Simone Biles Claps Back at Riley Gaines Over Trans Athlete Softball Controversy
In a fiery exchange thatâs igniting debate across sports and social media, Olympic gymnastics legend Simone Biles has taken aim at former NCAA swimmer and outspoken activist Riley Gaines after Gaines criticized a high school girlsâ softball team for including a transgender athlete in its championship win.
Gaines, known for her staunch stance against trans inclusion in womenâs sports, didnât hold back. Reacting to the teamâs victory, she posted:
âSimone Biles being a male-apologist at the expense of young girlsâ dreams? Didnât have that on my bingo card.â
The comment was a direct jab at Biles, who had previously expressed support for inclusion and fairness in athletics without sacrificing compassion.
