Olympic legend Kaillie Humphries hacks SJSU’s case against the Trump administration

Kaillie Humphries is a Californian who pays taxes, and she does not approve of the California State University (CSU) system’s recent lawsuit against the US Department of Education.

As a veteran women’s Olympian, who now has a toddler son, she opposes it morally.

“I love California. I don’t agree with its politics. I don’t agree with the crime at all,” Humphries told Fox News Digital.

CSU and San Jose State University (SJSU) are taking on President Donald Trump’s administration in a major legal challenge. The US Department of Education investigated the scandal involving the school’s volleyball player, and ruled that SJSU violated Title IX for its handling of the situation.

Some of the female players allegedly did not know that the trans athlete, Blaire Fleming, is a natural male, according to court documents.

“For me, to hear or understand that there was a female athlete who did not know about their condition, it just speaks to why Trump is moving forward and keeping women’s sports protected is very important. Because it is not just physical safety, but the psychological and sexual side of everything,” said Humphries. “I don’t see a world where there should be any man in the women’s game.”

At the center of the controversy is 23-year-old Brooke Slusser. The former SJSU volleyball captain shared the court, locker rooms, hotel rooms and an apartment with Fleming before learning of the athlete’s natural sexuality.

Slusser fought back and spoke out, fighting the NCAA, Mountain West and CSU for his experience.

“I support him,” Humphries said of Slusser. “I would say he did the right thing, and he has a community of people who believe in what he is fighting for.”

Liberals across X and TikTok launched a hate campaign against Slusser after a recent interview with Fox News Digital, in which he revealed that he shared secrets and, at times, beds with Fleming when they lived together in the same house.

Humphries called Slusser’s attack “vicious.”

“I think it’s a shame to see someone being attacked for not feeling safe in the area they live in and talking about it,” said Humphries. “I can understand that feeling of the unknown when you find yourself in an unfamiliar situation, and knowing that it affects his safety and now moving forward will affect his state of mind. It’s hard to be in.

“I really hope, regardless of people’s thoughts, feelings and beliefs, that game needs to be a safe place. And to attack someone online just for saying that they didn’t even know they felt unsafe in that place, it’s a shame… She can call me anytime she needs help.”

The person Slusser blames for keeping Fleming in this situation is SJSU volleyball coach Todd Kress, who hired him when he allegedly withheld information about the athlete’s birth sex. Slusser also alleged that Kress encouraged him to live with Fleming in the apartment, when there was another group of colleagues who were looking for a tenant with him.

“Todd Kress, knowing that this person is a man, and saying ‘I’m going to fit in better’ with these girls on my volleyball team, couldn’t be further from the truth,” Slusser previously told Fox News Digital.

Humphries has his own experience with an allegedly abusive coach, and a program that did not support him, when he was competing with the Canadian team.

“I went through a lot of trouble with Bobsled Canada and the head coach they hired. And I was physically and mentally abused by the head coach. I was physically afraid for my safety,” Humphries previously told Fox News Digital.

“When I brought it up to our management at Bobsled Canada, they decided to support him as their choice as the coach they hired for that Olympic year, not take me back… They cut off my sponsorship, cut off my support, kicked me off the team, and there was no going back. And because I was living in the US and engaged to an American at the time, I called USA Bobsled.”

Humphries had to start from square one, and find his place on Team USA while going through a rigorous immigration process. But she succeeded, winning gold at the 2022 Winter Olympics and bronze at the 2026 Milan Cortina Games, en route to becoming the most successful women’s soccer player in history.

He made more history on Thursday when he presented his Order of Ikkos, which is given to those who have made the greatest impact on the Olympics’ benefit journey, to Trump. It made Trump the first US president to receive such an award.

Humphries thanked Trump for his high-profile actions to protect women’s sports and make IVF more accessible to expectant mothers. Despite his historic Olympic achievement, Humphries calls his son his crowning achievement. But as she navigates raising her son in California, she says she’ll have to stay vigilant.

“I’ve thought about homeschooling,” Humphries admitted.

“As a mother, raising a son, he will grow up believing that women’s sports are for women… I will make sure that he is a true advocate not only for sports itself, but for women’s sports…

“Who knows what the state of California or the United States will be in if we get that time even five years from now when he starts school.”
