CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY APRIL 7, 2025
IT’S HAPPENED AGAIN AND WILL LIKELY KEEP HAPPPENING UNLESS THE SPORTS INDUSTRY GETS A BACKBONE.
THIS TIME THE SPORT IS FENCING. STEPHANIE TURNER KNELT ON A FENCING STRIP RATHER THAN FACE A MAN WHO THINKS HE’S A WOMAN. THE INCIDENT TOOK PLACE MARCH 30 AT THE UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND. IN AN INTERVIEW, TURNER SAID SHE WAS INSPIRED BY RILEY GAINS, ANOTHER FEMALE WHO RECEIVED NATIONAL ATTENTION WHEN SHE PROTESTED HAVING TO COMPETE AGAINST A MAN WHO CLAIMED TO BE A WOMAN IN COLLEGE SWIMMING.
WHEN IT CAME TO STEPHANIE TURNER, DID THE NATIONAL FENCING OFFICE DO THE RIGHT THING? DID THEY SIDE WITH TURNER OVER A MAN WHOSE BODY STRENGTH GIVES HIM A HUGE ADVANTAGE? DID THEY STAND FOR COMMON SENSE? THE ANSWER TO ALL OF THOSE QUESTIONS IS NO. THEY SIDED WITH WOKE CULTURE AND DISQUALIFIED TURNER.
WE’VE HEARD ALL THE ARGUMENTS ABOUT UNFAIRNESS AND MALE ADVANTAGE. PRESIDENT TRUMP SIGNED AN EXECUTIVE ORDER BANNING MEN PLAYING IN WOMEN’S SPORTS, BUT THERE IS STILL RESISTANCE. RECALL THE GOVERNOR OF MAINE, A WOMAN, SIDING WITH THE TRANSGENDERS.
THIS IS EVIDENCE OF AMERICA’S MORAL CONFUSION AND A CONSEQUENCE OF THE ABANDONMENT OF A STANDARD THAT DEFINES RIGHT FROM WRONG. I’M CAL THOMAS.
