Penalizing Women's Sports

On this episode, Andrew and Beth speak with Kim Russell, an activist for preserving girls’ and women’s sports.

Russell shares her story about what attracted her to take the position of the Women’s Lacrosse Coach at Oberlin College, a notoriously left-leaning college and how a social media post on trans swimmer Lia Thomas led to her removal from that position. She talks about the culture of fear on campus on speaking out about protecting the sanctity of women’s sports.

Russell also talks about how the feminist movement has been turned on its head, as well as the epidemic of anxiety, mental illness and depression amongst college age young women.  

Since being removed from het position in September of 2023, Russell has been spending most of her time traveling around the country advocating for girls and women in sport and the Women’s Bill of Rights with the Independent Women’s Forum.   She testified in front of Congress about the importance of Title IX in December and most recently was part of a Title IX Senate Roundtable. She is on the Board of the US Virgin Islands Lacrosse Association and is their Director of National Teams and 1st ever Women’s Lacrosse Head Coach.
