Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton filed a lawsuit against the NCAA on
Sunday and accused the collegiate organization of deceptive marketing
practices for including transgender athletes in women�s sports.

Paxton said in a news release the NCAA violated the Texas Trade Practices
Act "which exists to protect consumers from businesses attempting to
mislead or trick them into purchasing goods or services that are not as
advertised."

He accused the NCAA of "engaging in false, deceptive, and misleading
practices by marketing sporting events as �women�s� competitions only to
then provide consumers with mixed sex competitions where biological males
compete against biological females."

"The NCAA is intentionally and knowingly jeopardizing the safety and
wellbeing of women by deceptively changing women�s competitions into co-ed
competitions," Paxton said in a statement. "When people watch a women�s
volleyball game, for example, they expect to see women playing against
other women�not biological males pretending to be something they are not.
Radical �gender theory� has no place in college sports."

Paxton said he was seeking a court to grant a permanent injunction to
prohibit the NCAA from allowing transgender athletes in women�s sports in
Texas or "involving Texas teams, or alternatively requiring the NCAA to
stop marketing events as "women�s" when in fact they are mixed sex
competitions," the news release said.

The NCAA released a statement to Fox News Digital later Sunday.

"College sports are the premier stage for women�s sports in America, and
while the NCAA does not comment on pending litigation, the Association and
its members will continue to promote Title IX, make unprecedented
investments in women�s sports and ensure fair competition in all NCAA
championships," the organization said.

NCAA President Charlie Baker was grilled over transgender participation in
sports while he was on Capitol Hill last week. He was also asked about it
during an appearance on "The Pat McAfee Show."

When McAfee asked Baker how the parents of daughters should feel about
trans athletes in women's sports and the NCAA's record on it, Baker
downplayed the impact.

"There are 510,000 college athletes playing in the NCAA, there are less
than 10 transgender athletes, so it's a small community to begin with,"
Baker said.
