Dave Rubin of “The Rubin Report” talks to Riley Gaines about her journey from NCAA competitive swimmer to outspoken advocate for women's sports; the pivotal moment when she tied with transgender swimmer Lia Thomas; how, despite their tie, the NCAA awarded the trophy to Thomas; what happened when she confronted the officials after the trophy was handed to Thomas; how the failure of the NCAA to ensure fair competition motivated her to speak out against policies allowing biological men to compete in women's sports; the broader impact of such policies; her frustrating encounter with former NCAA president Mark Emmert and what he said to her in private; who really may be behind pushing this agenda; the silence of Serena Williams on the issue of trans athletes in women's sports, despite her publicly acknowledging the vast difference between the abilities of male and female athletes; various high-profile feminists who have supported the erosion of women’s rights in sports; the broader social contagion affecting young girls; issues with men joining women's spaces; and much more.
