But lacking in those comments is the need for logical discourse, according to the pair of ESPN colleagues on their Twitter accounts.
Sam Ponder backed Sage Steele on Tuesday after women’s soccer star Megan Rapinoe claimed Steele’s words “directly leads to violence.”. “Dave Chappelle making jokes about trans people directly leads to violence, whether it’s verbal or otherwise, against trans people.
“When Martina [Navratilova] or Sage [Steele] or whoever are talking about this, people aren’t hearing it just in the context of elite sports. They’re saying, ‘The rest of my life, this is how I’m going to treat trans people.
Steele piggybacked off Ponder’s defense, agreeing that Rapinoe’s claims of incitement of violence were baseless and unfair. “it’s absurd. And predictable,” Steele said. “This is what happens when ppl allow their emotions to get in the way of FACTS & SCIENCE. Esp when they’re fighting to keep a false narrative alive. You said it best after [Nancy] Armour attacked you: ‘biology is not bigotry’ #SaveWomensSports.”When asked if she would be okay with a transgender woman taking her spot on the team after next season Rapinoe replied, “Absolutely.
Ponder’s response to Rapinoe is at least the second time she and Steele have defended each other as they are allied in their beliefs against the transgender-women-in-sports movement.USA Today articleI barely said anything publicly abt this issue & I’ve had so many ppl msg me, stop me in the street to say thank you+ tell me stories abt girls who are afraid to speak up for fear of lost employment/being called hateful.
