them after they lost the university’s support. “A 5th team forfeits in D1 collegiate women’s volleyball rather than play against a team w/a male player,” Kelly wrote. “This, as their own school turns on them, content to endanger them by pressuring them to play,” she added. “The girls aren’t having it. GOOD FOR THEM.” Related: Fourth University Women’s Team Refuses To Play Against Trans-Identifying Male

CNN Republican commentator Scott Jennings mocked Vice President Kamala Harris for her sudden interest in former President Donald Trump’s health and advanced age, noting the irony after she’d spent most of the last four years covering for President Joe Biden’s obvious decline. Jennings made the comments during a Monday evening panel discussion, where he argued that Harris’ argument — that Trump should make all of his medical records public — was likely to fall flat. WATCH; Watching Harris lean into attacks on Trump “mental acuity” is just rich, given her role in the Biden coverup. Some pushback to the Dem lectures on @cnn last night. pic.twitter.com/5zGkHb1t4j — Scott Jennings (@ScottJenningsKY) October 15, 2024 Jennings started off with a little free advice for Harris and her campaign, arguing that it was not a great look for her to push that line of attack. “If I were Harris, I wouldn’t be leaning too heavily into who’s hiding what kind of medical conditions of people who are or want to be the president given her role in lying about the condition of Joe Biden for the last four years,” he said. “That’s number one.” “Number two, I don’t think this works for her,” he continued. “I think — I’m back in the same bucket I was earlier. You’re not selling your own candidacy, you’re punching Donald Trump in the same way every other Democrat we’ve ever heard from for the last eight, nine years has punched this guy. That’s not the problem with your campaign. We’ve heard all the attacks on Trump. If she can’t sell her own candidacy any better than just punching on him, for her, if I were in her camp — I just don’t know if it’s going to be enough.” MATT WALSH’S ‘AM I RACIST?’ COMING TO DAILYWIRE+ OCT. 28 Another panelist suggested it was good for the Harris campaign to remind people of Trump’s age and mental acuity, and Jennings cut back in. “Honestly, just to be lectured by Democrats about, ‘You have to have mental acuity to be the President of the United States,'” Jennings added in mocking tones. “After what we just lived through for the last four years? Come on! Don’t lecture me about mental acuity and the presidency … Democrats, who all — you included — who all assured us that Joe Biden was riding unicycles and juggling knives in the Oval Office.” “We all know that wasn’t true, and Harris was the chief cheerleader for that — the lectures about the mental acuity, come on,” he concluded.
