As reported earlier… Independent journalist Brandi Kruse says she was physically removed from a Portland Thorns female professional soccer game simply for wearing a shirt supporting sex-based protections in women’s athletics.
Kruse, host of the independent political commentary program unDivided, was escorted out of Providence Park in Portland, Oregon, on Friday night, October 23, during a National Women’s Soccer League match between the Portland Thorns FC and North Carolina Courage.
Her offense was wearing a T-shirt from XX-XY Athletics, a sportswear company founded by former Levi’s executive Jennifer Sey that advocates preserving female athletic categories based on biological sex.
Kruse said she and other supporters peacefully wore their shirts before being confronted and assaulted by opposing fans.
Then, according to her account, stadium security ultimately removed her group rather than the individuals she accused of attacking them.
On Saturday morning, FOX News reporter Jackson Thompson reported that the US Department of Justice is reviewing Brandi’s forceful removal from the Thorn’s game for wearing an XX-XY shirt.
The shirt is a symbol for Americans who refuse to accept biological male athletes into female sports.
For the record, the International Olympic Committee also will NOT allow biological males to compete against women.
It’s common sense.
Jackson Thompson reported on X:
“The Justice Department is aware of these reports and will review the matter thoroughly. Where the facts and the law warrant action, the Department will not hesitate to act.”
A DOJ spokesperson also told me, “Based on what is known so far, the conduct described appears to raise viewpoint discrimination and First Amendment questions rather than sex discrimination. The Department is reviewing it.”
