OBERLIN IN THE NEWS---AGAIN---THIS TIME---OBERLIN COACH STOOD UP FOR WOMEN IN SPORTS---THEN FACED PUBLIC SHAMING

Oberlin coach stood up for women in sports. Then faced public shaming from her college.....Opinion by Ingrid Jacques, USA TODAY

In March 2022, Kim Russell watched as Penn swimmer Lia Thomas won the 500-yard women’s freestyle, becoming the first transgender athlete to win a Division I NCAA championship.

Russell, the head women’s lacrosse coach at Oberlin College and an athlete herself, felt it was unfair to the other athletes, who had worked so hard to be there. Thomas had competed on the men’s team in prior years.

So when a friend posted on Instagram in support of swimmer Emma Weyant, who lost first place to Thomas, Russell shared the post on her personal page.

That’s when the coach’s problems began.

A student-athlete saw the post and sent it to Oberlin’s athletic director.

The next day, Russell said, she sat in the athletic director’s office, getting chastised for taking a stand on what she saw as the integrity of women’s sports. That began a series of meetings with administrators and student-athletes on Russell’s team.  READ MORE AT  Oberlin coach stood up for women in sports. Then faced public shaming from her college.
