A group of students at the University of Florida were outraged that the college’s chapter of the Young America’s Foundation (YAF) was advertising on campus for its upcoming screening of The Daily Wire’s hit movie “Lady Ballers.”

“Lady Ballers,” directed by company co-founder Jeremy Boreing, tells the story of one down-on-his-luck former high school basketball coach, Rob (played by Boreing), who will do anything to win — which in this case means teaching his team of men radical modern gender theory and leading them to identify as women in order to brutally dominate multiple women’s sports.

The YAF advertisement for “Lady Ballers” was written in chalk on a university sidewalk and informed students of an April 4 screening of the movie and a Q&A with “Lady Ballers” stars and “Crain & Co.” hosts Jake Crain, Blain Crain, and David Cone at Florida’s Emerson Alumni Hall. Video taken by YAF staffer Aléjandro Flores captured a woman pouring water on the chalk, attempting to erase the conservative student group’s ad, claiming it’s “transphobic” and “against women.”

Caitlyn McCoy, the University of Florida YAF chair, told The Daily Wire, “Chalking is one of the best ways we advertise our events to students, faculty, and staff on campus.”

“UF YAF’s chalk is always met with buckets of water and angry students who try to silence speech,” McCoy added. “It’s clear that there’s some students on campus who think basic biology is wrong and are fuming over a comedy film.”

In the video, the female student tells Flores “Trans women are women,” but when Flores asked if she could define what a woman is, the student replied, “Anybody who self-identifies as a woman.”

The woman was then joined by multiple other students, including a man who told Flores, “I’m sorry you guys have nothing better to do than to write transphobic comments on there.”

“It’s not transphobia; it’s just the truth and we’re announcing an event that’s coming up,” Flores responded. “The Daily Wire is bringing out ‘Lady Ballers.’”

“It’s a transphobic film against trans women, and I think that trans women should have rights,” the female student said while pouring water on YAF’s chalk message. As the leftist students began walking away, the male student told Flores, “You know, watching so much gay s*** kinda sounds gay if you know what I mean.”

“Crain & Co.” host Jake Crain, who stars in “Lady Ballers,” responded to the video, saying, “Not only could they not define what a woman is, they couldn’t even figure out how to wash chalk off the sidewalk.”

“I hope they’ll join us to watch the movie, and see why three grown men dunking on women is the plot of a comedy film and shouldn’t be the plot of real life,” he added.

The YAF event at the University of Florida will begin with a screening of “Lady Ballers” on April 4 at 3:30 p.m. before attendees will participate in the Q&A session at 5:30 p.m. with the hosts of The Daily Wire’s “Crain & Co.,” who star in the film.

In December, the film, which can be streamed exclusively on DailyWire+, claimed the top spot on the Rotten Tomatoes list of most popular streaming movies. “Lady Ballers” still boasts an impressive 89% Rotten Tomatoes audience score with more than 5,000 reviews.
