USA Fencing: Silent on the Anthem, Loud on Controversy

USA Fencing’s recent board decisions are igniting outrage among members and observers alike. From rejecting motions to allow the singing of the national anthem and forming an all-female task force on transgender policies, to permitting podium protests, the governing body is being accused of prioritizing political correctness over patriotism and fairness. Critics, including the Fair Fencing Organization (FFO), argue these choices undermine the dreams of female athletes and the values the sport should represent.

Is USA Fencing becoming unrecognizable as a symbol of American unity?
