Olympic gymnast Simone Biles thought she could bully a young woman fighting for girls’ sports. Instead, she sparked a national conversation that backfired spectacularly. When Riley Gaines called out a Minnesota high school team celebrating a championship won with a biological male on the roster, Biles went on a vicious attack.
Biles called Gaines “truly sick” and told her to “bully someone your own size, which would ironically be a male.” The gymnastics star tried to shame Gaines for simply standing up for female athletes. This was pure leftist bullying tactics from someone who should know better.
But here’s what Biles and the woke mob didn’t see coming. The nasty exchange went viral and woke up millions of Americans who hadn’t been paying attention to this issue. Regular folks started asking why biological males are allowed to steal trophies from girls.
The feud inspired real action across the country. Oregon girls decided to sue their state over transgender athlete policies. Other young women found the courage to speak up about unfair competition in their own schools.
Even liberal commentator Stephen A. Smith sided with Gaines completely. He said women should compete against women and men against men. When you’ve lost Stephen A. Smith on a woke issue, you know you’ve gone too far.
Biles was forced to apologize for her personal attacks and body-shaming comments. She admitted it “didn’t help” to get personal with Riley. Gaines graciously accepted the apology while pointing out the hypocrisy of someone who knows about bullying doing exactly that.
The gymnastics star was so embarrassed she deleted her entire social media account. That’s what happens when you pick a fight with someone who’s actually fighting for what’s right. Biles thought she could silence a truth-teller but only made her stronger.
This whole mess proves that standing up to the woke mob works. Riley Gaines turned Simone Biles’ attack into a rallying cry for common sense. Now more parents and athletes are speaking out to protect girls’ sports from this insanity.
