Nine Republican Governors Urge NCAA to 'Rewrite' Transgender Policy to Protect Female Athletes

Jean Mondoro : Nov 2, 2023  LifeSiteNews.com

"If you continue the NCAA's misguided policies, stories like Riley Gaines' will only become more common," the letter concludes. "Policies that allow men and women to compete against one another validate an average male athlete stealing the recognition from a truly remarkable female athlete."

The letter's message was further emphasized by highlighting the stories of former NCAA swimmer turned women's sports advocate Riley Gaines, who, despite having tied with the gender-confused William "Lia" Thomas in a race, was not given the usual honor of that achievement. The trophy was awarded to Thomas instead of them sharing the podium... Subscribe for free to Breaking Christian News here
