Federal judge rules that two fathers can't wear pink wristbands that say 'XX' to silently protest male inclusion in women's sports

Judge Steven McAuliffe ruled on Monday that the Bow School District in New Hampshire could continue to eject parents from school sporting events if they wore “ XX ” wristbands supporting biological females in sports.

The protest occurred in September 2024 when the parents learned that their daughters’ soccer team would compete against a team that included a trans-identifying male player, Parker Tirrell , and decided to wear the wristbands in silent protest.

McAuliffe issued a 45 -page ruling against parents Anthony Foote , Kyle Fellers , Eldon Rash , and Nicole Foote .

The judge openly admitted that Pride flags are allowed because they promote inclusion, but wristbands defending women’s sports are banned because they.
