Riley Gaines Schools ESPN Over Lia Thomas Promotion

Women’s History Month USED to be one that celebrates women, as in BIOLOGICAL women. Not any more. ESPN was just one of many organizations that instead promoted and celebrated a trans woman – a biological MALE over women. Yes, ESPN went there.

Riley Gaines was having none of it.

As our readers may know, it was Riley who was relegated to 6th place at a swim meet where one of her competitors was Lia Thomas. They both tied for 5th place but the NCAA in the interest of being “fair” and progressive, handed Lia Thomas his 5th place trophy while relegating Riley to the background.

In yet another slight to the biological females who were forced to battle Penn transgender swimmer Lia Thomas at the NCAA Championships over the weekend in Atlanta, Kentucky swimmer Riley Gaines says in an interview that she was sent home without a trophy, even though she tied with Thomas in the 200 freestyle national championship race.

In an interview with The Daily Wire, Gaines, from Gallatin, Tenn., tells the outlet that an NCAA official decided to grant Thomas the fifth-place trophy to pose with on the podium while telling the Kentucky swimmer that hers would be sent to her house.

“Hey, I just want to let you know, we only have one fifth-place trophy, so yours will be coming in the mail,” Gaines claims she was told by the NCAA official. “We went ahead and gave the fifth-place trophy to Lia, but you can pose on the podium with the sixth-place trophy.”

And, unless I’ve missed something, Riley still doesn’t have her rightfully earned 5th place trophy. Then again, given how the NCAA mishandled the issue, would YOU want that trophy? I wouldn’t.

Supporters of ESPN’s little montage spun it thusly. 

ESPN showed a montage that honoured Lia Thomas as a courageous woman who competed on the University of Pennsylvania swimming team despite previously being a man.

The point of the segment was to show that Thomas is a pioneer for trans athletes who is paving the way for others to still achieve in sports whilst finding their true identity.

As we are seeing time and again, biological males who transition to female are upending the sports world. Biological males are competing as women and the women athletes are being marginalized in the interest of woke fairness. It’s well known that, transitioning or not, males have an advantage over females. In sports that is glaringly evident. Unless you are the NCAA, Olympics, local school districts, or ESPN who decide to cater to an ideology instead of supporting women in sports.

NPR even tried to “help” support the trans women in sports, and shot themselves in the foot, BIGLY.

The ratio was something to behold. And, they issued a correction. Except the correction was half-assed, so NPR is getting ratio’d yet again.

This woke ideology is not only marginalizing, it is erasing women. Not only are sports playing this game, so is our federal government by promoting biological men as women and essentially demanding we bow to their woke wisdom.

And, if we push back we are loudly informed that it is WE who are the baddies. Which leaves women silenced for fear of retaliation.

“I thought surely there would be someone, whether that be a coach, or another swimmer, or someone within the NCAA, I thought surely someone would stick up for us,” Gaines told the Washington Examiner in February. “That’s when I realized it’s my duty as a female athlete who experienced this injustice to really use my voice and my platform to advocate for those female athletes who are emotionally blackmailed and gaslit into silence.”

Or, they are physically attacked as Posie Parker was in New Zealand over the weekend. Some may recall that Posie attended one of the NCAA swim meets at which Lia Thomas was a competitor. She schooled one of Lia’s supporters quite well.

Yet the shrill out-of-control trans activists don’t want to hear that men are men and women are women. Period.

This is what it must have been like when women were marched to the stake. Yesterday in Auckland the British women’s rights campaigner Posie Parker found herself surrounded by a deranged, heaving mob. She had tomato soup and placards thrown in her face. She was doused with water. Huge men screamed insults and expletives in her face. The shoving of the crowd became so intense that Parker feared for her life. ‘I genuinely thought that if I fell to the floor I would never get up again’, she said. ‘My children would lose their mother and my husband would lose his wife.’

It was a truly chilling spectacle. The mobs’ faces were twisted into masks of feral hatred. They ranted in frenzy as the diminutive Parker, her bottle-blonde hair stained orange from the soup that had been dumped on her, desperately tried to make her way to the safety of a police car. It was a ritualistic shaming of a witch, a violent purging of a heretic.

All because she along with Riley Gaines and others are speaking out against those who would erase women to further their hideous and dangerous ideology. Lia Thomas is a 6’4″ MAN who will always have an advantage over the women swimmers he competes against. Riley Gaines was totally on point with schooling ESPN for celebrating a man instead of a women for Women’s History Month.

    We have been far too tolerant as a society towards these people.

    “Or, they are physically attacked as Posie Parker was in New Zealand over the weekend.”

    Shortly before Parker travelled to NZ she attended a rally in support of Women’s Rights in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. Also at the rally was a young conservative politician, Moira Deeming. The trans mob was there, but, unfortunately, a bunch of neo-NAZIs turned up as well – uninvited. The local [leftist] mainstream press immediately declared that Deeming must therefore be a supporter of the boof-head neo NAZIs. Apparently just standing on the public sidewalk near a bunch of black clad fools is, by association, a declaration of support of such fools. Reporting of the event consistently further stated that Parker and Deeming were at an ‘anti-trans’ rally whereas it was, in fact, a ‘pro Women’ rally. Sadly the craven leadership of the Liberal [conservative] party declared Deeming to be unacceptable and tried to throw out of the Liberal Party.

    This will continue until real women refuse to compete in events that include men (transgender). Individual objectors can easily be marginalized and dismissed, but in large enough groups they can expose the fraud for what it is. Imagine the impact of a women’s college swim meet with only one (male) swimmer.

    To add further coals to the trans ‘fire’ we hear today that a disturbed trans ‘female’ killed three teaching staff and three 9 year old children at a school that ‘he’ once attended. So much for the peaceful members of the progressive Left. At least he is now an ‘ex’ human being. It will be interesting to hear how and why and by whom he was trained/groomed to be what could never be.

    Come on, ladies….Where are all you pussy hat wearing protesters when you’re really needed?

  • Jim in Idaho says:

    Women are keeping this needless controversy alive by continuing to compete. In doing so they are killing their own sports.

    If they would join together and refuse to compete this crap would end quickly leaving “trans athletes” to start their own leagues.
