Tennis legend Martina Navratilova appeared to react to comments from Megan Rapinoe over transgender participation in women’s sports as the soccer star gets set to participate in her final World Cup later this month.
Rapinoe was asked about transgender athletes in women’s sports in a recent interview with Time magazine. Rapinoe said lawmakers were “trying to legislate away people’s full humanity” and said she would accept a transgender woman replacing a biological female on the U.S. national team.

Northwestern athletics damaged students and destroyed itself in the pursuit of image
Pat Fitzgerald was going to coach at Northwestern forever.
He was Evanston’s favorite son, a former All-American linebacker and on the short list of greatest players to ever don the purple jersey, if not the greatest.
1. In this day and age of conspiracy theories, things that seem straightforward get questioned or doubted.
The Pat Fitzgerald situation is straightforward. Northwestern football players revealed detailed accounts of hazing. Other players alleged Fitzgerald made Black players cut their dreadlocks, among other things. The school did an investigation.

But those rumors came true on Tuesday, as it was announced that he would be replacing struggling rookie Nyck de Vries at AlphaTauri at the next race, the Hungarian Grand Prix.
Philadelphia Phillies right fielder Nick Castellanos is in Seattle for the MLB All-Star Game, but he’s courting controversy for saying his favorite superhero was Scooby-Doo.
This happened on Monday as players were getting drilled with questions including completely random ones, like who’s your favorite superhero.
He said everyone’s favorite talking, mystery-solving Great Dane.
I hate when players are asked questions like this. I know it’s done under the guise of fun, but I’m convinced the ulterior motive is to make players look like pop cultural dunces.
We have finally made it to talkin’ season in college football. Now that conference media days are upon us, the conversation now turns towards 2023 expectations in the SEC, while Kirby Smart is bracing himself for a number of tough questions.
Kicking things off in Nashville next week, the SEC will have five quarterbacks representing their teams, as a new era is upon us. Sure, guys like KJ Jefferson, Jayden Daniels, Spencer Rattler and Will Rogers will return as starters, Tennessee’s Joe Milton will be the only quarterback at the event that didn’t start in 2022.
Boxing and UFC champions Tyson Fury and Francis Ngannou are set to fight Oct. 28 in Saudi Arabia, it was announced Tuesday.
Joe Cronin, Trail Blazers general manager and, on a seasonably scorching Monday afternoon in Sin City, a human pincushion for the two dozen reporters crammed into an interview room inside the Thomas & Mack Center, knew he was in for pointed questions. It had been more than a week since Damian Lillard’s trade request, and everyone from Portland to Miami wanted answers.
