We\u2019re going to make sure that that\u2019s the reality. So the bill that we\u2019re doing today will ensure fairness for women athletes for years to come in the state of Florida. It says that athletic teams or sports that are designated for females are open to females. And we\u2019re going to go based off biology.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>During a Fox News interview on Tuesday night, DeSantis directly addressed the threats from the NCAA, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/desantis-on-ncaa-threat-to-pull-events-from-states-that-protect-girl-sports-to-hell-with-your-events\">saying<\/a>, \u201cAnd so if the price of having a tournament is that I have to deny equal opportunity to hundreds of thousands of young girl and women athletes throughout Florida, I am much more willing to stand with the girls.
