“This is, and always was, about hate, fear and ignorance.”ĮSPN’s Sage Steele defends Riley Gaines after trans activist attackĪrmour particularly took issue with Ponder choosing to speak out about this issue rather than talk about how girls and women’s sports don’t have equitable funding with boys and men. “Don’t be fooled by the people who screech about ‘fairness’ to cloak their bigotry toward transgender girls and women, the transgender girls and women who have the audacity to want to play sports, in particular,” Armour started the column. USA Today’s Nancy Armour did not appreciate ESPN host Sam Ponder’s comment about transgender athletes. However, Armour called Ponder’s words “plain old bigotry” in her column. It is not hateful to demand fairness in sports for girls,” Ponder tweeted. “I barely said anything publicly abt this issue & I’ve had so many ppl msg me, stop me in the street to say thank you+ tell me stories abt girls who are afraid to speak up for fear of lost employment/being called hateful. Recently, Ponder spoke about the issue again after Gaines tweeted the messages she received about transgender high school runners participating in the girls division in California. Gaines has been at the forefront since she tied with Lia Thomas in the NCAA Championship in 2022. Ponder, and fellow ESPN colleague Sage Steele, have voiced their support for Riley Gaines, who has taken the reins to lead the calls for transgender athletes to participate in sports against the gender they were born as instead of the gender they identify as.
