Former University of Pennsylvania swimmer and transgender woman, Lia Thomas says that those standing up for women’s rights in athletics are just pushing transphobic beliefs.

Jets general manager Joe Douglas on Tuesday defended the compensation package sent to the Packers for quarterback Aaron Rodgers.

The New York Jets traded for Aaron Rodgers on Monday. On Tuesday, Jets GM Joe Douglas addressed the media for his pre-draft news conference. Of course, the conference focused mostly on Rodgers and Zach Wilson.
The team benched Wilson last season in favor of Mike White. Clearly, the Jets were desperate to upgrade at quarterback, going out and getting future Hall of Famer Aaron Rodgers.

“We have a consensus, and we are excited,” Reich said.
Since Carolina traded its No. 9 pick and the No.
