Tennis legend Martina Navratilova puts politics aside in fight for fairness in women's sports

Riley Gaines opened up about Simone Biles' personal attack on social media in the latest episode of OutKick's "Gaines for Girls" podcast.

Tennis legend Martina Navratilova has made clear that her fight to keep women’s sports fair is bigger than what side of the aisle she stands on politically.

As Simone Biles went on a personal attack against Riley Gaines in apparent defense of transgender athletes in women’s and girls’ sports, Navratilova backed the former NCAA All-American on this issue.

"Riley is MAGA and I couldn’t disagree with her more on politics but on keeping sports safe and fair for girls and women I agree with her (100%)," Navratilova wrote on X on Saturday. "As most people, Republicans, Democrats and everything in between do also."

Navratilova has made clear in the past she is no supporter of President Donald Trump, and a quick scan of her social media posts would underscore that. However, she has lamented Democrats’ inaction over the issue of transgender athletes participating in women’s and girls’ sports.

When Trump signed an executive order to prohibit biological males from women’s and girls’ sports, she fired off a fierce message toward the Democratic Party.
