San Jose State University has finally acknowledged that it has lost a significant number of women from its volleyball team amid the ongoing controversy over the school’s decision to include a transgender player.
The mass exodus comprises at least seven players who have entered the college transfer portal and will leave the team after this 2024 school year.
SJSU’s volleyball season was beset with protests against the school for allowing transgender player Blaire Fleming to play as a female on the team. There was also a whole host of other pressures, including police officers detailed to make sure the angry opposition did not harm SJSU’s players, eight forfeited games—including one playoff game—not to mention the turmoil between the players who opposed Fleming’s participation on one hand and coach Todd Kress and the school for forcing Fleming upon the players.
Kress proclaimed the 2024 season one of the “most difficult” he ever faced.
“This has been one of the most difficult seasons I’ve ever experienced, and I know this is true as well for many of our players and the staff who have been supporting us all along. Maintaining our focus on the court and ensuring the overall safety and well-being of my players amid the external noise have been my priorities,” Kress said, according to Fox News.
But Kress also lashed out at the schools that refused to play his team over Fleming’s inclusion and angrily insisted, “We did not take away anyone’s participation opportunities.”
