Thank you @SamKelley27 for joining us at our Protect Women's Sports rally this week!
In an increasingly digital society, where technology brings distant people closer together, yet often creates distances between those who are physically close, sport proves a valuable and concrete means of bringing individuals together, providing a healthier sense of the body, of space, effort and real time. It helps to preserve a healthy contact with nature and with real life, where genuine love is experienced.
In our competitive society, where it seems that only the strong and winners deserve to live, sport also teaches us how to lose. It forces us, in learning the art of losing, to confront our fragility, our limitations and our imperfections. It is through the experience of these limits that we open our hearts to hope. Athletes who never make mistakes, who never lose, do not exist.
Easy to say this @Simone_Biles when you only had to compete against fellow women. Every one of your Olympic medals came competing against fellow women. @Riley_Gaines_ was not only forced to compete against a man, but forced to share a locker room with a man. THAT is SICK. Shocked and disappointed that you’d attack another woman who
has done nothing but uplift other women. If YOU think it makes sense to create a league for trans people, go for it! Use that huge platform of yours! But to attack Riley for what she has done for little girls who want to be the next
Simone Biles is……..sick.
Let it be know that @Simone_Biles has chosen to stand with MEN in WOMENS sports not the girls losing their titles, scholarships, & privacy.
You don’t get to build your legacy in women’s sports, then advocate for their erasure.
@Simone_Biles you NOT a champion for women.
It’s tragic to watch female athletes like Rapinoe & Biles, who reached the top only because women’s sports used to be for women only, now cheer for their own erasure.
If today’s rules applied back then, they wouldn’t be gold medalists. They’d be sidelined.
Heartbreaking.
Three years ago to the day I raced and tied a man at the DI NCAA Championships in the 200 freestyle.
Today, the Trump administration paused $175M in federal funding to University Pennsylvania for this reason.
Serendipitous.
As a non-partisan women’s sports organization with a diverse network of female athletes across the political spectrum, it’s shocking that not a single Senate Democrat will vote to keep girls’ sports female-only. This is not representative of the people.
The @NCAA has not changed its policy.
Their policy is still filled with loopholes that allow males into women's sports & locker rooms in the NCAA.
We haven't forgotten about it.
We aren't letting it go.
@CharlieBakerMA@NCAA WE SEE YOU.
In her first year leading Louisiana, head coach Alyson Habetz went to Mass every day and prayed for a catcher—Savannah White was 'dropped straight from heaven.'

We might not be able to afford Superbowl. But we’re incredibly thankful to @jk_rowling & others for continuing to share this film that presents a side of this debate Legacy media ignores.
No males in women’s Quidditch. Ever. #RealGirlsRock
