Tennis Legend Martina Navratilova Hates How ‘Democrats Totally Failed’ on Protecting Women’s Sports
New York Post ^ | Feb. 6, 2025

Tennis legend Martina Navratilova criticized Democrats on Wednesday after President Trump signed an executive order to protect girls and women’s sports.

Trump signed the “No Men in Women’s Sports” executive order from the East Room of the White House. The order gave federal agencies the power to ensure that entities receiving federal funding abide by original Title IX standards.

Navratilova, a lifelong Democrat who has championed fairness in women’s sports, ridiculed the other side of the aisle for failing to do what the president did. “I hate that the Democrats totally failed women and girls on this very clear issue of women’s sports being for females only,” she wrote in a post on X. It is not the first time Navratilova criticized the political party for not doing more to protect women’s sports.

Lifelong Democrat? She spent her first 18 years in a one party country. When she was 18 she asked the U.S. for political asylum, so Czechoslovakia stripped he of her citizenship. She was a citizen of no country until she received U.S. citizenship in 1981.

Total fools, democrats failed at taking away women’s rights and failed at allowing women to be marginalized. They never were about women and regardless of how obvious it is these ideologues refuse to accept the truth.

She just can’t bring herself to accept she was wrong about the left, liberals often want to be blindly ignorant and live in a false reality.,

It’s always about the jersey with these idiots. Like the dems are their team and they’ll stick with them no matter how bad they suck and ruin the country. Morons.

She is a lesbian.
Yet even she does not like what’s going on.

Just when you think she may be pretty smart you realize she’s pretty damn dumb for still being a democrat.

Did the gays really think the madness would stop once they got the right to marry?

The Left always has to push the envelope.

Navratilova, a lifelong Democrat who has championed fairness in women’s sports....

 

You can be a lifelong Democrat or you can champion fairness in women's sports, but you can't do both.

“Failed”? Hardly. INTENTIONALLY TRIED to destroy. They put the needs of 0.001% of the population ahead of the needs of 50% of the population.

They didn’t fail. They wanted it that way. Where were all their feminazis standing up for their fellow females?

Democrats are all phony people.

She still doesn’t fully get it. Dims/leftists/commies don’t care about people. All they have is their desired results and come hell or highwater, they are gonna try to get there, a few people be damned.
