The UNR women's volleyball team voted to forfeit their match against San José State University, citing solidarity with other teams opposing the participation of a transgender athlete.
UNR players expressed their stand for safety and fair competition, refusing to play under circumstances they believed advanced injustice against female athletes.
Despite the athletic department's prior decision for the team to play, they clarified that the players' independent decision does not reflect the university's stance.
Governor Joe Lombardo endorsed the players' choice, stating that no student athlete should feel pressured to compete in an environment they deem unsafe.
