NCAA President Charlie Baker tries to defend the organization's weak transgender athlete policy after the Supreme Court's landmark ruling. Dave Chappelle roasts Travis Kelsey's bachelor party and the star-studded Taylor Swift wedding. Let's dive in. The Supreme Court delivered another huge win for common sense and women's sports. In a pair of six to three rulings last week, the high court upheld state laws in West Virginia and Idaho requiring student athletes to compete on teams that match their biological sex at birth, not their gender identity.
0:48This is a massive victory for girls and women who have watched their sports being invaded and their opportunities stolen by biological males. The rulings back President Trump's no men in women's sports executive order and make clear that states have every right to protect fair competition. But NCAA President Charlie Baker appeared on CBS's Face the Nation and basically shrugged off the rulings. Baker said he doesn't think the NCAA will need to tweak its own policy, claiming the organization wants a national standard. He even admitted the NCAA adopted and complied with the standard put forth by the Trump administration after reversing its old 2010 policy that allowed men and women's sports.
1:37Here's the problem. The NCAA's new policy still doesn't go far enough. It states that a student athlete assigned male at birth may still practice on an NCAA A women's team and receive all the other benefits. Critics rightly point out that this leaves loopholes wide open, especially since 44 states allow people to change the sex listed on their birth certificate. Only Florida, Texas, Kansas, Oklahoma, Tennessee, and Montana ban those changes. 14 states, including deep blue ones like California, New York, Massachusetts, and Michigan, let people change it with zero medical documentation required.
2:19Baker wants to pretend the NCAA's national policy overrides state laws, but real protection for female athletes requires total clarity. Biological males do not belong in women's sports. Period. The Supreme Court and President Trump are moving us in the right direction. The NCAA needs to catch up instead of dragging its feet. Dave Chappelle had some hilarious and very on-brand commentary about Travis Kelsey's bachelor party and his big wedding to Taylor Swift. Appearing via Zoom on CNN's Independence Eve Live, Chappelle said he was shocked that Kelsey brought his bachelor party to one of his comedy shows.
3:03I had never seen anything like that, Chappelle recalled. Whatever makes you happy, Travis, he quipped. Chappelle then joked about not getting an invite to the massive wedding at Madison Square Garden. I heard he was getting married at Madison Square Garden. You would think I could have gotten invite, but I didn't. I didn't make the 15 ,000 closest friends. Hosts Andy Cohen and Anderson Cooper piled on the joke, saying the three of them seemed to be the only ones not invited. Last month, Kelsey, his brother Jason, and close friends celebrated the bachelor party on the West Coast, catching one of Chappelle's shows, watching a NASCAR race at Naval Base Coronado in San Diego, partying at Bird Streets Club in Los Angeles, and hitting a Chris Lake concert where Travis jumped on stage and shot a bubble gun into the crowd.
3:54The three-time Super Bowl champion and Swift, both 36, officially tied the knot on July 3rd in front of about 1 ,000 guests. Comedian Adam Sandler officiated the ceremony. Taylor wore Christian Dior haute couture, had her brother Austin as man of honor, and Travis had Jason as his best man. Sir Paul McCartney even serenaded the couple with the Beatles classic, I Want to Hold Your Hand. Look, love it or hate it, the Swift Kelsey machine is the biggest celebrity story in America right now. Chappelle's dry, no-nonsense take cuts through the Hollywood hype and reminds everyone that sometimes the simplest observations are the funniest.
4:39Congrats to the couple. Hope they enjoy married life away from the nonstop media circus. And that's your first look this Monday. Quick recap. The Supreme Court upholds bans on men and women's sports, while the NCAA tries to split the difference with a half-measure policy full of loopholes. Dave Chappelle hilariously roasts Travis Kelce's bachelor party and the star-studded Madison square garden wedding to Taylor Swift. We'll keep following all of it. I'm Dave Rubin. Thanks for starting your day with First Look. See you tomorrow.
