Martina Navratilova has urged San Jose State University (SJSU) to dismiss volleyball coach Todd Kress following allegations made by a former player. The allegations were reported by Fox News Digital and involve an incident from 1998 when Kress was accused of inappropriate behavior during a hotel stay. The former player sent a letter to SJSU in October 2024 detailing the incident and expressing concerns about Kress's treatment of female and transgender athletes. Navratilova shared a post from Olympic gold medalist Nancy Hogshead, calling for Kress's termination, stating, 'Fire his a--!' and describing the situation as 'truly sickening.' SJSU has acknowledged the receipt of the allegations but has not suspended Kress, who continues to serve as head coach. As of now, neither Kress nor SJSU officials have publicly responded to the allegations or Navratilova's comments. Fox News Digital has also sought comments from Fairfield University regarding the former player's letter but received no response.
