During a recent volleyball match between Air Force and San Jose State University (SJSU), security officials stopped fan John Kopecky from wearing a shirt that read 'Keep Women’s Sports Female,' citing it as a 'political' message. Kopecky was asked to unzip his sweatshirt for inspection, a procedure he noted was unprecedented for him at the venue. The SJSU team includes transgender player Blaire Fleming, and the incident highlights heightened security measures surrounding this controversial issue, with several universities forfeiting matches against the Spartans due to the situation. Kopecky reported that security was closely monitoring him throughout the game and that the event included unusual restrictions on signage. The Air Force Academy has not publicly addressed the specific actions taken against Kopecky, but they stated their commitment to maintaining a safe environment at athletic events. The incident has sparked discussions about free speech and security at sporting events involving sensitive topics.
