When Megan Rapinoe joined the ESPN show “Sports Talk with Joe Barron,” she had no idea that Riley Gaines was also making an appearance. While the two didn’t meet face to face, they did stare each other down via Zoom.
“You’re a disgrace,” Gaines told Rapinoe, “You’re a traitor to your country.” The former soccer star got up immediately and left the interview.First it was swimming,” said Gaines, “Now it’s spreading. People with a distinct advantage are competing in everything from rowing to track and field.” Gaines, an outspoken proponent for biological women’s rights, received the highest ratings ever on Barron’s show.
