Texas Sues NCAA Over Transgender Athletes' Participation in Women's Sports
Ken Paxton argues that allowing such participation misleads and deceives fans.Filed in a state district court in Lubbock, the lawsuit announced Sunday alleges that the NCAA's policies permitting transgender athletes in women's sports violate the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act. The law is intended to protect consumers from false advertising or deceptive practices, which the suit claims applies to the promotion of women's sports that may include transgender participants.The Texas lawsuit marks the latest effort by conservative lawmakers to challenge the participation of transgender athletes and pressure the NCAA to implement a ban.
