Simone Biles, Olympic champion gymnast, has walked back her earlier criticism of Riley Gaines, an activist opposing transgender women's participation in sports. After Gaines commented that girls' sports should not include trans players, Biles initially called her out for her stance, labeling her a 'sore loser.' However, Biles later clarified her views, reinstating her commitment to competitive equity and inclusivity, acknowledging the sensitive nature of the topic and expressing regret for getting personal in her initial response to Gaines' remarks.
I wanted to follow up from my last tweets. I've always believed competitive equity & inclusivity are both essential in sport. The current system doesn't adequately balance these important principles.
Simone Biles being a male-apologist at the expense of young girls' dreams? Didn't have that on my bingo card.
