Charlie Baker And The NCAA Roll Over For Donald Trump | Defector
Briefly

Donald Trump's recent executive order aims to ban trans athletes from competing in women’s sports, presenting a controversial interpretation of Title IX. This move threatens federal funding for schools that uphold trans rights, and will likely face legal challenges. NCAA president Charlie Baker quickly endorsed the order, signaling a shift in NCAA policy despite previous acknowledgments that there are very few trans athletes in the NCAA. Critics argue these bans do not address fairness, but rather perpetuate a culture war against trans individuals.
None of that stopped Baker from signaling his eagerness to adopt Trump's deranged culture-war edict as official NCAA policy.
These trans sports bans are a solution in search of a problem.
