San Jose State University's women's volleyball schedule continues to get shorter as yet another team has opted not to play against the SJSU team.The University of Wyoming is the latest school to take a forfeit loss against SJSU, and while no specific reasons have been given by any program, Wyoming is the third school to do so since it became public that SJSU has a male player on its team.The SJSU team has a 6'1" male athlete named Blaire Fleming, born Brayden, and is having the best season in program history. The team is off to a 9-0 start overall, 2-0 in the Mountain West Conference.The Wyoming Cowgirls join Boise State and Southern Utah as schools that have decided to take a loss rather than play against the team with the obvious advantage.'It is important we stand for integrity and fairness in female athletics.'"After a lengthy discussion, the University of Wyoming will not play its scheduled conference match against San José State University," the team said in a statement. "Per Mountain West Conference policy, the Conference will record the match as a forfeit and a loss for Wyoming."The news is an about-face in the school's stance. Just a week ago, it was reported that Wyoming would indeed play SJSU. Though the schools have not given an official reason for their forfeits, Fleming's own teammate even said the reasons were obvious."I think we all know the reason the games are canceled," senior SJSU player Brooke Slusser told Blaze News.Slusser said that she fully supports the decisions of the other teams not to play her squad, adding, "If I was in their shoes, I'd probably do the same thing."Wyoming's governor, Mark Gordon, also said he supports the school's decision to forfeit the match."It is important we stand for integrity and fairness in female athletics," the governor wrote on X. — (@) Following Wyoming's forfeit, SJSU provided a statement to OutKick about the situation:"It is disappointing that our SJSU student athletes, who are in full compliance with NCAA and Mountain West rules and regulations, are being denied opportunities to compete," the school said via email. SJSU added that the school is committed to supporting its athletes and is dedicated to providing an "inclusive, fair, safe and respectful environment."However, according to Slusser, the school has not been very supportive of its female volleyball players and instead has kept its focus on its only transgender player."We've had meetings, and it's a lot of just checking in on Blaire. ... We were like 'what about us?'" Slusser said. "It's mostly just saying you can't be the person to ... identify Blaire's gender identity. 'Blaire needs to do that for himself.'"Slusser then explained, "Everyone above you is telling you you shouldn't be talking for Blaire, you need to make sure the other person is okay; and [the management] is not thinking about, 'Are we okay?'" Slusser has joined a lawsuit that asks the NCAA to stop allowing male athletes to compete against females and to keep them out of female locker rooms. The lawsuit stems from women's aquatic competitions that included Lia Thomas, the "trans woman" who dominated the 2022 NCAA swimming championships.Like Blaze News?

By Diego Javier Luis/The Conversation Across the United States, the second Monday of October is increasingly becoming known as Indigenous Peoples Day. In the push to rename Columbus Day, Christopher Columbus himself has become a metaphor for the evils of early colonial empires, and rightly so. The Italian explorer who set out across the Atlantic in search of Asia was a notorious advocate for enslaving the Indigenous Taínos of the Caribbean. In the words of historian Andrés Reséndez, he “intended to turn the Caribbean into another Guinea,” the region of West Africa that had become a European slave-trading hub. By 1506, however, Columbus was dead. Most of the genocidal acts of violence that defined the colonial period were carried out by many, many others. In the long shadow of Columbus, we sometimes lose sight of the ideas, laws and ordinary people who enabled colonial violence on a large scale.

Frankie Valli’s recent performance has been a topic on social media, as the singer appeared to struggle on stage. He had a hard time holding up the mic to his mouth and struggled to sing on cue while the crowd watched for some awkward seconds. There were also a few lip sync fails as the singer sounded the same as in the original, despite looking zoned out and sometimes not even moving his lips. Clips of the 90-year-old have sparked concerns online, with some trolls comparing him to a Chuck E. Cheese animatronic. Why is Frankie Valli still performing? There have been speculations that the mob may be forcing Frankie to keep performing, as he is clearly unfit and should be retired. Taking clues from the fact that The Four Seasons have had connections with the likes of a Genovese crime family member named Angelo “Gyp” DeCarlo, fans assume he owns some dangerous people’s money and must work to pay it back. The band allegedly played at clubs co-run by the mafia at the early stages of their career, creating these dangerous interferences. Former band member Bob Gaudio once recalled how a former manager’s mafia tried to claim them until Gyp warded them off through familiar means. Frankie Valli / Everett While concerned supporters continue to speculate, Frankie has issued an assuring statement to calm tensions, saying he is working at will. In his words, the legendary singer has no plans to retire as he still enjoys performing. He noted that the comments on social media about being forced to sing have been amusing as no one can force him to do anything. Frankie Valli / Everett He also addressed the lip-syncing talks, saying his band is experienced at layering vocals and instrumentals such that they sound exactly like the records. Frankie’s statement did not do much to convince fans, who still insist that he needed to rest or possibly put down the mic for good.
