USA Fencing Needs to Be Shuttered & Replaced Over the Badly Mishandled Stephanie Turner Incident
Ms Turner, Who Politely and Tactfully Refused to Fence Against a Male at a Women's Tournament, Has Now Been Banned For an Entire Year By USA Fencing
USA Fencing Needs to be Dissolved and Replaced by an Entirely New Organization Run By People With Common Sense and a Backbone
After the public backlash a few weeks ago, over this craven sports organization banning a female athlete for refusing to compete against a male athlete at a women’s tournament, one would have thought that they had learned an important lesson in reading the room.
Nope, not these progressive clowns.
After mulling over the incident, the great brain trust running the sport has decided that Stephanie Turner is the only one that needs to be punished and that it should be in the form of a 12-month suspension.
In other words, USA Fencing is yet another organization that’s been captured by the cult for those obsessed with supporting whatever The Current Thing happens to be in the pursuit of virtue signalling points.
USA Fencing attempts to throw up some smoke to mislead us. It’s not very convincing.
A USA Fencing spokesperson also told Fox News Digital that Turner was not penalized for her stance against trans inclusion, but simply for refusing to fence.
"In the case of Stephanie Turner, her disqualification was not related to any personal statement but was merely the direct result of her decision to decline to fence an eligible opponent, which the FIE rules clearly prohibit," the spokesperson said. (source)
Yeah, right, we believe you.
And Prison Mike only stole the 80-year-old widow’s handbag because she appeared to be struggling under the weight.
It would be revealing and entertaining to have an adult fencer demand to be allowed to fence against children because—in his mind, he’s only 10 years old—not 35. Dollars to donuts, the muppets on the USA Fencing Board would approve it. These days, self-delusion must trump reality.
USA Fencing also needs to issue a written apology to Ms Turner for having her escorted out of the building like a shoplifter.
While growing numbers of sports organization around the globe are standing up to defend the principle of women’s sports only for females, USA Fencing is going in the opposite direction.
