Megyn Kelly Slams USA Today Columnist for Supporting Transgender Athletes in Sports

Megyn Kelly has sparked controversy with her recent comments on transgender athletes in women’s sports, specifically targeting USA Today sports columnist Nancy Armour. In a fiery episode of The Megyn Kelly Show, Kelly criticized Armour for her support of transgender women competing in women’s sports, calling her a ‘national disgrace’ and urging her to ‘shut the f**k up’.

The heated debate was ignited by South Carolina Gamecocks head coach Dawn Staley, who recently stated that transgender athletes ‘should be able to play’ in women’s basketball. Staley’s comments came after her team’s victory in the Final Four of March Madness, sparking a debate on the inclusion of transgender athletes in women’s sports.

Kelly, known for her outspoken views, lambasted both Staley and Armour for their stance on the issue, highlighting a recent incident in Massachusetts where a high school girls basketball team was forced to forfeit a game after a transgender player injured three players on the opposing team.

The debate on transgender athletes in sports has become a contentious issue in recent years, with the NCAA amending its policy to allow each sport’s rules to be determined by national governing bodies or international federations. Despite the controversy, there are currently no known transgender women competing in Division I basketball.

As the discussion on transgender athletes continues to evolve, voices like Megyn Kelly’s are bringing attention to the complex and often divisive nature of the issue. The debate is far from over, and the sports world will continue to grapple with questions of inclusion, fairness, and safety in the realm of women’s sports.
