Former SJSU Coach Is Longtime Trans Advocate
Kersten, at least according to some of his social media activity, appears to be an advocate for trans rights.
The coach, who comes from a volleyball family and played at UCLA, previously reposted an image on his X account with a BLM fist surrounded by a rainbow, captioned "VolleQuality."
Little surprise that a cheater cheats.Quote:
In court documents obtained by Fox News Digital and OutKick, Slusser and other players shared details about an alleged plan to have Slusser hit in the face by a volleyball during a game.
San Jose State volleyball player Chandler Manusky is cited in the lawsuit recounting an incident in early October, when she and other teammates, including the trans athlete, violated team rules by sneaking out of the team hotel the night before a match against Colorado State. Manusky claimed to have then learned about an alleged plan by player Blaire Fleming to ensure San Jose State would lose the match and set up Colorado State player Malaya Jones to spike Slusser in the face during a match on Oct. 3.
"Manusky said that at Jones' residence Fleming had shared with Jones the scouting for the CSU-FC game and they had discussed Fleming 'throw[ing] the game' and how they would set up Jones to 'blow up' Slusser and 'blast' her in the face during the game," the court documents read. "Manusky also said that Fleming stated, 'I'm going to leave center court open,' which would allow Malaya Jones to have a wide-open shot to try to 'blow up Slusser,' i.e., to try to hit Brooke Slusser in the face with the ball."
The documents allege Manusky confronted head coach Todd Kress and currently-suspended assistant coach Melissa Batie-Smoose about the incident. Manusky claims she was crying as she begged them not to tell Fleming that she had come forward with the story. Kress is alleged to have told Batie-Smoose that he believed the story was not true.

It will,only get worse with Harris in charge
That's what the Internet says. It's been 30 years since I worked at Rice University with their volleyball team, but not making it to the conference title game unless you are a top 10-15 team all year is a death knell for making the tourney.mm98 said:
Looks like this forfeit wil keep them out of the post season too?

My son is 10. Any time his select team plays soccer against a team with even 1 girl player .... Immediate eye roll by us parents on the sideline... They always hammer those co-ed teams.eric76 said:There are schools in areas without much population that field junior high or junior varsity soccer teams with both boys and girls on the team. At that age, the differences are relatively minor and it may be that the girls are the bigger and faster for a bit.newbie11 said:
It's hilarious to read the comments of lib bots on yahoo about trans. They say things like…when I was in middle school there was a girl on the football team that kicked the guys asses…as proof that biological men should be allowed to compete against at women since women are tough enough to handle it.
Middle school…when boys hadn't even gone thru puberty. Smdh.
The trans nonsense is truly unimaginable that the radical lefties who claim to be so much more educated than the conservatives can't understand simple XX XY genetics. And why they resist simply letting trans have their own division instead of enabling them to beat up girls.
I haven't heard of any school that fields a varsity soccer team with boys and girls on the team.
Boise State FORFEITS the conference semifinal match against SJSU in protest of a man playing.

They've made it clear some things matter more than victory. The BSU women's volleyball team are HEROINES.
Thank you, thank you, thank you @BroncoSportsVB https://t.co/MdkOzrrKci
What is actually needed is for a school that has a men's volleyball team, declare the entire team as trans, and then play the women.BlueTaze said:
We need a coach to recruit only trans women, then win a national championship. That's how this ends quicker.

I was thinking that Todd Kress was highly pro-transexual, but it appears that he may just be dealing with a situation he didn't cause.
Kress did not recruit the player. It was Loyola Marymount University women's volleyball coach Trent Kersten who had formerly been at San Jose State University and recruited him.

According to the article, Kersten refuses to comment on the situation.
CSU discussed forfeiture earlier this year. The team was split on the decision and finally elected to play (AD weighed in as well) because if they forfeited they would likely miss their chance to play in the NCAA. It's a heavy senior and grad team. It was definitely considered though.zephyr88 said:
It will all depend on what the winner of San Diego State and Colorado State decides to do.
In season play, both teams played against San Jose State with San Diego State beating Team Trans twice and Colorado State splitting the series.
Both schools are from woke states, so I don't expect either of them to bail out.

I believe there were accusations of SJSU conspiring to both throw that game against Colorado St and injure Slusser that 1st game back after the 1st round of forfeits.

Transvestite is the big one, which is completely different from this person and considered a slur.
I agree. Nevada wouldn't allow their team to forfeit. But the girls refuse to play anywayFCBlitz said:
Just not playing the team is the proper answer. That is the seriousness of the moment…..better to be the person, or group that resets this unacceptable nonsense of corrupting woman's sports.
Ultimately it is our responsibility to champion what is proper and acceptable behavior in society. The girls who forfeited any games should be held up as hero's.

San Jose State is watching. The guy is by himself in a row. The rest is the team is sitting together.
Quote:
Martina Navratilova has criticised The New York Times for describing biological females as "non-transgender women".
The description was included in a story about women's college volleyball teams forfeiting games against San Jose State University, which has a trans player in its line-up.
In the story, the outlet used the term "non-transgender women" when explaining the sport's rules on varying levels of testosterone.
The term has been met with a backlash by readers, among them Navratilova, a feminist campaigner and one of the greatest tennis players of all time.
NYT- you stink. We are women, not NOT TRANSGENDER WOMEN. Just WOMEN will do in the future. https://t.co/xJZNJvS6O1
