Former collegiate swimmer Riley Gaines and other athletes starred in an ad accusing the NCAA of developing a substandard policy surrounding men in women's sports.Gaines, a former NCAA swimmer who competed against transgender athlete Lia Thomas in the women's category, appeared in an ad for XX-XY Athletics, a brand that pushes for women's rights in sports."This policy does not protect female athletes. It sets no clear boundary to ensure that women's sports are for women only," the ad said in reference to the NCAA's new policy.The governing body's policy is in reaction to President Trump's executive order to prevent women's sports from being infiltrated by men. The order called for "enforcement actions against educational institutions" if they force women to participate in sports or athletic events with men or if women are forced to "appear unclothed before males."For competitions, the new policy says a "student-athlete assigned male at birth may not compete on a women's team."At the same time, the same policy stated that a student-athlete who is male "may practice on the team consistent with their gender identity and receive all other benefits applicable to student-athletes who are otherwise eligible for practice."Simply put, the male athlete may stay on the female team, so long as they are not actively in competition and can still receive athletic benefits.'The policy is riddled with loopholes.'For women, the same rules apply if they are on "hormone therapy," such as testosterone. They may also remain on a women's team but also can only partake in practices."The new NCAA policy is in direct conflict with President Trumps [sic] beautifully written Executive Order, 'Keeping Men Out of Women's Sports,'" Gaines said in a post while sharing the ad. — (@) Jennifer Sey, founder of the clothing brand and former United States national artistic gymnast, said, "The policy is riddled with loopholes.""[It] ensures that the NCAA need not take any accountability for ensuring that women’s sports and spaces in federally funded, Title IX governed institutions remain for women only."Sey also criticized the idea that the NCAA is relying on birth certificates to verify an athlete's sex, stating, "The vast majority of states have laws on the books allowing people to change their sex on their birth certificate with varying levels of requirements. (Only 6 states don’t allow it at all.)"Attached to the NCAA's announcement of its policy change was a document providing its "Guidance on Inclusive Language."The guidance warned against the use of offensive language when referring to a person's citizenship, nationality, gender, or disability.For example, it said to "avoid terms such as 'foreigner' or 'alien'" and instead say "international" or "citizen" of another country.For gender, it said not to make assumptions that express "implicit bias" and to not assume a person's pronouns.The ad went on to demand safe sports for women, without any inclusion of men.The athletes included in the ad are the following: Macey Boggs, Payton McNabb, Kaitlynn Wheeler, Réka György, Neely Gaines, Lauren Miller, and Sia Liilii.Like Blaze News?

New details have surfaced regarding the stabbing death of a California fire captain. Authorities have revealed they have an idea where the main murder suspect — the victim's wife — may have fled. As Blaze News reported earlier this week, 49-year-old Cal Fire captain Rebecca Marodi was found stabbed to death around 9 p.m. Feb. 17 at her home in Ramona. 'You should have thought about that before.'According to an arrest warrant obtained by KABC-TV, deputies from the San Diego County Sheriff’s Office found Marodi with "several lacerations and apparent stab wounds on her body, including her neck area, her chest, and abdomen." Paramedics attempted to resuscitate Marodi, but she was pronounced dead at the crime scene. The beloved fire captain's mother purportedly informed detectives that her daughter informed 53-year-old Yolanda Marodi a week ago that she planned on ending their marriage. The mother also provided investigators with the Ring security camera footage that reportedly showed the chilling last moments of Rebecca Marodi's life. According to the arrest warrant, the home surveillance video shows a female suspected to be Yolanda Marodi "chasing after" a female who appears to be Rebecca Marodi.Police said a voice — believed to be Rebecca Marodi's — is heard screaming, "Yolanda! Please … I don’t want to die!"The voice believed to be Yolanda Marodi's allegedly responded, "You should have thought about that before."The San Diego County Sheriff’s Office noted that Rebecca Marodi reappeared in the video and seemed to have blood on her back. "Yolanda can be seen at one point standing in front of Rebecca with what appeared to be a knife in her right hand," the report pointed out. Yolanda Marodi reportedly had blood on her arms in the video. The fire captain — who served Cal Fire for 30 years and helped battle the Eaton fire last month — allegedly could be heard repeatedly telling Yolanda Marodi to call 911. Both women are seen on video entering the home. However, Rebecca Marodi is not seen on video again. Approximately 10 minutes later, Yolanda Marodi "is seen gathering pets, random items, and some luggage and loading it into a silver Chevrolet Equinox SUV."Homeland Security reportedly spotted the vehicle with the license plate 8BQJ420 crossing the border into Mexico.The San Diego Sheriff's Office said the case is being treated as a "potential domestic violence incident."The couple reportedly had been married for roughly two years. KFMB-TV reported that Yolanda Marodi is an ex-convict who went to prison for the October 2000 stabbing death of her then-estranged husband — James Olejniczak — in San Bernardino County.In an eerie similarity, she reportedly attempted to flee from law enforcement with her two young children before turning herself in to police. In January 2004, she pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter in the stabbing death of her first spouse and was sentenced to 11 years in prison.In October 2006, she pleaded guilty to felony drug possession in prison — which added 37 months to her sentence.She was released from prison in December 2015.Anyone with information regarding the case is urged to contact the homicide unit for the San Diego Sheriff's Office at 858-285-6330 or after hours at 858-868-3200. Anonymous tips can also be submitted to Crime Stoppers at 888-580-8477.Like Blaze News? Bypass the censors, sign up for our newsletters, and get stories like this direct to your inbox. Sign up here!
