I wasn’t commenting on Gaines’ finish, I was commenting on Soule’s. I said I was surprised Soule doesn’t have a bigger following because the took 3rd to 2 males. She’s probably one of the only women in the world that can say that.
I don’t really care that Gaines got 5th place. I agree with her overall position that boys shouldn’t play women’s sports. But I agree with @scourge165, she is the textbook definition of a grifter. This recent situation with Simone Biles being a great example. Gaines compared sexual abuse to competing against a boy, and somehow Biles is the only one of the two that apologized for anything. And Biles didn’t even say she supported boys in girls sports! Gaines, despite claiming she “didn’t care what Biles said,” made probably a dozen or so social media posts about it, then even after Biles apologized, Gaines went on Fox News to whine about it.
