USA Today Palitist Nancy Armor was facing setbacks this weekend for a pillar defending Simone Biles after the Olympic Gold Medal’s personal social media attacked on Riley Gaines.
Armor painted Biles as a master of the transsexual community when the American gymnast called Gaines a “bully” for her fight to protect women’s and girls’ sports. The Spaloner also claimed, “there is no scientific evidence that trans -fun female athletes have a physical advantage over cisgender female athletes” while striking out of Gaines.

It was not mentioned how most Americans feel about transient athletes competing in girls and women’s sports. An AP-Norc vote found that seven out of 10 American adults believe that transnry athletes should be blocked from girls and women’s sports.
Still, Armor asked readers to be more like Biles than Gaines.
Backlash against the column was strong. Gaines were among those who responded.

“@Riley_gaines_ You are really sick, all this campaign because you lost a race. Straight up sore loser,” wrote Biles on X. “You need to uplift the trans community and maybe find a way to do sports inclusive or create a new Avenue where Trans feel safe in sports. Maybe an urge category in all sports !!
“But instead … You are bullying them … One thing is definitely that no one in sports is safe with you around !!!!!”
Gaines responded to Biles’ attack.
“This is so disappointing. My roof is the least controversial acquisition of the planet,” wrote Gaines in response to Biles’ post. “Simone Biles is a man-apologist at the expense of young girls’ dreams? Didn’t have it on my bingo card.
