(TNND) — It’s a State Championship for the Minnesota High School softball team from Champlin Park. The only problem is that not everyone feels it was a fair fight.
Champlin Park won behind the performance of a dominant transgender pitcher, Junior Marissa Rothenberger. The Rebel’s pitcher only allowed three hits in a 6-0 shutout to win the 4A state championship in Minneapolis.
The victory raises concerns from parents about transgender athletes in student sports. The White House responded in a message to FOX News Digital saying, “President Trump is protecting women in sports and restoring common sense. Those who choose to violate federal law will be held accountable.” Minnesota is currently under a federal investigation for potential Title IX violations for refusing to comply with Trump’s executive order.
Under the current Minnesota rules it’s far from a level playing field for girls. Since softball pitchers are allowed to throw multiple games in a row, Rothenberger, a biological male, pitched 5 straight games and only gave 1 earned run in 35 total innings.
