BREAKING THREAD

Holy cow!! The assistant volleyball coach at San Jose St Uni (SJSU), the team with the boy on it, has filed a Title IX complaint over this against her own school. Melissa Batie-Smoose is standing with the girls and the allegations are astounding!!

1/ Image
Allegedly, things are falling apart at that school. It sounds like an absolute nightmare for all the girls on the team.

For one thing, they are afraid of being hurt in practice. When the boy spikes the ball the girls are turning away! They don’t want to be hurt. 2/
They tried complaining to the head coach, but he is on the boy’s side. Maybe bc his job is being threatened or maybe bc he is a true believer, but he is calling the girls on the team bigots for complaining.

This is not going over well. 3/
All but three of the women are unhappy about this situation. There is incredible tension. The players are mad the head coach. He is calling them names. Players are skipping practice. People are supposedly very unhappy. 4/
The team captain is reportedly having her scholarship threatened for speaking up.

The ladies don’t like to lose but they also don’t feel like a win is a win either. There is no joy. Even if they win a championship it won’t be a real win. 5/
The team captain is put in the position of wanting to help her team win but not feeling like it’s fair. She is alleged to feel numb about it all.

Can you imagine what they are putting these women through? 6/
One woman allegedly had a panic attack in class when it was revealed to that she was on this volleyball team. The story about this is heartbreaking. 7/
And then there is an allegation that the boy and a player from an opposing team colluded to have the ball repeatedly spiked at the team captain. I’m summarizing this and you just have to read this article. 8/
There is so much in this story that if it turns out to be true is absolutely astounding. I’ve been at this a long time and my jaw was open reading most of it.

Their entire volleyball program is melting down it appears. 9/
Read the whole thing here. You have to read this. Seriously.

Whoever thought this was an ok thing to do was not thinking.
