Amazing : Riley Gaines rips Nike for partnership with trans influencer Dylan Mulvaney: ‘They can forget… See more

That is so incredibly degrading,’ Riley Gaines said
Former University of Kentucky swimmer Riley Gaines slammed Nike’s decision to made transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney a paid spokesperson.

Gaines appeared on OutKick’s “The Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show” and joked that she has not been given an offer from Nike.

“And I don’t anticipate that happening. I don’t know if they can understand the mockery [Mulvaney’s deal] makes of women, especially the video of Dylan — I guess portraying what he thinks women look like when we work out — doing jumping jacks and doing different things. That is so incredibly degrading, and for Nike to take this stance, they can forget taking my money. And I’ve talked to a lot of female athletes who agree with exactly everything I just said.”

Gaines was recently “hit multiple times by a guy in a dress” at San Francisco State University, and she says “faux feminists” are “scared” to act after the incident.

Well, to be totally frank, people are scared because look at what just happened to me for saying something as simple as men and women are different,” Gaines said. “That’s easy, right? That’s common sense, yet I was still ambushed. No one wants that to happen to them; no one wants to be labeled as transphobic.”

She also said campus police were “terrified to do their job,” as protestors believed they were only protecting Gaines because she is white.

To which they pretty openly admitted they didn’t want to be accused of being racist,” she said. “These police were put in a position where they didn’t want to risk their jobs. They didn’t want to be seen as anything other than an ally to that community. And so, it did hinder their performance.”

Gaines recently criticized athletes like Megan Rapinoe and Sue Bird for being on the side of biological males participating in females sports despite their work to put women’s sports in a positive light. In a string of tweets, she accused Rapinoe of “virtue signaling” and went at the pair further with OutKick
