Riley Gaines calls on Caitlin Clark, Simone Biles to stand against transgender athletes in women's sports

OutKick contributor and former NCAA swimmer Riley Gaines joins ‘The Story’ to discuss President Donald Trump’s executive actions on transgender sports and more.

The movement against transgender athletes in women's and girls sports has drawn support from the majority of Americans, politicians in power and even a niche consumer market. Now, one of the leaders of that movement is calling for some big star-powered reinforcements.
