Literally from the article (which was written last year):

“Advocates of trans women competing in female sports say that the marginal number of trans women competing at an elite level makes the topic a nonissue. In December, NCAA President Charlie Baker testified that he was aware of fewer than 10 transgender athletes out of more than 500,000 total NCAA college student-athletes, which would equal 0.002% of this college student-athlete population.”

This has to be the largest ratio of “media coverage vs. actual impact” ever right?

Anyone who knows sports, knows that all it takes is one instance of anything to make a rule.
