SAVE WOMEN’S SPORTS HELD PRESS CONFERENCE AND PROTESTS OBJECTING TO MALES COMPETING AGAINST WOMEN AT THE 2022 NCAA WOMEN’S COLLEGE SWIMMING NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS

▪ Save Women’s Sports Held a Press Conference Featuring Former NCAA Athletes, Coaches, and Women’s Rights Campaigners
▪ Multiple Protests Coordinated to Support Women and Girls in Sport
▪ Goal to respectfully raise awareness of males competing as females

ATLANTA, GEORGIA— On Thursday, March 17th, Save Women’s Sports held a press conference in front of the McAuley Aquatic Center at Georgia Tech at the site of the 2022 NCAA Women’s College Swimming Championships to raise awareness of males unfairly competing as females. The group was joined by former NCAA athlete Linnea Saltz, former Olympic Coach Robert Fausett, Idaho State Representative Barbara Ehardt, Canadian author of “Unsporting” Coach Linda Blade, and women’s rights campaigner from the UK Kellie Jay Keen aka Posie Parker founder of Standing for Women. They were joined by three brave and courageous athletes Chloe Satterfield who represented Young Women For America, Macy Petty, and Linnea Saltz.

Participant Jeannette Cooper from Partners for Ethical Care commented, “People agree with what we are saying. We are speaking for the parents, but soon, you will hear them speak up with their own voices.”

In addition, Save Women’s Sports worked to coordinate multiple protests both outside and inside the McAuley Aquatic Center. The protests brought together several women’s organizations from across the U.S. to demand fair sports for women and girls. Activists included K. Yang from stopfemaleerasure.com, Amy Sousa MA Depth Psychology, Jeannette Cooper from Partners for Ethical Care (P.E.C.), and women’s rights activist Jeanna Hoch, Joy Gray from Rev Fem Rebellion. Save Women’s Sports distributed information, pom poms, stickers, buttons, and copies of Linda Blade’s book to the supportive attendees.

While inside, the founder of Save Women’s Sports Beth Stelzer was harassed by security guards as she unveiled her flag that read, “Save Women’s Sports, Woman = Adult Human Female”. She was told by security, with expletives, to put the flag away and leave. Although her flag was within the pool guidelines, she politely put the flag away and sat down.

Women’s advocate Joy Gray told us, “I was enraged to watch women be dehumanized and humiliated by the NCAA today. I'm proud to be here with Save Women's Sports.

Save Women’s Sports' objective for this action was to shine a light on males unfairly competing as females while also showing respect and support for the female athletes. Stelzer added, “We want these young women to know they matter and someone is out here fighting for them. From the reaction of the crowd and parents, I feel we accomplished our goal.”
