☆ Women's volleyball dispute touches on a broader question: How to define 'fair'
  + stars: | 2024-10-28 | by ( The Associated Press | ) www.nbcnews.com   time to read: +8 min
One member of the women’s volleyball team at San Jose State University has signed on to being part of a federal lawsuit against the NCAA challenging the presence of transgender athletes in women’s college sports. As with other points of dispute in the struggle over gender identity and transgender rights, one thing opposing sides have in common is framing their stance as a matter of what’s fair and right. This political and cultural backdrop makes the attention surrounding the SJSU situation more understandable. Anawalt echoes such an idea — that a resolution to the “fairness” question is muddy, elusive and perhaps ultimately unanswerable. And so where do you draw the bright white line in terms of what’s fair and what’s not fair?”

We will review a pairs trade candidate and how to execute it with options. The idea with pairs trading is that, from time to time or over time, there may be a divergence or spread in their prices.
