Nebraska is the latest state to ban transgender students from girls' sports
Nebraska Gov. Jim Pillen signed into law Wednesday a measure banning transgender students from girls' sports, making the state the latest to keep transgender athletes from competing on women's and girls' teams. Pillen signed the law flanked by dozens of lawmakers, women athletes and other advocates — including former collegiate swimmer Riley Gaines, who has made a name for herself as a vocal advocate of banning transgender athletes from women's sports. The measure passed by the Nebraska Legislature last week broke a filibuster by a single vote cast along party lines. It was pared down from its initial form, which also sought to bar transgender students from using bathrooms and locker rooms corresponding with their gender identity. Sponsors agreed to drop the bathroom and locker room ban when one Republican — Omaha Sen. Merv Riepe — declared he would vote against it otherwise. The measure was first introduced in 2023 by then-freshman Sen. Kathleen Kauth, but failed to advance as lawmakers angrily argued over Kauth's other bill that sought to bar gender-affirming care for transgender minors under the age of 19. An amended version that banned gender-affirming surgery — but not all gender-affirming care — for minors later passed and was enacted that year. On Wednesday, Kauth promised to revive her bathroom and locker room ban next year, reiterating her rejection that people can determine their own gender. 'Men are men and women are women,' she said, and urged voters in Riepe's district to pressure him to support it. Republicans behind the sports ban say it protects women and girls and their ability to fairly compete in sports. Opponents say with so few transgender students seeking to participate in sports, the measure is a solution in search of a problem. Fewer than 10 transgender students have applied to participate in middle school and high school sports in the state since 2018, the Nebraska School Activities Association said Wednesday. At least 24 other states have adopted similar bans. President Donald Trump also signed an executive order this year intended to dictate which sports competitions transgender athletes can enter and has battled in court with Maine over that state's allowing transgender athletes in girls' and women's sports. The American Civil Liberties Union of Nebraska denounced the measure. ACLU Nebraska Executive Director Mindy Rush Chipman said the ban 'slams the door shut' for some transgender students to fully participate in their school communities. 'This ban will only create problems, not solve any,' Rush Chipman said, adding that 'the constant targeting of LGBTQ+ Nebraskans must stop.'

Rory McIlroy defends right to skip media sessions after nonconforming driver news leaked at PGA Championship
Rory McIlroy has an explanation for why he skipped his media sessions at the PGA Championship last month. McIlroy spoke this time to reporters at the RBC Canadian Open on Wednesday, where he admitted being "p---ed off" after finding out his driver was considered nonconforming and unusable after pre-tournament testing. McIlroy didn't speak to reporters at all throughout his four rounds at Quail Hollow Club, where he ultimately finished 3-over for the tournament, which was good for T-47th. "I was a little pissed off because I knew that Scottie's driver had failed on Monday, but my name was the one that was leaked," McIlroy said in a press conference, via The New York Post. "It was supposed to stay confidential. Two members of the media were the ones that leaked it." Scottie Scheffler, the winner of the PGA Championship, which marked his first major victory outside his two green jackets from The Masters, also had a nonconforming driver. However, he fared better with an 11-under-par finish. At the time, Scheffler's name was kept confidential but SiriusXM PGA Tour Radio reported McIlroy's situation during the week. "I didn't want to get up there and say something that I regretted either, because I'm trying to protect Scottie. I don't want to mention his name. I'm trying to protect TaylorMade, I'm trying to protect the USGA, PGA of America, myself," McIlroy continued. The PGA Tour does not require golfers to speak to the media, unlike the other major sports leagues in the country. McIlroy said that while he "understands the benefit" of having media coverage during tournaments, "If we all wanted to, we could all bypass you guys, and we could go on social media and we could talk about our round and do it our own way," he said. "If they want to make it mandatory, that's fine. But in our rules, it says that it's not, and until the day that's written into the regulations, you're going to have guys skip from time to time, and that's well within our rights." McIlroy, who completed the career grand slam this year with a win at The Masters, is looking to notch his fourth win this PGA Tour season at TPC Toronto at Osprey Valley this week. If he can do so, it would be quite the momentum heading into Oakmont Country Club next week for the third major of the year: the U.S. Open.

Fenway Park's Pesky's Pole gifts Red Sox dramatic victory with record-setting short homer
Ceddanne Rafaela may just be thanking his lucky stars he plays his home games at Fenway Park. Rafaela used Pesky's Pole to his advantage on Wednesday afternoon to lift his Boston Red Sox to an 11-9 victory over the Los Angeles Angels. On the first pitch he saw in the bottom of the ninth, a 97-mph fastball, Rafaela swung and flew one down the right field line. But with the foul pole just 302 feet from home plate, it was enough to be a walk-off two-run homer. The ball traveled just 308 feet, the shortest walk-off shot in the Statcast era (since 2015). Obviously, it would only have been a home run at Fenway. The three shortest home runs ever tracked by Statcast have all been at Fenway Park, and Rafaela's shot is the third-shortest on record. The Angels blew 4-0, 7-5, 8-7 and 9-8 leads, with Rafael Devers bouncing a chopper between the gloves of second baseman Chris Taylor and shortstop Zach Neto behind second base to tie it 9-9 in the eighth. The Angels moved to 28-33, while the Sox are now 30-34. Each of the first three times the Red Sox scored, Los Angeles answered with runs of its own. But after walking Mike Trout to lead off the ninth, Cooper Criswell (1-0) got the next three batters out to give Boston a chance to walk it off. The pole, of course, is named after Johnny Pesky, who hit just 17 career home runs, but six of them occurred right around the pole.
