CBC goes to bat for men in women's sport
CBC News isn't happy about Alberta's new Fairness and Safety in Sport Act, which is designed to protect women's and girls' sports.
CBC News isn't happy about Alberta's new Fairness and Safety in Sport Act, which is designed to protect women's and girls' sports. They recently ran a story attacking the law, claiming it negatively impacts a boy who wants to play on an all-girls softball team.
CBC’s report focused on Riley Simpson, a 15-year-old boy removed from an all-girls softball team due to Bill 29, which takes effect September 1 after receiving Royal Assent in December of last year. Nothing is preventing Simpson from participating in a co-ed or male league.
