Nevada Volleyball Team Defies University, Forfeits Match Against San Jose State

The team cites safety and fairness concerns over competing against a San Jose State team with a transgender player.

University of Nevada women's volleyball team voted to forfeit their October 26 match against San Jose State, despite the university's decision to proceed with the game.
Nevada players expressed concerns about safety and fairness, aligning with other teams that have also forfeited matches against San Jose State this season.
The controversy centers around Blaire Fleming, a transgender athlete on the San Jose State team, sparking debate over NCAA policies on transgender athletes in women's sports.
Nevada's athletic department stated that the match would continue as planned, but players would not face disciplinary action if they chose not to participate.
The decision has garnered support from various public figures, including Nevada's Governor and women's sports advocate Riley Gaines, who applauded the players' stance.
