San Jose State Brags About Blaire Fleming's Success, But Won't Let You Call Them Out For Their Hypocrisy

The San Jose State Spartans really, really want you to know that they have a solid women’s volleyball team. But the reasons why are not entirely admirable.

The Spartans have experienced an historic year, starting the season with a program-best 7-0 record and dropping only four sets out of the 25 that they’ve played all year (an impressive stretch, no doubt). However, a lot of their success can be attributed to the fact that they have a transgender (biological male) player on the team, and his name is Blaire Fleming.

But the Spartans don’t care about the fact that they are ignoring biological reality and making a mockery of women’s sports. They are downright proud of the fact that a man is giving them a distinct advantage over their opponents, and posted about it after a three-sets-to-none win over the University of San Francisco on Thursday.

Now please know that the Spartans are not bragging about being a top-10 team in the nation in the actual rankings. In fact, they didn’t even get a single vote to be in the top-25 in the most recent poll, which was released on Monday. They are talking about being a top-10 team in the nation in blocks per set at 3.00 (they are tied with UTEP for ninth). 

However, even that level of success is marred by Fleming’s presence in the team.

The tweet mentioned that Fleming recorded two blocks in the three-set win. According to my source (which is my sister, who played D2 volleyball as a right-side hitter), that’s about a normal pace for a game of that length. Overall, he is averaging 0.72 blocks per set, which is fifth among players who have played all 25 sets like him.
