Female athletes sent fiery messages to Nike in the midst of the pressure of justice in women’s sports and elimination of biological men competing against them at different competition levels.
An XX-XY athletics advertising asked more athletes that if they could send a message to Nike, what would it be? Riley Gaines, Macey Boggs, Lauren Miller and Payton McNabb were among those shown in the video.

“If I had a chance to talk to Nike, I would ask them to just do it,” said Gaines, the former Kentucky Wildcats star swimmer and outkick contributors, in the clip. “It’s your slogan, isn’t it, nike? Just doing it. When I say it, I mean the right thing. And it defends women and biological reality.”
Miller, a pro golfer who participated in 2022 US Women’s Open, the company asked to “think of your daughters.”
“If we let men and boys continue to invade, women’s sports are deleted,” he said.
McNabb, left with brain injury after being hit in the face of a tip from a biological man during a volleyball match in high school, said she had “dreams of playing” the sport in college, but the incident stacked them.

“You say you support women, but you don’t actually do anything,” said Boggs, a volleyball player in high school. “You use us when it is convenient, but in private you don’t do anything about it.”
Former NCAA swimming Kaitlynn Wheeler, Canadian weightlifter April Hutchinson, former Nevada Wolf Pack Volleyball Player Sia Liilii and former San Jose State assistant coach Melissa Batie-Smoose also spoke out.
Nike did not immediately respond to Pakinomist Digital’s request for comment.
The company has been under fire over the past few weeks over claims that it was funding a study to investigate transking young people and the question of men competing in girls and women’s sports. The first inkling of the study appeared in an article in the New York Times.

Nike told Outkick that the study was “never initialized” and “won’t go forward.”
