B.C. college basketball championships moved after alleged abuse of trans player
@Source: theprovince.com
A spokesman for the Pacific Western Athletic Association (PACWEST) said Tuesday that Columbia Bible College will no longer host the championships from Feb. 27 to March 1 as scheduled, with a new venue yet to be determined.
Columbia Bible College, an evangelical Mennonite bible college in Abbotsford did not respond to a request for comment.
The move comes after Vancouver Island University forward Harriette Mackenzie spoke in October about verbal and physical mistreatment she endured when her team hosted Columbia Bible College for a pair of games in Nanaimo.
Mackenzie, who is transgender, said the visiting team’s coach, Taylor Claggett, went on a “tirade” after losing on Oct. 25, yelling at a Mariners staff member about how Mackenzie shouldn’t be allowed to play against women. A social media account linked to Claggett also posted anti-trans messages after the game.
