Former NCAA star swimmer Riley Gaines took issue with Brittney Griner’s remarks about transgender athletes’ participation in sports. "Which NBA team would have @brittneygriner since apparently the overwhelming, obvious differences between men and women should simply be overlooked? Heartbreaking to see athletically successful women take this demeaning stance," Gaines tweeted Sunday. "That ranks high on the list of things I’ll be fighting for and speaking up against," Griner said when asked by an ESPN reporter about advocating for transgender athletes. "Today is a great day for America, for fairness, for families, and most importantly for female athletes," House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., said.
