Gender Studies 2: Boogaloo

Same sh-t, different day.

On December 23, 1946, the all-white University of Tennessee basketball team chose to forfeit its game against Duquesne University rather than play on the court with Duquesne’s one Black player.

The University of Tennessee arrived in McKeesport, Pennsylvania, on December 23 to play Duquesne University in a Monday night basketball game. When the all-white team from Tennessee arrived to find that their opponents planned to play their Black center and star player, freshman Chuck Cooper, Coach John Mauer from Tennessee called a meeting. The Tennessee coach announced that both he and his players refused to play the scheduled game if Duquesne allowed their Black player to compete.

The two coaches argued for two hours, until the Duquesne coach finally agreed that he would not play Mr. Cooper “unless he had to, in a close game.” So committed to segregation, the University of Tennessee men’s basketball team walked off the court and forfeited the game entirely, rather than risk having to play even for a short time against a Black player. More than 2,600 fans who had already congregated in the gym were sent home after Tennessee forfeited. Chuck Cooper would later become the first Black player drafted by an NBA team.

During this era, across the country, college teams repeatedly refused to permit white and Black players to play together on the court or field, resulting in dozens of cancelled or forfeited games. That same fall in 1946, the all-white Miami University and Mississippi State basketball teams also refused to play against racially integrated opponents.

I was watching some of the NCAA Women’s Volleyball tournament this weekend and noticed that San Jose State wasn’t playing. Didn’t even make the tournament. Funny, according to those right wing people forfeiting SJSU should’ve been an unstoppable force. It’s almost like this was a political stunt…

I actually do wonder what would happen if those forfeiting schools had to play the top teams in the B1G, ACC, or SEC?

In regards to athletics, males play with males and females play with females.

Try to figure it out.

Somewhere else, I read someone saying if you watch Nebraska vs. Wisconsin, you'll realize the San Jose player doesn't even come close to being able to spike the way these players can.

If the NCAA had any chutzpah at all, they would straight up suspend the programs that do this.

Most of the forfeiting teams would **** their pants against Nebraska or Wisconsin.

I play goalie including about ten years in indoor. I wouldn't exactly want to be on the receiving end of one of those spikes. And I'm used to standing in front of soccer balls coming in at similar speeds.

Thank Parise for automatic line calls because I wouldn’t want to be a line judge on one of those matches. One miss hit by a 6’4” daughter of a former linebacker at the school middle blocker and it’s over.
 
As I understand it, this unnamed volleyball player isn't trans? Just tall and outside the definition of "traditional feminine appearance?"
 
I was in a different work location this past week and my peers were more blue collar. I overheard a group of guys in our mixed-gender discussing going offsite to the Training Center.

It's their code Hooters.
