I would guess that women active in NCAA sports in any capacity probably vote at least 80% Democrat.
I hope they get what's coming to them here....good and hard. |

I've always thought Title 9 (equal opportunity regardless of sex in college athletics) should allow a male at BSU to try-out for the women's track and cross country teams. After all, if you're a male distance runner on BSU's campus right now, you can't participate in college sports while a female can. This levels the playing field. Now I'm being sarcastic there of course, but damn elections have consequences.

Not exactly.
Looking briefly at the site referred in the original post and the wide range of spurious conspiracy theory featured there should raise a little question about reliability of the conclusion reached.
Suspicion about mainstream media bias I understand, but it should not allow suspension of belief about sites that represent themselves as alternative. Not only is their editorial bias a "feature" not a bug, but they simply don't do good journalism and check the facts or do careful analysis.

This from a guy who has posted links to VOX. VOX definitely is left leaning. Founded by Esra Klein a liberal, but quite professional, journalist. But it is hardly a source of conspiracy theory and hate speech. It is part of a larger scale, professional media operation, VOX Media, not limited to politics, with websites active in sports and areas other than political opinion. On top of that it is not in any way as extreme. Go to the link in the post above. Click around. Look at other sources describing the operations. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ron_Unzen.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vox_Media Unz has gone from conservative to extreme. |

"Quite professional " = never brings up unpleasant facts contrary to the narrative

"Quite professional " = never brings up unpleasant facts contrary to the narrative We've had transgender athletes eligible for Olympic competition since 2003. None have made an impact. We've had transgender athletes eligible in NCAA sports for some time. I don't see a big impact there.
Maybe it's not quite the disaster people are claiming it is? Transgender athletes are pretty rare, and we don't evidence of these cases going through the transition to play sports on women's teams.

"Quite professional " = never brings up unpleasant facts contrary to the narrative What narrative? Are you arguing VOX media is not a professional media organization? Or that UNZ is not out on the fringe? Or are you arguing transgender athletes are common and producing a big problem for women's sports? |

VOX, for example, is quite incapable of confronting crime statistics or standardized test scores in a forthright manner. They have their one magical explanation for everything and that's good enough for them. Saves one all sorts of unpleasant crime-think.

Oh sure 00 dumbass VOX is all about high-brow objective journalism.
The entire website is nothing but left wing tropes with click bait headlines.

The entire website is nothing but left wing tropes with click bait headlines. VOX is left leaning, but far more mainstream left and middle, and far more moderate than UNZ's far right voice, accompanied by substantial outright racist, sexist, anti-semitic screed, inconsistent with conservative thought. VOX is a part of a thoroughly professional media group, unlike UNZ which viewed generously is purely a weblog and editorial outlet, with fake news as a feature not a bug. |

Unaware?
You cite no credible source supporting your opinion about VOX media group or UNZ.
Anything specific you can say comparing the two sources of information?
Did you read the material I linked providing support for my position?

Everyone in my echo chamber considers VOX a down-the-middle, reputable source, so obviously they are.
