Last week, a U.S. Circuit of Appeals court reversed a ruling that kept a teenage transgender girl (biological male) from competing in girls’ sports in West Virginia. In response, five girls refused to compete in a track & field meet against that athlete. 
The group was led by a young female athlete named Emmy Salerno. On Wednesday, Salerno joined Riley Gaines, host of the OutKick podcast “Gaines for Girls,” and West Virginia Attorney General Patrick Morrisey as the AG signed “The Stand With Women Commitment.

Former WNBA player Sue Bird reportedly joined the ownership group of the Seattle Storm, a WNBA franchise, according to Front Office Sports. That’s an interesting development, especially considering her staunch support of allowing transgender women (biological men) in women’s sports. 
“Investing in women’s sports isn’t just about passion; it’s smart business,” Bird said, according to FOS. 
That’s an interesting comment from Bird. She says she’s passionate about women’s sports.

Former Ohio State quarterback Cardale Jones once famously tweeted that he didn’t go to Columbus to “play school,” but in the years since his college days, It looks like he keeps a closer eye on current events, and he’s not liking what he’s seeing from President Joe Biden.

Yeah, we picked up on that too, Cardale.
Jones didn’t say what specifically led him to post this.

McIlroy weighed in on the PGA Tour equity news as he explained LIV Golf will have the upperhand regardless.
