Nevada’s governor on Oct. 15 said he supports female volleyball players refusing to participate in a game because their opponent has a male who identifies as a female on their team.

Female players from the University of Nevada, Reno said earlier this month that they would only play against San Jose State University if the game was restricted to women.
