1. Short title This Act may be cited as the Fair Play for Women Act . 2. Findings Congress finds the following: (1) 50 years ago, Congress passed title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 (referred to in this section as title IX ), helping to transform participation in and support for women’s sports by barring discrimination on the basis of sex in all schools that receive Federal funding, including in their athletic programs. (2) Since the passage of title IX, millions more women and girls have had the opportunity to compete in interscholastic, collegiate, or intercollegiate athletics. In high school athletics, athletic participation opportunities have increased from nearly 300,000 in 1972 to more than 3,400,000 in 2019. In intercollegiate athletics, opportunities have increased from nearly 30,000 in 1972 to 215,000 in 2020 on teams sponsored by institutions who are members of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (referred to in this section as the NCAA ). (3) Despite progress, women and girls still face unequal opportunities. In high school athletics, girls have over 1,000,000 fewer athletic opportunities than boys, with schools providing girls with 43 percent of all athletic opportunities while girls represent nearly half of all students. In intercollegiate athletics, colleges would need to provide women with an additional 148,000 sports opportunities to match the same ratio of sports opportunities per student as is offered to men. (4) Girls of color are often most impacted by inequitable opportunities. At high schools predominantly attended by White students, girls have 82 percent of the opportunities that boys have to play sports, while at high schools predominantly attended by students of color, girls have only 67 percent of the opportunities that boys have to play sports. (5) Transgender, nonbinary, and intersex students also experience sex-based discrimination in sports, with transgender women and girls being least likely to participate in sports. Transgender, nonbinary, and intersex students
