The @nypost honored my request to change its altered headline on an aggregate of my story for @FoxNews. The Post's headline no longer refers to the athlete in this story as "her." The original headline on Fox News didn't refer to the athlete as "her." nypost.com/2025/07/18/spo…
The Mountain West comissioner gave a mistaken answer about hiring the same law firm to do a misconduct probe against Blaire Fleming that was hired in a legal dispute over the athlete's eligibility. So now the conference has finally addressed the issue. foxnews.com/sports/mountai…

Oregon is now the latest state to face a lawsuit from girls' athletes over gender eligibility policies in high school sports.
🚨BREAKING-- @A1Policy has filed a federal lawsuit defending high school girls in Oregon, challenging the state’s policy that allows males to compete in girls’ sports in violation of Title IX. These reckless, ideology-driven policies are putting girls in unsafe and unfair…
The California Department of Education has rejected the Trump admin's proposal to protect women's sports. Now, a referral to the Department of Justice is likely to be made. The DOJ launched a lawsuit against Maine for similar defiance in April.
