A female field-hockey player was hospitalized after her teeth were reportedly knocked out by a shot from a male player during a high school game in Massachusetts, raising safety concerns about female athletes who share the field with men.
Netherlands’ Pien Sanders places the ball for a penalty corner against Great Britain during a women’s field hockey match at the 2020 Summer Olympics, Thursday, July 29, 2021, in Tokyo, Japan.
“The shot was taken by a male member of the Swampscott girls field hockey team. This injury required hospitalization,” he said. “The player, her family, teammates, and coaches remain in my prayers.” “While I understand that the MIAA has guidelines in place for co-ed participation under section 43 of their handbook, this incident dramatically magnifies the concerns of many about player safety,” he said.The MIAA cited the Massachusetts Equal Rights Amendment, a measure adopted in 1976 that forbids discrimination based on sex. The amendment was extended to scholastic sports in 1979.
The male player whose shot hit the girl has not been identified as transgender. The state rule applies to all students, not just those who identify as the opposite sex. The organization, which advocates for single-sex sports, also fired a blast at NCAA President Charlie Baker, who reportedly lives in the Dighton area.Former NCAA swimmer Riley Gaines tweeted that the game was held “where NCAA president and past gov, Charlie baker lives. Care to comment, @CharlieBakerMA?”Mr. Runey said he understands that revising the Massachusetts ERA would be difficult, but that more needs to be done to ensure player safety.
