One of the players involved in the lawsuit reacted to the pitcher’s career to the championship game in an exclusive statement to Pak Gazette Digital, provided by their lawyers in Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF).
“It is annoying to see a male athlete who dominates our sport and removes the opportunities of girls who have worked hard all season to reach the championship game in the state tournament. In addition to injustice, it is often a risk to practice a physical sport like softball against a male athlete,” the statement said.
“I am proud of the girls who played hard, and at the end of the day they deserve more than a child, but I hope that more people continue to defend women’s sports and take the rights of women and girls seriously.”
The anonymous players team did not reach the championship game, said the ADF.
ADF lawyer Suzanne Beecher also intervened in the situation.
“The belief of a man about his gender does not erase the physical advantages over female athletes. And all the girls who compete deserve the opportunity to experience the emotion of victory,” Beecher told Pak Gazette Digital.
“What happened tonight was not only unfair, but put all female athletes at risk of injuring due to the clear differences in biology of men to women. We present a demand against Minnesota officials to turn their radical policies that hurt female athletes throughout the state and restore their opportunities in fair and safe competence.”
Rothenberger launched the quarterfinals and the semifinal on Wednesday, and even hit two doubles in the semifinal to help him return.
Champlin Park will now face Bloomington Jefferson, sown No. 4, in the game for the title on Friday at the Jane Sage Cowles stadium of the University of Minnesota.

The Champlin Park school district previously provided a statement to Pak Gazette Digital defending the decision to allow the athlete to compete in the softball team.
“Throughout the season, already measure that the rebels advance to the state tournament, it is important Anoka-Hhhh-Hing-Hengin Privacy deprives
“In addition, the district is appointed in an active demand that limits what information can be shared.”
Meanwhile, the Minnesota Attorney General’s office, Keith Ellison, has issued a statement that responds to the lawsuit against the State for Rothenberger’s participation in the women’s softball season.
“In addition to exercising and the fun of the competition, playing sports comes with so many benefits for young people. Building friendships that can last a lifetime, learn to work as part of a team and feel that you belong,” Ellison said.
“I think it is wrong with a group of students, who already face higher levels of harassment and harassment, and tell these children that they cannot be in the team who they are. I will continue to defend the rights of all students to practice sports with their friends and classmates.”
After President Donald Trump signed the Executive Order to “keep men outside women’s sports,” the Minnesota state high school league He announced it It would challenge federal law by allowing transgender athletes to continue playing in women’s sports. Ellison later said at a press conference on April 22 that he received a notice from the Department of Justice that threatened the legal action if the State did not follow the Executive Order, so the Attorney General decided to sue first.
The White House then responded to demand, condemning Ellison for taking legal measures to allow trans inclusion.

“Why would an adult man demand the Trump administration to allow other biological men to participate in women’s sports? This is spooky and anti-woman,” said White House spokesman Harrison Fields, Pak Gazette Digital.
The Minnesota State Legislature could not approve the “Preserve the sporting act of girls“In early March, he would have declared that” only students can participate in an athletic team or primary or secondary level sport that an educational institution has restricted women and girls. “
