Riley Gaines Claps Back at 'Lady Ballers' Critic
Swimmer Riley Gaines had some choice words for a sports commentator who criticized a movie about transgender women in sports.Gaines, who has been a vocal critic of transgender women competing in female categories, attended the premiere of the controversial new film Lady Ballers on Wednesday.
The movie, directed by The Daily Wire's co-founder and co-CEO Jeremy Boreing, follows a school basketball coach, played by Boreing, who forms a team of men to pose as women as a means to dominate women's sports.The debate over transgender athletes has been at the center of the culture war against transgender people, with prominent conservatives calling for a ban of trans women competing in female categories.Even 1976 Olympic decathlon champion Caitlyn Jenner, who came out as a transgender woman in 2015, has led the charge and started a foundation called Fairness First to combat "radical gender ideology."Fairness First's website says that the organization is "a big tent movement, non-partisan in nature, with the intention of protecting women and girls in sport—especially in light of recent events with radical gender ideology."Boreing posted about the film Lady Ballers on X, formerly Twitter, and the cast followed suit. "Hollywood won't make a movie about how laughably absurd it is that we now allow grown men to call themselves women and then dominate women's sports.
So we did. Introducing our first feature-length comedy, 'LADY BALLERS'," Boreing wrote.Sports commentator Keith Olbermann replied to him: "Wow.
What an a**-sucking cast."Gaines then clapped back at Olbermann, who had previously vowed to quit X, by writing, "Aren't you supposed to be crying on some other platform?"Texas Republican Sen.
