NO HOLDS BARRED

On this edition of No Holds Barred, host Eddie Goldman discusses the burning issue of the situation involving MMA fighter Fallon Fox, who is a transgender woman and who has been fighting other women.

As usual, this commentary is no holds barred.

It puts the blame for the controversy over the licensing of Fallon Fox not on the fighter, but squarely on the clueless, incompetent, and intellectually and culturally deficient political appointees of the state athletic commissions where she applied for a license, both Florida and California. These commissions ignored the guidelines for dealing with transgender athletes proposed at the 2012 annual convention of the Association of Boxing Commissions, which were based on those already in place for the International Olympic Committee.
