In a bold move that reflects the values of faith and fairness, a Vermont Christian school recently made headlines by forfeiting a playoff basketball game. The reason? Their girl’s basketball team was scheduled to face off against a team that had a biological male player on its roster.
Mid Vermont Christian School, a proud institution dedicated to its Christian beliefs, found itself at the center of controversy when they opted not to play against the Long Trail Mountain Lions, a team with a male student-athlete. Despite Vermont state regulations permitting biological males to compete in girls’ sports, Mid Vermont Christian School stood firm in its conviction that such a decision jeopardized both the fairness of the game and the safety of their players.

The 12-seeded Eagles from Mid Vermont Christian School were slated to take on the 5-seed Long Trail Mountain Lions. However, by forfeiting the game, the Mountain Lions were granted an uncontested path to the next round of the playoffs. NOTE: This is borrowed satire
