He said: 'The American women's football team in Megan Rapinoe lost 5-2 against a group of 15-year-old children and now wants adult men in women's sports. His brain is broken.

Megan Rapinoe's “brain is broken,” says Clay Travis after criticizing Trump's prohibition for trans athletes
Rapinoe is not buying the reasoning behind Trump's executive order in trans athletes
The USWNT legend, Carli Lloyd, later admitted in November 2023 that his two-time World Cup winning team was defeated 5-2 by a FC team Dallas U-15 Boys in a practice game.
Images of the FC Dallas youth team also arose posing for photos with USWNT players.
Since its inauguration in January, Trump has signed executive orders that require the federal government to recognize only two genres and another entitled: “Keep men out of women's sports.”
In the last order, the Trump administration promised to terminate funds to any institution that allows trans athletes to participate in women's sports.
Since then, NCAA has modified its policy and now limits women's sports to students assigned to birth.
But although Trump's order states that “it protects opportunities for women and girls to compete in safe and righteous sports,” Rapinoe insists that there is a more sinister purpose at stake.
“I think it's really cruel,” he said.
'You know, if you retire everything, it's a bit cruel and depraved. This is not a problem and you cannot be implemented by trans people without stock.
'We just went through a very long period for ten years that they really need to fight only to reach a baseline of, such as equal rights and non -discriminatory behavior, and when people stop only in women's sports. I think we are something like that at that time.

The president recently announced an order entitled: 'Keep men out of women's sports'
Piers Morgan immediately took Rapinoe's opinion online, attacking her for calling Trump “depraved.”
“Imagine to think that anyone who questions the biological men who play in women's sport is” depraved, “” wrote Morgan, 59, in X along with a series of smiling emojis. “Rapinoe is a fraud.”
Rapinoe has always criticized Trump, but exacerbated his focus on the president in 2022 when his Judges of the Supreme Court collected by hand revoked Roe V. Wade, thus pushing the debate on reproductive rights to the United States.
And although the World Cup champion admits that she is not “personally scared” about Trump's second mandate, he admitted in an interview after the elections in November that fears for marginalized populations.
'I am nervous, but I also have hopes. I believe in people and certainly believe in women and I think people want better than the gloomy, dark and violent reality that Donald Trump has presented us very clearly, “he said.

Swimmer Lia Thomas and Volleyball player Blaire Fleming have been the focus of controversy
The controversial legend of NWSL and partner of the superstar withdrawal from the wnba Sue Bird has also been a firm defender of trans rights, both inside and outside the field.
It was among the 40 professional athletes to sign a letter in 2023 that opposed a bill aimed at excluding trans athletes from women's sports under Title IX, part of the Civil Rights Law of the 70s that prohibits sex -based discrimination.
While NCAA officials estimated less than 10 transgender athletes who practice women's sports in associated schools, the organization has instituted an effective prohibition in the future.
This occurs after athletes such as Penn Lia Thomas swimmer, who identifies as Trans, and the volleyball player of the state of San José, Blaire Fleming, who, according to reports, was found in the center of the national controversy in recent years.
