Founder of XX-XY Athletics takes aim at video featuring Megan Rapinoe and Sue Bird supporting trans youth in sports
Jennifer Sey slammed The ACLU and Megan Rapinoe after the organization posted a video as a part of their latest campaign standing with transgender athletes.
She said the video made her “so angry.”
Sey is a USA National artistic gymnastics champion, and the founder of XX-XY Athletics, an activewear company that advocates for protecting women’s sports and spaces.
For their “More Than A Game” campaign, the ACLU posted a video in support of transgender athletes. On its website, the group says it is standing with trans youth and their families and their rights to “be themselves.”
“Supporting trans youth, isn’t just about sports. It’s about freedom,” the video says. The video includes former Team USA women’s soccer player Megan Rapinoe, former WNBA player Sue Bird, and WNBA player Brianna Turner.
Talking to Fox News Digital, Sey did not hold back.
“Sports aren’t about any of those things. Sports are about competition. Sports are not about inclusion. Not everybody makes the team.”
“Sports are competing and striving to get better, and it’s about self-reliance and picking yourself up when you fall down. They’re not about freedom. There’s rules in sports. Three strikes and you’re out. There’s rules across every single sport. So I don’t know what these people are talking about and to make it about this idea that sports aren’t about competition.”
This comes as the Supreme Court is weighing new cases regarding protections for female athletes. The ACLU is standing with trans athletes.
