USA Today writer calls ESPN host a BIGOT for opposing biological men in women’s sports

ESPN broadcaster and host Sam Ponder has come under fire by a woke USA Today writer for supporting fairness in women’s supports.

Specifically, Ponder has come out against biological men competing in women’s sports:

 
For this, USA Today writer Nancy Armour called Ponder a bigot:

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.

This is, and always was, about hate, fear and ignorance.

ESPN’s Samantha Ponder is the latest to tell on herself, using a tweet by anti-trans activist Riley Gaines to “fight for the integrity of Title IX” and then patting herself on the back for her “support” of women’s sports.

Ponder’s quest for fairness is, unsurprisingly, a sham.

There has been no shortage of stories in the last year about the actual ways in which women athletes are being treated unfairly and robbed of opportunities to participate. USA TODAY Sports, for one, did an entire series on the subject, detailing how most schools aren’t providing equitable funding for their men’s and women’s programs, are short-changing women athletes on scholarship money and are manipulating numbers to make it look as if they’re complying with Title IX, and how the federal government is doing little to stop it.

Did Ponder use her platform to express outrage at any of this? Urge her nearly half-million followers on Twitter to write or call their representatives and ask that women be given the funding and opportunities they rightfully deserve? Did she publicly participate in any of the many excellent documentaries, videos and commentary ESPN did to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Title IX last year? Or even Tweet about them?

No, she did not. Her public concern about “fairness” for female athletes starts and stops with the miniscule number of transgender women who are participating in sports.

As Joe Concha says, this is “one of the worst takes you’ll ever see on this topic.” He’s right. Instead of just disagreeing or trying to refute Ponder’s position on no biological men in women’s sports, Nancy resorts to name calling and insults all because Ponder didn’t advocate for the ‘right’ inequities.

This is a perfect example of the left. When they can’t defend their own positions with substance, they resort to attacks with words like ‘hate’ and ‘bigotry’.

Until today I’ve never heard of Sam Ponder, but she’s clearly a woman of bravery and courage to stand up against the left to defend actual women. I just hope she’s allowed to keep her job at ESPN because I’m sure all of this is making her woke bosses very unhappy.
