Yandere school mean girl clique pretty please
Mean towards you, or mean towards everyone else because of you?
I kind of imagined a small group of elite yandere students who are convinced no one else is as worthy of you as they are. Look at you and your cute, pathetic little attempts. Clearly you need someone to guide you, and you'll want the best of the best for it. Them.
Student offering to help you with homework? They'll quickly circle your desk, scowling at the intruder, and loudly declare they already have the most efficient solutions.
Student approaching you to say they brought your favorite dessert for lunch? The squad, as if summoned from the depths, will slam their trays onto the table, speedily occupying all the chairs.
"Haven't you heard? (Y/N) isn't even into that thing anymore", they'll remark with a cocky grin. "Now scram, we're busy."
Yes, you can sit with them. Only you.
"On Wednesdays we stalk (Y/N)."
"It’s like I have ESPN or something. My breasts can always tell when (Y/N) is going to show up. Well, they can tell when (Y/N) is here."
[Yandere School Masterlist] | Front uniform design humbly borrowed from @smokeysweater, specifically from this post!

"Wolfe, a reporter with Mississippi Today, a nonprofit, online news outlet, won the Pulitzer for detailing a disturbing $77 million welfare fraud scandal in the nation's second-poorest state, a scandal headlined by Mississippi's most famous athlete, Brett Favre.
The reporting described how, with then-Gov. Phil Bryant in office, Favre and a handful of others scored millions of dollars that were supposed to go to welfare families but were instead used on projects that included a college volleyball facility and a concussion drug company.
Favre's involvement elevated the story into national news, providing fodder for talking heads from Fox News to ESPN. In no time, some people were going to sarcastic extremes over the story, such as shirts that went on sale saying, in all capital letters, "Brett Favre stole money from poor people. Go Bears."
Bryant and Favre both have said they had no idea the money was designated for welfare families.
It was against that backdrop last spring, a month shy of her 29th birthday, that Wolfe won the Pulitzer and celebrated with family, friends and colleagues at Hal & Mal's, a Jackson institution. It was a moment that should have capped the journey on a story Wolfe had been chasing for five years.
Instead, not long after the Pulitzers were announced, the former governor sued Mississippi Today for defamation, setting off a battle that not only soured Wolfe's and Mississippi Today's moment but, more troubling to Wolfe, turned the focus away from the scandal itself.
That's because not only has Bryant's lawsuit not gone away despite Mississippi Today's insistence that its reporting is truthful, but the former governor also recently asked a circuit court to hold Wolfe and the news organization in contempt of court. The governor wants all of Wolfe's notes. He wants her emails. He wants her confidential sources. And the judge has ordered, at the very least, that Wolfe and Co. show him what they've got so he can determine its relevance to the case.
Mississippi Today has called the order "unconstitutional" and appealed to the state supreme court. Either way, Wolfe and her boss, Adam Ganucheau, have said there's no way they're giving up confidential sources. They say they would rather defy the court and face possible jail or, probably more likely, see their news organization get hammered with substantial damages.
What was once a story about poverty, power and Brett Favre, has now become a battle involving the First Amendment."

Here are some jojo villain house headcannons for the TV shows/channels I think jojo villains would enjoy.
••••••••••••••••••••••
Dio
Luxury Living Network: Likes to revel in shows about wealth, power, and decadence. Think Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous.
National Geographic: Enjoys watching predators hunt their prey. He’d identify with the top of the food chain.
The History Channel (Old School): Enjoys historical conquest stories, especially those about rulers like Julius Caesar or Genghis Khan.
Trashy reality shows on TLC would also be a guilty pleasure. He lives for the dramatic betrayals.
Kars
Animal Planet: Loves learning about the animal kingdom and biology, particularly predator-prey dynamics. He’d judge how far evolution has come since his era.
Discovery Channel: Loves documentaries about science, geology, and life on earth, though he’d scoff at any inaccuracies.
Sci-Fi channel: He’s secretly amused by humans' imagination of evolution and alien life.
Esidisi
Telenovelas/Soap opera Channels: Enjoys dramatic and over-the-top emotions—his own temper tantrums mirror them perfectly.
Wrestling Channels (WWE for example): Finds the combat entertaining and relates to the theatrical aggression.
Wamuu
Sports Channels (ESPN, Olympic Channel): Drawn to competition and strength. He’s especially invested in combat sports like MMA or wrestling.
Military History Channel: Respects the strategies and honor involved in ancient warfare.
Kira
HGTV: Finds peace in watching mundane home improvement or interior design shows, which align with his “quiet” lifestyle.
True Crime channels: Obsessed with watching shows like Forensic Files, hoping to pick up tips on how to avoid getting caught.
Fashion Network: Enjoys looking at high-end clothing.
Diavolo
Old school MTV: Likes the chaotic energy as it aligns with his paranoia.
Crime Networks: Loves anything that teaches him how to cover his tracks and outsmart enemies.
Vogue Network: Secretly enjoys high fashion shows for their eccentric designs (much like his clothing…choices).
Doppio
Cartoons: Despite being an adult, Doppio has a childlike innocence and would gravitate toward shows like The amazing Spiderman, enjoying the light-heartedness,. I think he’d mostly prefer old school shows like Batman the animated series or the old X-men show. Maybe Arthur, Powerpuff girls, Avengers, Clifford, etc.
Cooking Shows (Food Network): Doppio seems like he craves comfort, so watching cooking shows like those holiday baking ones or Master Chef could offer him a sense of warmth and happiness. I think he’d try to show the boss what he learned from them and try to cook simple things.
Pucci
Religious Channels: Watches sermons to draw inspiration. Though I do think he’d strongly dislike the kinds of televangelists that scam vulnerable people.
Discovery/Space Channels: Interested in space and time shows, considering his obsession with Heaven and universal perfection.
Classical Music Channel: Finds focus in orchestral music and opera broadcasts. Probably plays it in the background as he reads or annotates his Bible.
Funny Valentine
News Networks (C-SPAN, BBC): Watches political coverage and speeches to stay informed and critique the current state of governance and the world.
History Channel: Studies historical conflicts and leadership tactics.
Classic Movie Channels: Watches patriotic films or period dramas for inspiration and comfort.

PSA: if you want to watch any UConn games this season please read below:
Couple options to watch:
TOMORROWS GAME VS BOSTON COLLEGE IS ON SNY.
1. If you don’t have cable (i.e. you pay for live tv) at all you are most likely out of luck, unfortunately to watch women’s sports it almost always requires a subscription of some sort at least for regular season/non-primetime games.
- You will need a tv provider that offers fox sports: these inside Sling TV, Hulu + Live Tv, DirectTV stream, or fubo.
- Check them out as most of them offer a free trial or heavy discounts for your first month, but make sure you cancel before it’s up if you don’t want to pay!
- my parents are old and have cable so I’m leaching off of their directTV account LMAO
- Most of the games will be on a regional sports network called SNY. Some of the bigger matchups will be on ESPN channels, FOX main channels, CBS and ABC. The Bahamas games are on an app called flohoops. I will post about how to use these in later weeks!
2. If you live inside SNY’s regional territory (NY, CT, parts of NJ, and PA) AND have SNY as a channel through your TV provider all you have to do is go to that channel when the games start. SN: you may need to add a sports package to your plan if you can’t access it.
3. If you are like me and DO NOT live in SNY’s regional territory BUT you do have some form of cable this is what you need to do
- download the fox sports app onto your device (can be a mobile phone or an iPad) and log in with your tv provider
- you should be able to access the games and then you can stream to your smart tv!
- you can get the fox sports app on your tv but it’s very slow so I’d recommend not doing that!

ESPN needs to be investigated for sending push notifications every time Clark gets fouled. I want to know which ESPN producers are responsible. I want a name.
It's really insane. And it's designed to make people angry. It makes every fan angry in some way and it works. Some people are angry for Caitlin, some are angry at her, and some are angry at ESPN. Everybody's mad. And it's unpleasant when we're all mad like this. ESPN really is trash. It didn't have to be like this. I blame them for covering Caitlin's first year in this confrontational way. I don't think it's fair to her or to anyone else in the sport.

Metronomics
Sometimes it's too much, Gotham. Too much putting his body on the line for a city that can't and won't change.
Bruce imagines what his life could have been, what his children's lives could have been, if things had been different.
~~
Sometimes it's too much. Gotham. Too polluted, too populated, to poor...
Morally poor, he should say. The money's never been more than a means to an end for Bruce and he's never cared who has or hasn't got it. Even if he knows that's evidence enough of how out of touch he really is. To not be, and never have been, the levels of desperate so many of his fellow Gothamites have. Are. But he can't change that now. Not after a lifetime of more money than he could ever hope to spend (and God knows he's tried).
And it's not that he thinks poverty equals moral corruptness. Of course not. But God, if it doesn't cause a rot that's hard to escape. An agony deep in the bones, like an atomic bomb. Almost a century since, but still poisoning the ground and the air and the lives where it fell.
It's too much, sometimes. Gotham. Decades of putting his body, his heart, mind on the line for a city that doesn't change and can't change and... Won't.
Part of his Brucie-rich-boy-bit has always been a pretend man of the people. 'Billionaire spotted on Chicago's L-train', a picture of him in $5,000 jeans, throwing a peace sign on the platform at Quincy. 'Bruce Wayne joins the commute on Bangkok's BTS Skytrain' sunburned and sweaty and grinning like a moron. Public transport is easy when you don't need it. The delays, the overcrowding, the cost. All part of the big adventure when you're rich and famous.
He's deliberate in his appearances. Shows up too big to be allowed and always lost. Asking fellow travellers for directions and breaking every unspoken, local rule. Stopping at the bottom of escalators and standing on the right and never having his ticket ready at the barriers... but he's deliberate in his anonymity too.
He's ridden the New York subway and Shanghai's metro and Vienna's U-bahn more times than he can count. Undercover, trailing marks and tailing suspects, slipping past local police and resident gangsters alike. Just another nameless face in the crowd.
But then there's the times he's just there as himself. Times he rides the lines as Bruce. Not the billionaire, not the Bat. Just Bruce. Grey Ghost fan, hates mushrooms, loves dinosaurs. Father, friend, son. Just another traveller amidst the millions. Nobody wanting anything from him, nobody talking to him, nobody even noticing him. It's freedom unlike any he's ever known.
It makes him wonder what his life might have been. If he hadn't been born in the South Wing's master bedroom of Wayne Manor. What his children's lives might have been, if their father had just been a man, and not this man.
Dick for sure, Olympic medallist. There's no doubt. Even without the money and the training and the classes, his boy was destined for greatness. Gold medals and podiums and adoration. Coaching and teaching and leading. And, Bruce fancies, probably the ESPN correspondent for major competitions. Team USA coach. International Olympic Committee. Whatever Dick wanted; in any life there's nothing he couldn't do.
Cass, Bruce likes to think, would have been an architect. If she'd ever been afforded a normal life, ever been given the tender love and care she so deserved as a child. She reads people with ease, drilled into her as it was by Cain; a skill as crucial as its learning was cruel. But given a normal life? Architecture, Bruce is sure. The way she navigates space, the way she uses it and understands it. What better way to make a life than creating in the space she so fully inhabits? Designing structures that change the way people live, challenge how they think. She'd have been glorious.
Tim, on the other hand... Tim. If Bruce thinks about him too long the guilt starts to set in. His brilliant boy, just next door; alone for so long. Bruce was intimately familiar with the experience, though at least he'd had Alfred when he'd been young. If only he'd just paid more attention, he could have— anyway. In another time, one where Bruce rides the subway and to work and Tim doesn't spend the first decade of his life by himself, surely he'd be some fintech billionaire wizz kid by now. He'd have created a Facebook or eBay or Venmo. But better. Kinder. Richer probably than Bruce, now. And he'd still ride the metro next to his old man.
Damian, Bruce's youngest, sweetest boy. Who knows what Damian could have been, in a life where Bruce and Talia kissed each other goodbye every morning and sweet dreams each night. He's a gentle soul, really, fierce as he is. Shows it in his affection for animals. Gives them the tenderness he never had as a child. Who knows what he could have been in a life filled with light instead of shadow. Warmth and love instead of the League's relentless dark. A scientist maybe, or an astronaut. A teacher, a vet, a nurse. Whatever he wanted. A gardener, a piano tuner, a cab driver. Happy, whatever it was. And safe in the knowledge he was loved.
And then... and then, Jason. Bruce thinks of his second son the most, as he rides the rails. Takes the Bakerloo south from Marylebone and the Tanamachi west to Hirano. What Jason could have been, if things had been different. It doesn't seem fair to dwell on it. To imagine the darling, sweet boy who had been Robin as anything but. To disrespect the incredible fucking gift he's already been given of a second chance, by imagining it as any different. So instead he thinks that Jason would still be Robin. Still Red Hood. Still saving people, still putting himself on the line to make the world better. Even if Bruce didn't love the way he did it, he still loved Jason. Gods did he love him. It's too much, sometimes.
Gotham. Sometimes she's too much. But most of the time, most of the time she was everything. His home, his children's home.
To see the sun rise from the east corner of the clocktower with Cass and swing between the crumbling art deco blocks of Coventry, Dick by his side. Racing down her labyrinth of alleyways and side streets with Tim and even negotiating her sewers with Damian. And Jason. Just seeing Jason's face, scowling at him though it usually is, as he waits outside the Collins Street station for Bruce to arrive.
"Your late." He grunts, as Bruce climbs the steps of the subway. He looks at his watch irritably. "If we miss brunch, you're paying."
"Of course," Bruce says, a warm hand on Jason's shoulder as they begin to walk. "Anything for you, chum."
She's too much, sometimes. Gotham. But most of the time? She's exactly where he wants to be

SINGER NIALL HORAN INVESTS IN FENWAY SPORTS, MCILROY TGL TEAM
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/1c6d310149cc6455f7ecab251065d825/0d4e6565575cb24a-d9/s540x810/8a777b79217eacd013cb6b2013d6ad7b3ff9c85a.jpg)
Singer-songwriter Niall Horan will tee it up as the latest investor in TGL, the tech-infused team golf league backed by Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy. Horan, who first gained fame as a member of boy band One Direction, invested in Boston Common Golf through his investment vehicle Greenbridge Ventures.
Boston Common Golf is one of the six inaugural TGL teams and owned by Fenway Sports Group and McIlroy’s investment firm, Symphony Ventures.
McIlroy and Horan both hail from Ireland and have been longtime friends. “Golf has been a lifelong passion of mine,” Horan said in a statement. “Being able to combine my love for the game and my friendship with Rory into a relationship that helps launch a new concept in golf is truly special.”
TGL teams will each feature four golfers hitting shots into a golf simulator screen until they are within 50 yards of the hole and the action transfers to a short game area that transforms between holes. The season includes 15 matches, plus playoffs.
Horan will also serve as an ambassador for Boston Common Golf, which will benefit from his massive social media following, which includes 72 million combined followers on Instagram and Twitter—Woods has 10 million and McIlroy 6 million.
In 2015, Horan launched a sports agency focused on golf, Modest! Golf Management, with his business partner, Mark McDonnell. Their clients include Tyrrell Hatton, who has won six European Tour events and one on the PGA Tour. That same year, Horan served as McIlroy’s caddie in the Masters’ annual Par 3 Contest.
In addition to his singing career, Horan was a coach the past year on The Voice and coached the winner in back-to-back seasons. He is currently on the North American leg of his global tour.
TGL was slated to start play this January, but delayed its inaugural season to begin Jan. 7, 2025 after a power failure caused the dome of the SoFi Center in Palm Beach Gardens to deflate. The required repairs led the TGL to delay a year. Last month, Horan visited TGL’s performance lab to preview the technology that will be used in the competition.
The SoFi Center will boast a 3,000-square-foot simulator screen and a 22,475-square-foot customizable short game area. TGL rules also include a shot clock, and the league plans for players to be mic’d up during the action. A seating area for 1,500 has been designed around the playing zone.
Matches will be broadcast on ESPN and ESPN+.
The six, location-tied teams for TGL’s inaugural season: Atlanta Drive GC, Boston, Jupiter Links GC, Los Angeles Golf Club, New York Golf Club and the Bay Golf Club, have attracted heavy hitters in the sports space, including Arthur Blank, Steve Cohen, Alexis Ohanian and Marc Lasry, as well as athletes Serena Williams, Stephen Curry and Giannis Antetokounmpo. Woods partnered with David Blitzer for the Jupiter franchise.

topic: clace, charles' clothing line
In a 2019 Italian interview with Motorsport.com, Charles reveals that he's about to kick off his own clothing line. Later that month, he elaborates on his vision:
"I’m starting a fashion company and I’m committed to looking for eco-friendly materials to replace what was previously made of plastic. In the past I wouldn’t have thought of it, but today there is a greater awareness of these issues!”
source: motorsport.com
This would be discussed further in an ESPN article:
Between races he has started dedicating some of his spare time to developing a fashion brand. If that sounds familiar, it’s probably because Mercedes driver Lewis Hamilton has been working with Tommy Hilfiger for the past year to develop his own collection of clothes. Leclerc says that his plans are not yet on the same scale but that he is looking to build his brand as a project alongside his racing.
"It’s only something that I enjoy doing when I’m at home with the small time I have,” he said. “I do it with the people who are helping me with this project, and that’s it. For now, it is only the start. Lewis is doing an amazing job with his collection, and it is getting bigger and bigger for him. But for me, for now, it is only a small project and it is only the beginning.”
Unlike Hamilton, Leclerc is not penning the designs himself. “I tried for the first month, but I decided if I wanted a successful thing to leave it to someone who does it better!”
source: espn.com
Charles is photographed over the next few months wearing prototypes:
And then... nothing. The line is never launched. During a COVID livestream, Charles says: "'When is CLACE coming out?' For now it's not coming out. For some reasons I can't. But maybe we can manage to do something else, even more interesting. We'll see." Anyway, Seb-- in his unemployed manic pixie driver stage-- is quick to set the record straight. In a Drive to Survive episode, Seb manhandles a blushing Charles as he explains that Ferrari and their sponsors shut it down:

DAY 7 - Lingerie
DAY 7 - Lingerie
Marcel x Reader
Content warnings: Nothing much, sexy photos, delayed satisfaction
PREVIOUS
NEXT
The lingerie you picked out was intentionally racy and extremely horny in practically every facet of its design. It was black and strappy and left and covered nothing important, favoring instead highlighting everything that’s normally hidden and when you’d treated yourself to a carefully staged photoshoot, you really didn’t hold anything back.
And now you were the proud owner of about half a gig’s worth of high res photographs- but you were never one to be stingy with your wealth. Marcel’s about to be a proud co owner of these Mostly Nudes. But you’re going to be strategic about it.
Being involved with him is pretty easy. He’s suave, charming, popular, fun-loving… but tolerating his schedule during the on-season has been challenging. He has practice twice a day for two hour each morning and evening four times a week, gym for an hour every day, and while his coaches don’t work him too hard immediately leading up to a game, he’s in team meetings constantly to review plays and past game footage with a psychotic amount of meticulousness. You’re lucky to see him once a week in private. And boy while his coaches are incredibly beady-eyed at any of the players getting distracted by Romance or the Gender Presenting Individual of their Preference, the coaches are collectively like the Eye of fucking Sauron where Marcel’s concerned. Marcel apologetically promises it's nothing personal against you he just has a fairly high body count and it makes the coaches nervous regarding his dedication.
Well you’re about to put that to the test. Maybe you should report your findings to his coaches for assurance purposes.
Marcel has a game today which means you’ll see him in the morning when you go to wish him good luck at the stadium entrance. He’s wrapped up in pregame tactics, dressing, and warm ups for several hours before the game itself begins. Marcel’s gone out of his way to make sure you have a comfortable seat in one of the few boxes with other player-related attendees and he does make cocky, victorious gestures in you direction when he’s doing his showboating in the endzone BUT the game itself lasts about three and half hours. And of course you don’t dare get your hopes up for a moment alone after the game, no. You might be able to go down to the arena level for a hug and some victory shouting but he’s usually whisked away immediately for post game review, dressing, and cool down exercise.
If you’re lucky, you’ll see him in time for a late dinner but god forbid the college paper or ESPN collegiate coverage shows up to interview him or his team or his coaching staff.
And you deal with all this with grace because you’re a magnanimous, loving partner who understands that Marcel’s got a gift and he should be encouraged to apply himself fully while he’s in his prime.
But boy you’re going to put him through the same waiting game to make sure Marcel can put in the same effort you do.
You wait for him at the stadium back entrance with the other athlete family members. Marcel sees you and bounds up to you, beaming. His slides clap loudly with his intentionally goofy run and his huge equipment bag rattles against his hip with every step. When he crushes you in a bear hug and does that overzealous side-to-side swaying he does, you (one handed, no less) deftly open his duffle and jam your hand inside, depositing the little black strappy body suit deep under his padding and jersey. Quickly you retract your hand before he can pick up on any foul play.
”Good luck out there,” you tell him as he finally pulls back.
“Man, you know I don’t need luck,” he teases, grinning broadly and making a sweeping gesture. “I’m just that good.”
You hold up your phone without letting him see the screen and in his pocket, his chirps as you text him the first photo. Before he can pull it out to look, you grab his forearm. “I’m trusting you not to get caught, okay?”
He gives you the most comically bewildered expression you’ve ever seen and you watch the set up unfold before you just like a perfectly executed pro-I left sixty-one drop eight-ten. His coaches would be proud. Maybe.
You see his big deep brown eyes- so handsome, so naive- widen to the point of goggling. Before he can say anything, his coaching staff is yelling at him to get inside and get into the locker room asap. You wave sweetly as a crowd of other players and assistants push between you and drag him off.
You check the time and smirk.
You send him three more during pregame debrief.
Then you estimate when he’s going to find that body suit stuffed in his helmet.
Then for good measure you send him several more while his coach is no doubt going over footage from last week’s game.
THEN you know he must not be able to look at his phone by this point, but you wonder if he can hear it vibrating. So you send a few more just for good measure.
You leave him to it once he takes the field but if his playing today is anything to go buy, this is a man with a singular focus. Decisive victory to end this game as fast as humanly possible.
It only takes three hours to get through the opponents and the clock. You can hear the commentary praising Marcel and likening him to various unstopabble objects.
After the game, you wait, trying not to grin, as he and the rest of the team bound victoriously into the concrete arena interior thoroughfare making a rowdy ruckus. The look on Marcel’s face is worth everything, including your falsely innocent, serene little smile.
”You!” He says, jogging up to you. But you tap your phone again shake it just under his nose.
”I think you have a loooooot of messages,” you say smugly.
And he cant get another word in before the team’s being ushered away.
And just like pregame, you decide to make his post game a fun experience too by texting him a new picture every five minutes.
That he’s not texting back only makes this more delightful for you.
When he finally texts you:
OMW >>>>:[
at 8pm you lean back and wait for the storm to come to you.

This is just based on fairness, returning the integrity of women's sports and making sure that the NCAA does what's right." - Independent Women's Forum vice president Victoria Coley
https://thepostmillennial.com/college-athletes-demand-ncaa-withdraw-rules-for-trans-player-in-womens-sports
Outside the NCAA��convention in Nashville, Tennessee, Wednesday, protestors gathered to demand that the collegiate sports governing body ban biological males from competing in women’s sports.
Inside the Gaylord Opryland Resort and Convention Center, protestors wore buttons reading "Equality is not a game" and shirts stating "Women’s sports are for women" and "Take back Title IX," per ESPN. The protest was organized by the Our Bodies, Our Sports coalition and the Independent Women’s Forum.

Former University of Nevada women’s volleyball co-captain and Independent Women’s Forum Ambassador Sia Liilii said she was there to "demand that the NCAA change their policies that discriminate on women on the basis of sex so that none of the female athletes that are up and coming have to go through the turmoil, the emotional distress, and just chaos that my team went through this year as well as other members of the Mountain West Conference." The University of Nevada’s volleyball team and others in the conference forfeited games against San Jose State University in protest of trans-identified male player Blaire Fleming.

In 2010, the NCAA adopted a policy regarding transgender athlete participation, which allowed athletes to compete in categories that did not match their birth sex. The NCAA changed its policy to be on a sport-by-sport basis in 2022, which mirrored steps taken by both the United States Olympic Committee and the International Olympic Committee. The policy change came as the NCAA was facing increased backlash over trans-identified male swimmer Lia Thomas.
NCAA president Charlie Baker told reporters on Tuesday, "We do have a situation where there is no clarity on this from a legal point of view. You have federal judges ruling on individual cases. You have 26, 27 states with one set of rules [and] a bunch of other states with a whole other set of rules. I do think we would welcome some clarity somewhere on this so everyone has a general understanding about what the rules of the game are." He said that there are fewer than 10 transgender athletes of the around 510,000 athletes competing in the NCAA.
On Tuesday, the House passed the Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act of 2025 in a 218 to 206 vote. All but two Democrats voted against the bill, which prohibits schools that receive federal funding from allowing a biological male to participate in athletic programs or activities designated for women and girls. The bill now goes to the Republican-controlled Senate for consideration.
Former University of Kentucky swimmer Riley Gaines in March launched a lawsuit against the NCAA, which has since been joined by 18 additional athletes, alleging that the NCAA’s transgender athlete policy violates Title IX.
