Riley Gaines fired back at USA Today columnist Nancy Armour who defended Simone Biles<\/a> after the Olympic gymnast fired off a personal attack on the former NCAA swimmer.<\/p>\n

Armour painted Biles as a<\/a> champion for the transgender community as the American gymnast called Gaines a “bully” for her fight to protect women\u2019s and girls\u2019 sports. The columnist also claimed, “There is no scientific evidence that transgender women athletes have a physical advantage over cisgender women athletes” while hitting out at Gaines.<\/p>\n

Armour implored readers to be more like Biles than Gaines.<\/p>\n

Gaines ripped apart Armour\u2019s argument in the latest episode of OutKick\u2019s “Gaines for Girls”<\/a> podcast.<\/p>\n

“She is just about insufferable as they come, truthfully. She has been the frontrunner for USA Today, at least, for discriminating against girls,” Gaines said. “Not even just that actually. I would say it\u2019s worse than that. Shaming, publicly humiliating girls like myself for opposing this. For opposing having to strip down naked in front of a man.<\/p>\n

“She has long been proven to be utterly insufferable and should not have a job at USA Today. But I guess that\u2019s what the appeal is or at least what they believe the appeal is.”<\/p>\n

Gaines then tore into the alleged “scientific evidence” that disproved that men have a physical advantage over women and girls in sports.<\/p>\n

“Do they realize how stupid this sounds? How infactual it is, how utterly incorrect it is to say that men don\u2019t possess a physical advantage on average over women,” Gaines wondered.<\/p>\n

The entire feud sparked up over the weekend when Biles went after Gaines over the former collegiate athlete taking issue with a transgender high school softball player winning the state championship in Minnesota.<\/p>\n

“@Riley_Gaines_ You\u2019re truly sick, all of this campaigning because you lost a race. Straight up sore loser,”\u00a0Biles wrote<\/a>\u00a0on X. “You should be uplifting the trans community and perhaps finding a way to make sports inclusive OR creating a new avenue where trans feel safe in sports. Maybe a transgender category IN ALL sports!!<\/p>\n

“But instead\u2026 You bully them\u2026 One things for sure is no one in sports is safe with you around!!!!!”<\/p>\n

Gaines responded<\/a>\u00a0to Biles’ attack.<\/p>\n

“This is so disappointing. My take is the least controversial take on the planet,” Gaines wrote in response to Biles\u2019 post. “Simone Biles being a male-apologist at the expense of young girls\u2019 dreams? Didn\u2019t have that on my bingo card.<\/p>\n

“Maybe she could compete in pommel horse and rings in 2028.”<\/p>\n
