Quote:Gaines had inserted herself into the conversation about the Class 4A softball championship in Minnesota, claiming Champlin Park had “hijacked” the title because its star pitcher is a transgender young woman. Never mind that there are nine players on a softball team and Champlin Park won the title game 6-0.
Or that her teammates “love having her out there. She’s a great kid and a great teammate.”
Gaines has never let facts get in her way, so she posted three times about it in a two-hour span. Made sure to mention the name of the transgender athlete, as well, while purposely misgendering her.

It's a shame Gaines, one of the few outspoken "elite" female athletes, is such an asshole who has turned valid grievances into a MAGA grift. She's actually detrimental.
All you need would be a Lindsay Vonn, Caitlin Clarke or Simone Biles (about that...) to speak out in a measured and respectful ways, for the liberal media, pretty much the last people still defending this, to finally change their tune and see the light.
