ESPN Throws A Tantrum Over Trump Protecting Women’s Sports

The woke-scolds running ESPN threw a temper tantrum on Wednesday over President Trump’s efforts to keep men out of women’s sports — and boy, oh boy, did it not end well for them.

While “reporting” on the president’s executive order designed to restore fairness in sports by preventing trans-identifying males from competing against female athletes, the Disney-owned sports media company went out of its way to regurgitate tenants of leftists’ asinine and dangerous gender ideology. In a tweet linking to an article detailing Trump’s order, ESPN described males as “people who were biologically assigned male at birth.”

“President Donald Trump will sign an executive order Wednesday designed to prevent people who were biologically assigned male at birth from participating in women’s or girls’ sporting events,” the tweet reads.

The linked article also used the phrase “assigned male at birth” to describe human males.

In its piece, ESPN hyperbolically claimed that Trump’s new directive “marks another aggressive shift by the Republican president’s second administration in the way the federal government deals with transgender people and their rights.” The outlet also gave credence to the false premise that individuals can change their sex by referring to track athlete Sadie Schreiner — a woman-pretending man — as a “transgender woman.”

The outlet further attempted to downplay the dangers of physically superior males competing against female athletes, claiming that “in many cases, the states introducing a ban on transgender athletes could not cite instances when their participation was an issue” and “the actual number of transgender athletes seems to be almost immaterial.”

The sports company’s latest promotion of left-wing radicalism quickly generated well-deserved mockery from numerous public figures.

Federalist Editor-in-Chief Mollie Hemingway wrote on X, “Being male or female is not a function of being ‘assigned’ something at birth, you idiots. Your propaganda terms are dangerous.”

Former NCAA swimmer Riley Gaines — a major proponent of fairness in girls’ sports — similarly derided the left-wing sports outlet, noting that the phrase “‘people who were biologically assigned male at birth’ is the most inefficient way to say ‘men.’”

“They’re called ‘men’ and ‘boys,’” Babylon Bee CEO Seth Dillon wrote in a tweet responding to ESPN. “Trump will get this right in his order. And that’s why we elected him, by the way.”

Federalist CEO Sean Davis blasted the “delusional freaks” at ESPN for regurgitating “low-IQ commie talk from morons. Doctors don’t ‘assign’ genitals or y-chromosomes,” Davis added.

Sen. Tommy Tuberville, R-Ala. — a former college football coach — wrote on X, “Didn’t ESPN get the memo? The days of woke gender identity politics are OVER.”

“There’s no such thing as ‘people who were biologically assigned male at birth.’ They are men. And allowing them to compete against women is wrong,” the senator added.

“If only there were a word to describe ‘people who were biologically assigned male at birth,’” Daily Wire Senior Editor Cabot Phillips wrote in a tweet quoting ESPN’s post.
