Republican governors sent a letter Monday to the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), arguing the governing body should prioritize fairness on the matter of transgender athlete participation in collegiate sports.
The letter, sent to the Committee on Competitive Safeguards and Medical Aspects of Sports, was signed by Govs. Kristi Noem of South Dakota, Sarah Sanders of Arkansas, Tate Reeves of Mississippi, Mike Parson of Missouri, Greg Gianforte of Montana, Joe Lombardo of Nevada, Kevin Stitt of Oklahoma, Greg Abbott of Texas and Mark Gordon of Wyoming.
“We strongly encourage you to rewrite your Transgender Student Athlete Policy to protect, preserve, and encourage fairness in women’s athletics.” (RELATED: Female Students Sue Sorority For Admitting Biological Male Who Allegedly Gets Aroused Watching Women Undress)

I led a letter of 8 GOP Govs urging the @NCAA to rewrite its Transgender Student Athlete Policy.
