Florida Republican Governor Ron DeSantis slammed the NCAA during a Fox News interview on Tuesday night that highlighted a bill that DeSantis signed earlier in the day that protected girl’s sports in the state.

“I think as these bills were going through various legislatures, I remember the NCAA put out a statement saying any state that enacts this, we’re not going to hold events there,” DeSantis said. “And so I called the Speaker of the House in Florida and I said, ‘did you hear what they said?’ And he’s like, ‘yeah,’ I said, we definitely got to get this done.”

“You can’t be cowed by these organizations, or particularly by woke corporations from doing the right thing. And so my view was throughout this whole time, we have to protect our girls, it is discriminatory to force them to compete against biological males,” DeSantis continued. “And so if the price of having a tournament is that I have to deny equal opportunity to hundreds of thousands of young girl and women athletes throughout Florida, I am much more willing to stand with the girls. And to hell with these events.”

This transgender ban thing is REALLY low hanging fruit for Republicans. No serious person agrees with this crap.

Awesome! I like this guy. Way to go Florida! You elected one of the few leaders who doesn't need to "grow a pair."

I for one have no desire to participate against men in a woman’s sport. It is the antithesis of everything the last generation accomplished to elevate women’s sports.

Good for the Governor.

We have to take a stand eventually and turning our children into trannies and pedos seems like a very easy hill to die on

The Right needs to learn how to capitalize on issues like this one.

If a city is dependent on a final four or BCS championship game for its financial wellbeing, that city is doomed to fail. Full stop.

If these morons would stick together and do what’s right and not be bullied by these woke organizations this crap would stop. Good for Governor Desantis, finally someone with principles and courage.

You can thank President Trump. Florida was about to elect a black radical democrat.

Nothing personal here, but with that attitude you sound like you may have just volunteered to be on the first train to the re-education camps if the Leftists win.

He has to be the next President of the United States. Trump needs to be Kingmaker not King. DeSantis is America’s Caesar for better or worse.
