Vermont Coach Banned for Forfeiting Game Over Transgender Player
A Vermont high school coach has been banned from coaching for one year after he forfeited a playoff game because his team was scheduled to play against a team with a transgender player.
The coach, who has not been identified, said he forfeited the game because he believed it was unfair to his players to compete against a biological male.
The Vermont Principals' Association, which oversees high school sports in the state, said the coach's decision to forfeit the game was a violation of its sportsmanship policy.
The coach has said he plans to appeal the decision.

A Vermont high school girls' basketball coach defended his team's decision to forfeit a game against a team with a transgender player, citing concerns about fairness and safety. He argued that biological differences between boys and girls make it unfair and potentially dangerous for them to compete against each other.
The school was subsequently banned from all state athletic events for violating the Vermont Principals' Association's policy of inclusion. The school claims this infringes on their religious beliefs and filed a lawsuit to challenge the ban. The case is ongoing, with both sides expressing confidence in their legal position.
