I did an interview with one of the fencers in the clip a few weeks ago, and at the time, there I think were 15 Fox News stories about this.

Mm-hmm. So at the beginning of this match, right before the referee told them to start, the fencer on the right, Stephanie Turner, got down on one knee and protested the inclusion of her trans opponent, Red Sullivan, in this event. The referee came up to her and told her that it would be a black card if she refused to fence on the grounds of just refusing to fence an eligible opponent.

She said that she knew that, but that she was a woman, her opponent was a man, and that she wasn't going to fence that person. So the referee left, presumably to confirm that penalty with bout committee. When he came back, he had, I suppose, confirmed that that was the correct penalty to issue and gave Turner a black card for refusing defense.

Meaning exclusion from the tournament.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

He sent that to the CEO of USA Fencing, Phil Andrews. He claimed that USA fencing was in violation of President Trump's executive order keeping men out of women's sports.

It would be nice if it actually appeared as if they wanted to learn something from this investigation.
