Riley Gaines Smacks Down ‘Deranged’ Keith Olbermann After He Tries to Slam Her Swimming Skills

Leave it to Keith Olbermann, the perpetually unemployed basement-dweller, to pick a fight with a champion like Riley Gaines, host of Gaines for Girls on OutKick.com. Spoiler alert: it didn’t end well for the guy who’s been fired more times than a circus cannon.

Olbermann, who seems to think tweeting snark from his mom’s basement qualifies as a personality, decided to take a swing at Gaines’ athletic record after Education Secretary Linda McMahon pointed out that Gaines might’ve clinched a race if not for a biological male competing. Olbermann, ever the keyboard warrior, fired off this gem:

“She finished 85th in the Olympic Trials,” the loser sneered. “She finished tied for 5th in the only race including a transgendered athlete. If there had been none, she MIGHT have finished tied for 4th, or had 5th place to herself.”

Then, because he can’t resist stepping on his own rake, he added: “[Gaines] was, somehow, a worse swimmer than she is a MAGA stooge.”

What a dork.

Big mistake, Keith. You don’t poke a lioness with a stick and expect to walk away unscathed. Gaines, a former NCAA swimming star, clapped back with the kind of precision that’d make a sniper jealous. She pointed out she was 15 during those Olympic trials.

“And I placed 5th in the nation in a sport measured in .01s of a second without going a best. Would you say the 5th-best college football player is objectively bad at their sport?” she fired back. Then came the knockout: “No. You’re just a misogynistic pig [and] an old, deranged man with a terminal case of TDS who can’t hold down a job.”

Boom! That’s gonna leave a mark. 

And she’s totally on the money about him. Olbermann’s resume reads like a rap sheet of terminations like Fox Sports, Current TV, ESPN (twice, because once wasn’t enough), and MSNBC/NBC. The man’s been canned so often he probably lists “professional firing victim” on his LinkedIn.

Not content to let him slink away, Gaines upped the ante, telling Fox News Digital she’d race Olbermann for charity. At first, she hesitated, and for good reason: “I’d challenge [Keith] to a race where the loser puts up $ to the charity of the winner’s choice, but no one wants to see him in a Speedo.”

Fair point because the mental image alone is enough to make you want to bleach your brain. But Gaines, being the class act she is, threw down the gauntlet anyway—a 200-yard freestyle for a good cause. Olbermann, predictably, scurried back to his cave, dusted the Cheeto crumbs off his keyboard, and tweeted this pathetic dodge:

“This is a brilliant idea [Riley]! A 66-year-old man with an arthritic left knee and chronic stress fractures in the right foot,” he whined. “Somebody you could finally beat!”

So shut up, Keith. Nice try. Even in your glory days, if you ever had any, you’d have been lapped by Gaines before you could say “unemployment check.” Let’s talk credentials. Gaines? A decorated NCAA swimmer with a trophy case full of accolades: 2021 and 2022 All-SEC First Team, 2022 SEC Female Scholar-Athlete of the Year, and one of the most accomplished swimmers in Kentucky’s history. Olbermann? His greatest athletic achievement was reportedly smacking his head on a subway pole at Shea Stadium in 1980, leaving him too dazed to drive. True story.

This isn’t Olbermann’s first time getting schooled by a strong woman. He once tried to tangle with Megyn Kelly over her NBC exit, and she mopped the floor with him. “But the record is very clear that I left voluntarily because I wanted to raise my family,” Kelly shot back. “Something you don’t know anything about because no one would marry you.” She didn’t stop there: “And you have no children. You have a cold, lonely life in which you’ve become a bitter, bitter man.”

He probably went back to the basement and cried quietly into his cat-pissed sofa.

And now, here’s Olbermann, still bitter, still deranged, shouting into the void, desperate for clout by attacking a woman with more talent in her pinky than he’s got in his entire rant-filled existence. Riley Gaines isn’t just a better athlete—she’s a better human. And Keith? He’s just a sad, jobless troll who keeps picking fights he can’t win. Keep swinging, buddy. You’re only knocking yourself out.

Trump demands Gov. Janet Mills apologize over her transgender stance

President Donald Trump Saturday demanded a "full-throated apology" from Democratic Maine Gov. Janet Mills regarding her stance on transgender athletes and insisted that she must promise not to make another "unlawful challenge" to the government.

"While the State of Maine has apologized for their Governor’s strong, but totally incorrect, statement about men playing in women’s sports while at the White House House Governor’s Conference, we have not heard from the Governor herself, and she is the one that matters in such cases," Trump said on Truth Social.

"Therefore, we need a full throated apology from the Governor herself, and a statement that she will never make such an unlawful challenge to the Federal Government again, before this case can be settled. I’m sure she will be able to do that quite easily," the President added.

Trump made this comment after the University of Maine said that it now complies with the NCAA rules as well as federal and state laws that were changed by Trump's executive order, which reflects reality and with which the majority of normal people agree: prohibiting men with the mental disorder of gender dysphoria to compete against girls in female sports.

The Trump administration said that an investigation determined the university was in violation of Title IX rules banning sex-based discrimination in programs receiving federal funding,  NBC News reported.

The Department of Agriculture had threatened to suspend federal funding to the university. UMS had received almost $30 million in USDA funding during the 2024 fiscal year.

“We are relieved to put the Department’s Title IX compliance review behind us so the land-grant University of Maine and our statewide partners can continue to leverage USDA and other essential federal funds to strengthen and grow our natural resource economy and dependent rural communities through world-class education, research, and extension,” the Dannel Malloy, the system’s chancellor, said in a statement to NBC News.

Last month, Trump and Mills traded barbs during the Governor's Conference over Maine and its state colleges and universities over the issue of barring transgender athletes from participating in girls' and women's sports.

When President Trump told Mills her state's schools and universities had to comply or risk losing federal funding, she told him "We'll see you in court."

He then told her the case "should be a real easy one" and to "enjoy your life after governor because I don't think you'll be in elected politics."

 Mills, a flaming leftist, has not as yet responded to Trump's latest salvo, however, she said, after an investigation was started into the state for allowing transgender athletes to participate, that "[T]his is not just about who can compete on the athletic field, this is about whether a President can force compliance with his will, without regard for the rule of law that governs our nation."

Mills got it wrong: it isn't just Trump's will, it's the will of the majority of Americans and the NCAA agreed too.

Earlier this week, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services said it determined that Maine's educational leadership violated federal law prohibiting sex discrimination by allowing a transgender athlete to be included in women's sports.

The agency's Office for Civil Rights sent warning letters to the Maine Department of Education, the Maine Principals' Association, and Greely High School, stating that the case could be referred to the Department of Justice if the issue is not resolved by next week.

Gov. Mills does not have a school-age female in her family, both immediate and extended. She likely has never needed to see the unfair competition females face against males with gender dysphoria competing against them in sports.

Self-identified Vietnam hero and US Senator Blumenthal breaks a leg

US Senator and self-proclaimed Vietnam War combat veteran Richard Blumenthal (D-CT), 77, is scheduled to undergo surgery on Easter Sunday after fracturing his femur at the victory parade for the UConn Men's Basketball team on Saturday.

The Huskies won the Men's NCAA Basketball National Championship earlier in the week, causing people who did not play in the game to grab the spotlight along with those who did. In Blumenthal's case, he doesn't only grab spotlights in sporting events, he even tried to grab it in the Vietnam War, which he claimed to fight in, but was later found to be lying.

News 12 Connecticut reported that someone was taking a video of the 77-year-old senator during the parade and fell on top of him which caused the injury.

Blumenthal was said to be in good spirits while speaking to News 12 Connecticut on the phone Saturday night, and told the outlet that his last minute turnaround jump shot was what won the game, so the injury didn't matter to him.

Blumenthal is currently serving in his third term in the United States Senate after being elected in 2011, and after not being a Vietnam War hero as previously believed.

The Huskies defeated San Diego State by a score of 79-56.

People supporting male athletes competing against females attack female swim champion who lost to male

Female swimming champion Riley Gaines was forced to barricade herself in a safe room Thursday after radical activists who support athletic competition of men, swarmed her. This criminal activity took place when Miss Gaines visited San Francisco State University to advocate for the rights of female athletes.

Gaines has highlighted the fact that these so called transgender women [aka mediocre athletic men] have an unfair biological advantage over women in sports requiring strength and/or speed. And since this is the United States of America, she has the right to fact-based opinion without having to fear for her safety from those who disagree.

Gaines, a former University of Kentucky star who was deprived of an NCAA award by a self-serving man named Lia Thomas, the University of Pennsylvania swimmer who claims to be female and competes against women, was at the school as part of a Turning Point USA event. 

Video on social media shows Gaines being hustled to safety by police officers as a mob of radical transgender activists follows her, shouting “Trans rights are human rights!”

Free speech is also human rights, but the left only feels that way when it supports their agenda.

“The prisoners are running the asylum at SFSU,” Gaines tweeted. “This is proof that women need sex-protected spaces. Still only further assures me I’m doing something right. When they want you silent, speak louder.”

Yes, as they say, if you're catching flak, you're over the target.

The prisoners are running the asylum at SFSU…I was ambushed and physically hit twice by a man. This is proof that women need sex-protected spaces.

Still only further assures me I'm doing something right. When they want you silent, speak louder. 🗣️ pic.twitter.com/uJW3x9RERf

— Riley Gaines (@Riley_Gaines_)

Gaines began her speech on protecting female athletes from unfair competition when non-athletic, flabby-skinned, protesters burst into the room where she was speaking. As she was being escorted to safety, she was physically assaulted, she said.

“I’m OK currently, but an hour and a half later, I’m still barricaded in a room with ambushers on the outside yelling and threatening violence,” Gaines said. “As police escorted me out of the event space to my current location, I was hit, physically, twice by what I presume was a male individual. This only assures me I’m doing the right thing.”

It is unknown whether or not the male that hit her was on the female MMA team, but he hasn't been arrested and some Democrats are calling him brave.

It was unknow how long Ms. Gaines was barricaded in the room, but the event began at 7 p.m. local time, and at midnight, police were still dispersing the Marxists.

Transgender activists holding @Riley_Gaines_ hostage demanded money in exchange for her safe passage off of the San Francisco State University.

Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk blasted the protesters behind the ugly and cowardly incident.

“This is unacceptable at an American college campus, even in San Francisco,” Kirk tweeted. “Pray for Riley Gaines and for our brave students at SFSU.”

Gaines’s agent, Eli Bremer, said Gaines will not back down from the mob.

“Instead of a thoughtful discussion tonight at SFSU, Riley was violently accosted, shouted at, physically assaulted, and barricaded in a room by protestors. It is stunning that in America in 2023, it is acceptable for biological male students to violently assault a woman for standing up for women’s rights,” Bremer said in a statement. “This will not stop Riley from boldly educating people of the dangers of biological males in women’s sports. She will continue to speak the truth against the radical left that no longer understands the difference between men and women.”

The left simply cannot handle thoughtful discussion because their points are weak tea. 

Gaines, an All-American at the University of Kentucky and a five-time Southeastern Conference champion, tied the fully penised and testicled Thomas at last year’s NCAA championships. That's how mediocre and selfish Mr. Thomas is.

But things appear to be changing as real men see this sudden trans dominance against women in competition as unfair. In Canada, a bearded powerlifter entered a women's competition identifying as a woman. Previously, the record was held by a man who identified as a woman and he had been watching the competition from the sidelines.

Avi Silverberg

Avi Silverberg, the head coach for Team Canada Powerlifting for over 10 years, entered the Saturday's Heroes Classic tournament in Alberta, identifying as a woman and casually bench-pressed 370 pounds---beating the mediocre trans athlete by almost 100 pounds.

I say to Avi Silverberg, more power to him. It's about time a good guy shows a selfish trans athlete just how selfish they are to compete against women.

Finally, women athletes who find themselves in competition against men who claim they're women, ought to think twice about competing. It's easy for me to say since I'm not vying for a scholarship or money, but if women simply bowed out of these contests, something would have to be done.

A man does not win NCAA's "Woman of the Year" for some reason

Thomas answers the question: "How many testicles do you sport?"

Lia [formally Will] Thomas may have changed his name and swimming status, but he has not changed his biological sex, his genital gear [twig and berries], and his XY chromosome combination that is present in every cell in his body. According to some female swimmers, Thomas hasn't even changed his sexual attraction to women. He has merely changed what he claims to be: a female.

Thomas swam as a male up until his senior year for the University of Pennsylvania. He finished out his senior year on the women's team and although he was a mediocre male swimmer, he destroyed the women with his race times. That's because he is a man and thus has bigger lung capacity, strength, wingspan, and he even has his own built-in rudder.

Thomas was nominated by UPenn earlier this month but since rejected as the Ivy League's nominee for the NCAA's "Woman of the Year." The award recognizes "female student-athletes who have exhausted their eligibility and distinguished themselves in their community, in athletics and in academics throughout their college careers.” 

But Lia Thomas is not a female no matter what he claims but he sure as hell is a narcissistic, selfish piece of crap for beating up on women athletes who excel in their category.

The Ivy League, comprised of Penn, Brown University, Columbia University, Cornell University, Dartmouth College, Harvard University, Princeton University and Yale University, chose as its nominee fencing champion Sylvie Binder of Columbia University/Barnard College, because she actually is a woman and knows it.

Binder, who hails from Armonk, New York, is a three-time first team all-American who won the NCAA women’s foil title in 2019, and the bronze medal in 2018 and 2022. She finished her undergraduate college education with a 3.91 grade point average. Not too shabby.

In her bio after winning a Leadership and Excellence Award, Binder wrote, “To my family and their unconditional love and support for the past 5 years: Dad, Mom, Abby, and Zach, I owe it all to you.”

And for all the podium losses NCAA women lost unfairly, they owe it all to Lia Thomas. A dude, not good enough to compete successfully against other dudes. 

The NCAA needs to do some soul-searching of their own to have allowed a man to compete against women in the first place.

International Swimming Federation bans some men from beating women

Can you spot the "woman" with a penis?

The international swimming federation FINA announced a new policy Sunday. They will ban male athletes [people born with a penis who generally produce sperm, have XY chromosomes, greater muscle mass than females, generally more muscle strength, and can hygienically pee standing up]. The males being banned needed to have gone through male puberty, otherwise little boys can compete against little girls.

To qualify for women’s competitions, the swimmers must either have never gone through male puberty or had male puberty suppressed at the stage when physical changes begin to appear or before the age of 12, whichever occurred later, according to the policy. For those male swimmers who have had their male puberty suppressed with Lupron, a chemical castration drug, your parents are mentally ill.

The athletes also have to prove that they have continuously suppressed their testosterone levels since that time even though testosterone cannot completely neutralize the physical advantages males have over females in sports that require strength, speed, or both.

“We have to protect the rights of our athletes to compete, but we also have to protect competitive fairness at our events, especially the women’s category at FINA competitions,” FINA president Husain al-Musallam said in statement. Of course they could protect the rights of athletes to compete by having a separate category for transgender athletes., but FINA may be trying to work something out in that area.

“FINA will always welcome every athlete,” Husain al-Musallam said. “The creation of an open category will mean that everybody has the opportunity to compete at an elite level. This has not been done before, so FINA will need to lead the way. I want all athletes to feel included in being able to develop ideas during this process.”

FINA member federations voted on Sunday to enact the policy, which was crafted by a working group of athletes, scientists, and medical and legal experts that began meeting in November.

More than 70 percent of members endorsed the policy, which will take effect Monday. The 30 percent that refused to endorse the policy also believe Joe Biden is doing a great job.

The decision comes after Lia Thomas, the University of Pennsylvania swimmer became the first male athlete to win an NCAA Division I national woman's championship. As a male competitor, Thomas was ranked 462nd, a mediocre position at best. As a guy swimming against women, he kicked ass, shooting up to Number One, leaving the second place swimmer over half a minute behind in his wake. That's akin to a swimming lightyear that only a narcissistic jerk like Thomas would believe is justified.

Happy Pride Month, soon to be Pride Year if this keeps up.

Ex-UPenn teammate says trans swimmer Lia Thomas is 'mentally ill'

Mr. Thomas beats women

Well, it isn't just conservative writers saying that gender dysphoric [aka transgender] swimmer Lia Thomas, formerly William Thomas, is mentally ill. 

The woman who remains anonymous in fear of repercussions and possible violence done to her, was clear that Thomas, a man who thinks he's a woman, or at least claims to think he's a woman, said the controversial athlete is "mentally ill," making her statement in an exclusive interview with Christopher Tremoglie of the Washington Examiner.

The anonymous former teammate was speaking in response to a recent interview Thomas had with "Good Morning America." Thomas, a man with his junk still intact, was allowed to beat women--I mean compete against women on the UPenn women's swim team in his senior year in college. He claims he make-believe change [aka transitioning, a fake term] brought him true happiness.

Rumor has it that Thomas still digs the women but can't admit it because they might take his record-smashing medals away when he beat the second place actual woman by 38 seconds and set all kinds of NCAA records in the women's swim division.

The anonymous teammate scoffed at Thomas' claim about his true happiness in the Examiner interview:

"You can tell he is mentally ill. I saw the video and was so disgusted.

"Lia identified as a woman, but she is not a female. That is a fact. It doesn't matter how you feel."

Yes, boys have penises and girls have vaginas. Lia Thomas does not have a vagina, so do the math.

Pressed to further explain her comments, the anonymous woman said that Thomas “was not grounded in reality and was instead so consumed with his own life that he failed to acknowledge any damage he inflicted upon his real female teammates.” The psychological term for this is probably narcissism, I have not diagnosed him, but you can call it sucking.

The woman pointed out how Mr. Thomas damaged women's sports and basically stolen opportunities from real women swimmers, such as his teammates and rival women from competing universities. “Lia's experience was his alone, and many suffered so that he could benefit,” Tremoglie wrote in recounting the interviewee's sentiments.

The ex-teammate of Thomas expressed how upset she was about his glib attitude about taking a woman’s spot on the team and the winner’s stand. She said multiple team members felt the same way.

But if you think Lia Thomas sucks, don't forget the fact that the NCAA went along with this woke bull crap.

The interviewee also pointed out Thomas' lack of empathy and concern for the women "forced to sacrifice their rights to happiness." And these women were uncomfortable with a man in their locker room who flaunted his penis and testicles. They questioned why their happiness was discounted.

What I don't understand is why would any woman agree to compete against a man in any sporting event that requires either strength, speed, or both.

In swimming, for example, imagine the impact they would have if they all just stood on the starting platform and let the guy swim his balls off. I realize they would worry that they would be sacrificing scholarships or professional status, but if they all did it, men like Thomas would look like selfish fools and the women would be making a powerful statement that might just give them the results they deserve.

Lia Thomas is a horrible, mentally ill man who, I suspect, hates women at a deep level and has the self-awareness of a guppy.

Mr. Lia Thomas and a woman battle it out at women's tri-meet: guess who won

University of Pennsylvania man who goes by the name Lia Thomas, kicked butt in the 200-meter and 500-meter freestyle against the women but finished in fifth place in the 100-meter freestyle at the tri-meet with Dartmouth and Yale.

The young man finished about 2 seconds ahead of the women opponents with a time of 1:48.73 in the 200 freestyle but could not match the NCAA women's record set by Olympian Missy Franklin, whose time was 1:39.10. It turns out Thomas didn't dominate as he did at the Zippy Invitational at Akron in December.

In the 500, Thomas won by the "skin of his testicles," as it were, according to The Daily Mail.

He raced against Yale's Iszac Henig, a girl who wants to be a guy and plans to start calling herself "he," or whatever her pronouns will be that she chooses. Miss Henig's time was 49.57, destroying Mr. Thomas who swam 52.84.

Henig, who is from California and has been competing for Yale since 2018, stunned the limited spectators at the race who usually enjoy watching guys beat the gals no matter what names they choose.

One UPenn parent spoke with The Daily Mail. "I wasn't prepared for that. Everything is messed up. I can't wrap my head around this. The NCAA needs to do something about this. They need to put science into the decision and discussion." 

What this parent doesn't realize is that the NCAA sanctions men competing against women in spite of how it will impact of female sports scholarships and the sports themselves.

Miss Henig has had her breasts cut off but wrote in a New York Times column in June that she was not taking hormones just yet because she wanted to compete in the pool. It would be statistically improbable for a woman athlete to beat a man athlete in swimming competitions because, you know, biology.

"As a student-athlete, coming out as a trans guy put me in a weird position. I could start hormones to align more with myself, or wait, transition socially and keep competing on a women's swim team. I decided on the latter," Miss Henig wrote with a flowery flair of her pen.

"I value my contributions to the team and recognize that my boyhood doesn't hinge on whether there's more or less testosterone running through my veins. At least, that's what I'll try to remember when I put on the women's swimsuit for the competition and am reminded of a self I no longer feel attached to."

Miss Henig is not in psychotherapy at this time, as far as we know. Her specialty is freestyle and butterfly. She also enjoys soft music, poetry by Kalil Gibran, long walks on the beach at sunset, and women who share her likes.

Thomas’ blazing pace in the pool, basically destroying the women competitors by no less than 38 seconds for second place, drew scrutiny from normal people who did not agree that men who call thems+elves women should be competing against women who call themselves women. Sadly for the women, Mr. Thomas received the blessing from the Ivy League and the school earlier in the week, because the wrath of the LGBTQ2+WXYZ community scares them.

And while I can go on and on about how the NCAA and the school reacted to the controversy, suffice it to say that both organizations are populated by cowards and science deniers no matter how much lipstick they put on that pig.

UPenn women swimmers may boycott final meet to protest swimming against a dude

Lia Thomas 

Teammates of male swimmer who changed his name to Lia Thomas and let his hair grow, on the University of Pennsylvania swim team have finally come to their senses and are considering a boycott of their final home meet. They have come to see for themselves the uselessness of trying to compete against a male swimmer who calls himself a woman and has shattered every female swimming record due to his biological advantages.

As it turns out, the Daily Mail reported, that the women ultimately decided to forgo the boycott rather than being called a name; specifically transphobic. So much for "sticks and stones."

But perhaps I'm not being fair. The women fear being banned from the Ivy League championship and are unwilling to overcome that fear, unlike Rosa Parks, who overcame her fear of refusing to sit in the back of the bus. 

They did say, however, that they may have a false start at the gun. That's akin to Rosa Parks going up to the front of the bus and then returning to her seat in the back.

“They’ve been ignored by both Penn and the NCAA, and there is a feeling among some of the girls that they should make some sort of statement, seize the opportunity while they have a spotlight on them to make their feelings about the issue known,” an anonymous source close to the team told the outlet. 

The source also said that the teammates are looking to show their opposition to the NCAA rules that allowed Mr. Thomas to compete on the men’s team for three years and then compete on the women’s team after a year of hormone therapy. Taking hormones doesn't change decades of male biology.

When Thomas swam on the men's team for 3 years at UPenn, he "would break seven-time gold medal Olympic champion Katie Ledecky's college times," The Daily Wire had previously reported,

Wouldn't it be great if, at the final event, the women stood on the starting platform, got into their "start" positions, waited for the gun to go off, stood up and crossed their arms while Thomas took off and set new women's records? 

They could even cheer him on to show their support for the school.

The term "transgender" is misleading. It purports that men can become women and vice-versa through the use of hormones and genital mutilation and disfigurement. It used to be properly classified as "gender dysphoria" and "gender confusion," but we allowed the political correctness [an oxymoron of a term if there ever was one] of the Left, to try convincing us that it can be done. So rather than calling it a mental illness, it's now a fashion choice.

USA Swimming Official Quits in Protest of Dudes Competing Against Females

When Lia [formerly Will] Thomas swims in the women's competition you think you can hear the sound of one person clapping but what you're really hearing is his junk beating against his inner thigh as he proudly breaks all the women's records because he's a dude.

Finally, an official with USA Swimming quit in protest over the UPenn swimmer who, by changing his name to Lia and calling himself a female, is allowed to compete against women. Thomas competed as a male for three years at the school before identifying and competing as a woman. He has already shattered women's swimming records by huge amounts and is stealing records like Nancy Pelosi steals insider trader information.

The official who quit is Cynthia Millen. The Washington Times reported that she “has officiated at USA Swimming events for 30 years, but she hung up her whistle last week in protest over Penn transgender swimmer Lia Thomas, and she hopes others will follow her lead.”

Let's not refer to people who believe they are the opposite sex when they mutilate their genitals as 'transgender' because that implies gender can be changed with surgery and drugs. It cannot.

Millen told the outlet she notified USA Swimming of her resignation on December 17 in a letter, saying she made the decision while packing for the U.S. Paralympics Swimming National Championships in Greensboro, North Carolina.

“I can’t do this, I can’t support this,” she said.

Good for her--this is a person with rare courage and obvious scruples.

“I told my fellow officials that I can no longer participate in a sport which allows biological men to compete against women. Everything fair about swimming is being destroyed,” she wrote in the letter.

Thomas’ times while swimming for the men’s team “would break seven-time gold medal Olympic champion Katie Ledecky’s college times,”  The Daily Wire previously reported, 

Millen told the Times that if she had to officiate a swim meet where Thomas competed, she would have to rule the senior ineligible to compete as a woman [because he's a dude].

“If Lia came on my deck as a referee, I would pull the coach aside and say, ‘Lia can swim, but Lia can swim exhibition or a time trial. Lia cannot compete against those women because that’s not fair,’” Millen told the outlet.

Millen also called on other volunteer officials to protest any meets that include transgender women [aka men] competing against women.

“This is not right because by doing this, we’re supporting this,” Millen told the Times. “There are no swim meets if there are no officials.”

The same can be said if the women swimmers refuse to jump into the water when the gun goes off.

Multiple Penn students have spoken out anonymously [in fear of being cancelled by the school or attacked by Antifa] about the inherent unfairness in allowing Thomas to compete against women. Students told The Daily Wire of their frustrations surrounding Thomas’ spot on the women’s team.

“You don’t need a life science degree to know that testosterone gives a massive advantage for physical strength. Not to mention increased red blood cell counts that provide greater oxygenation during long distance exercises, lower natural body fat percentages, and so on,” a student said. “Biological men are physically advantaged over women by nature.”

Neither the NCAA nor USA Swimming have commented publicly on the Thomas situation, because they, unlike Lia Thomas, have no balls.

Obama's Warning to Putin, Yadda Yadda Yadda

"President" Obama spoke on the South Lawn this morning. His speech was aimed at Russian president, Putin, and the invasion of Crimea. Obama said that he is "deeply concerned" (as opposed to being not so concerned that he would interrupt his NCAA picks on TV) about the illegal referendum in Crimea and the dangerous threat it imposes.  

So Obama will be imposing even more sanctions on other individuals and even one bank that's involved in this mess if Putin refuses to stand down in Crimea. Obama's executive order gives the U.S. authority to impose these sanctions but he warned that the sanctions could hurt the global economy and Russia's economy, and deep inside, where Obama's deepest concerns lie, he hoped that these measures would not be taken personally by Putin and they could still be sort of friends.
