Franciscan University of Steubenville president Father Dave Pivonka The head of a Catholic university, the Franciscan University of Steubenville in Steubenville, Ohio, defended women athletes in a recent op-ed, writing, “I am concerned for my female athletes,” because despite all of the hard work they put in, they will “lose to transgender athletes,” and that is “another example of how the system is rigged against women.”
“As a university president, I am concerned for my female athletes. They will work hard, be diligent in their training, and on race day lose to transgender athletes,” Franciscan University of Steubenville president Father Dave Pivonka wrote a Thursday op-ed for USA Today.
“Tragically, it becomes another example of how the system is rigged against women because they were born women,” Father Pivonka added. “Our female athletes deserve better.” Lia Thomas (JOSEPH PREZIOSO/AFP via Getty Images) Lia Thomas (Kathryn Riley/Getty Images) Father Pivonka went on to mention a student at his university named Alison, who he says is “one of the finest, toughest, fiercest athletes I have ever met,” and ranks as one of the top 20 NCAA D-III women athletes in the country.
The university president said his “heart breaks” for her, knowing that this young female athlete may have to one day compete against biological male athletes.
“Biology 101 tells us men’s bodies and women’s bodies are different,” Father Pivonka wrote. “Title IX legislation has elevated women’s sports in schools over the past 50 years, making it possible for more female athletes to compete against other female athletes.”
Father Pivonka also mentioned University of Pennsylvania (UPenn) swimmer Lia Thomas, noting that he competed on the university’s men’s team “for three years until joining the women’s team.”
“Despite NCAA-required testosterone suppression treatment, Lia easily won many of her races, setting several pool records along the way,” Father Pivonka […]
Yes, We Need Your Help
I hate being “that guy” who asks people to donate because I think our conservative news network is so crucial, but here I am…
When I left my cushy corporate job in 2017, I did so knowing that my family would have to make sacrifices. But I couldn’t continue to watch the nation slip into oblivion and was inspired by President Trump’s willingness to fight the good fight even at his own personal expense. What I didn’t realize then is that conservative media would be so heavily attacked, canceled, and defunded that the sacrifices would be extreme.
Many in this nation are struggling right now even though we weren’t struggling just a few years ago. I’m not alone. But I wake up every morning and operate the sites we’ve been able to build because there’s really no other choice. I refuse to be beholden to Big Tech like so many other conservative news outlets, which is why you won’t see Google ads here. With that said, it’s often challenging to pay the bills and it’s even harder to expand so we can get the America First message out to a wider audience.
The economic downturn has forced me to make a plea for help. Between cancel culture, lockdowns, and diminishing ad revenue, we need financial assistance in order to continue to spread the truth. We ask all who have the means, please donate through our Giving Fuel. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to expand our reach so the truth can get to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
We currently operate:
- NOQ Report
- Conservative Playlist
- Uncanceled News
- Based Underground
- Five other conservative news sites
I would even be willing to entertain investments and partnerships at this stage. I’ve turned them down in the past because editorial purity is extremely important. I’ll turn them down again if anyone wants us to start supporting RINOs or avoid “taboo” topics like voter fraud, vaccines, or transgender supremacy. But I’d talk to fellow America First patriots who want to help any (or all) of our 10 news sites. Hit me up at jdrucker (at) substack (dot) com if you’re interested.
For those who have the means and just want to help keep the mission of spreading a conservative, Christian message to the nation, please consider a generous donation.
