Simone Biles apologized to Riley Gaines on Tuesday for their online spat over trans-identifying males in women’s sports, the Olympic gymnast adding that she believes the current women’s sports system is “flawed.”
The two athletes clashed on Friday when Biles attacked Gaines seemingly out of the blue, calling the former University of Kentucky swimmer a “sore loser” and telling her to “bully someone your own size, which would ironically be a male.”
“I wanted to follow up from my last tweets,” Biles posted Tuesday on X. “I’ve always believed competitive equity & inclusivity are both essential in sport. The current system doesn’t adequately balance these important principles, which often leads to frustration and heated exchanges, and it didn’t help for me to get personal with Riley, which I apologize for.”
...
Biles had initially responded to a post from Gaines last week criticizing a high school girls’ softball team that won a state championship after the team’s trans-identifying male pitcher pitched five straight games in which he gave up just one run.

When those of us who are on the right side of this issue speak up without fear of cancellation, the Social Justice Warriors find themselves in the clear minority and fold like a Hong Kong suitcase in the pouring rain.
Keep on speaking the truth.
Apology accepted.
From the excerpt is sounds like a legit apology but she’s still a misguided fool.
Agreed....
The fact they unearthed a tweet from Biles in 2017 where she was complaining about men playing in womens sports didn’t help her argument either...
That’s quite a 180 turn
So much of what people believe in politics is feelings, and emotional habituation, overlain on faulty perceptions of reality.
Maybe she was able to overcome that, and have a good, logical think about her nebulous beliefs and feelings.
“The Women’s Sports System” ?
Seriously ?
Riley did a hilarious video where her husband measured her height with a tape measure to prove she is only 5’6”. I learned she is married - lucky fella!
I’m relieved.
I was awestruck by Simone’s talent, but once she took the side of the nuts, I dismissed her as a lost cause, another anti American moron.
I’m glad she’s back.
In this particular argument, we are destined to win, because we have science on OUR side in this argument.
Sobriety is a good thing. It is good that she sobered up. What Biles did will always accentuate her walking away from competing against girls in the Olympics because she felt inadequate and had a lack of confidence. Her lack of ability to assess the situation demonstrates why she should not occupy the position/rank that she does. Maybe she never heard of Martina Navratilova. She has the mental genetics of a child.

Gobbledygook statement about balancing equity and inclusion kinda minimizes the apology. She needed to apologize, her handlers/publicist must be livid with her, totally off the deep DEI end.
It may be legit but this quote from her -- "I've always believed in equity & inclusivity" -- tells me she hasn't changed.
Easy fix!
Women’s sports
Men’s sports
Tranny women sports, no real dicks allowed
Tranny Men’s, no real vags allowed
The quickest fix for this whole charade is simply to eliminate women’s sports entirely. Then watch what happens.
Exactly, makes it a weak tepid apology. She has been lambasted from all corners, but she hasn't learned a thing.
**once she took the side of the nuts, I dismissed her as a lost cause**
Give her a break.
**they unearthed a tweet from Biles in 2017 where she was complaining about men playing in womens sports didn’t help her argument either...**
She was very young.
Simone Biles is both Mary Lou Retton and Tiger Woods. America’s sweetheart and like Tiger a black star. We celebrate winners. If only OJ stayed home and counted his money.
Too late, Bile, you’ve already outed yourself.
