The "friendly folks" referenced in this quote, "Harper let the spittle fly all over the friendly folks at Outsports," is, you'll be shocked to learn, trans-identified male Karleigh Chardonnay Webb, who never met a female-only space or sport that KCW wouldn't enthusiastically breach.
Meanwhile, Nike is still funding the Tucker Center with that $1 million or so investment in teaching female coaches how to be "gender inclusive" of males in girls' sports, right? Curious minds would love an update on that too if you get a chance. Like the Women's Sports Foundation, that used to be a leading, respected feminist org.
Thanks Mariah! My guess is Nike's $$ for the Tucker Center's indoctrination program is largely spent. That program is fully operational. I know it's still being offered to coaches, in MN, still optional. I might be able to do a FOIA request to see if any remaining funds have been shut off
Yes. Makes sense. I wish we could make some inroads with the Tucker Center. I know the director, but have not reached out to her. Maybe that would be worthwhile. I’ve hit a lot of brick walls with such conversations, but I am persistent!
By all means, give it a go. My experience with both thedirector of the Tucker Center and the director of the Coaching HER program is that very quickly they resort to mantras—TW is a W—and refer you to Athlete Ally for "science."

Bill Bowerman must be turning over in his grave to see Nike losing the plot and funding this nonsense.
Not any more they aren't
A company named for the goddESS of victory, no less •______•
Love it. Thanks, Sarah.

"hate" means nothing now. It is thrown around so casually and used to defend such weak arguments that it has lost all meaning.
