16 Penn Law Organizations | Statement in support of Lia Thomas
(01/26/22 2:00am)
On Saturday, Jan. 8, University of Pennsylvania swimmer Lia Thomas and her teammates on the Penn women’s swim team competed against Yale and Dartmouth in their last home meet of the season. Some teammates, however, threatened to boycott the meet. They did so over what they perceive as the unfairness of allowing Thomas to compete (and, specifically, the perceived unfairness of allowing Thomas to beat them) in the sport she loves, and at which she works hard to excel.
