From Fox News: San Jose State transgender women’s volleyball player Blaire Fleming will be allowed to compete for the Spartans in the Mountain West Conference tournament and the rest of the season, a judge ruled on Monday.
Federal Judge Kato Crews in Colorado, who was appointed by President Biden in January, denied a motion for injunctive relief in college volleyball players’ lawsuit against the Mountain West Conference, according to OutKick.
Crews wrote the plaintiffs’ request for an emergency delay “was not reasonable” and “would risk confusion and upend months of planning and would prejudice, at a minimum, (San Jose State) and other teams participating in the tournament.”
The players, who represented several schools in the Mountain West Conference, sought to have forfeits rescinded, the standings adjusted and Fleming banned from the tournament citing First Amendment and Title IX violations.
Outkick reporter Dan Zaksheske announced, “BREAKING: Biden-appointed federal judge denies motion for injunctive relief in Mountain West lawsuit. Forfeits remain as losses, transgender Blaire Fleming is eligible to play in the conference tournament and SJSU remains the #2 seed with a first-round bye.”

Former college swimmer and conservative activist Riley Gaines wrote, “A federal judge just ruled in favor of a male athlete who has been injuring defenseless women in volleyball for years. It’s time to remove these activist judges who refuse to uphold the law as it was intended.”

Judge Shane Kato Crews, 49, just assumed office in January of this year. During Crews’ confirmation hearings last year, he couldn’t even answer a basic question by Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.) about the ‘Brady motion,’ something every lawyer and judge is supposed to be familiar with.

However, the Democrat-led Senate Judiciary Committee cheered when Crews was confirmed, touting that he “is an accomplished litigator and jurist, currently serving as this court’s first Black magistrate judge.”

X user ‘Old Wolf’ reacted, “This is why elections matter. Judges are not impartial or unbiased. You get what you vote for. Girls that have worked so hard for so long shouldn’t have to lose their opportunity to an average male athlete. There’s so much work ahead to unwind the rot in our system.”

meanwhile this Biden-appointed judge S Kato Crews from Colorado just ruled that the female volleyball teams in the @MountainWest have to play against a biological male on #SJSUVB who has taken a scholarship and playing time away from a deserving female who worked her whole life at her craft.
And his reasoning was basically that the damage has already been done.

It’s one thing to hear about the male advantage in volleyball: higher jumps, harder spikes, faster serves.
But it’s another thing to see it. Watch as male SJSU player Blaire Fleming dominates this women’s game—with a team-best 24 kills—on Saturday, 11/16.
