Ex-NFL reporter Michele Tafoya theorizes why bill to keep men out of women's sports failed in Senate

Republicans needed 60 votes but only received 51. On the same day, in Minnesota, House lawmakers there voted against the Preserving Girls' Sports Act. Each Democratic lawmaker in the state voted against the legislation.

"Part of me is starting to think they didn't want to give the president a 'W' the day before he is going to address Congress tonight, that joint session of Congress," Tafoya told Dakich. "And so they all just - and, seriously, politicians collude - and they all got together and said, 'We can't do this. We can't give him this win, so let's just vote no.' And they stick together, man. They stick together."

"I don't know how that language is received by the average person. If I'm considered the average person, I think that person's a lunatic suggesting that. I don't know how these people keep getting elected."
