ESPN Torched For Woke Post About Trump’s EO Banning Men From Women’s Sports

ESPN was torched on social media after the sports network slammed President Donald Trump on X for signing an executive order banning biological men from competing in women’s sports.

“President Donald Trump will sign an executive order Wednesday designed to prevent people who were biologically assigned male at birth from participating in women’s or girls’ sporting events,” ESPN’s post on Wednesday read.

Followers blasted ESPN for claiming any person is “biologically assigned” a sex at birth.

“Holy crap, look at this Tweet,” OutKick’s Clay Travis wrote. “[ESPN] said Trump is preventing ‘people who were biologically assigned male at birth’ from competing in women’s sports. How broken is this company?!”

“Trump signing an executive order banning men from competing in women’s sports on national women in sports day is going to explode the brains of the woke [ESPN] employees,” he added in an earlier post. “Remember they named [trans-identifying male swimmer] Lia Thomas one of their women’s athletes of the year! Will [ESPN] cover it at all?”

Former female collegiate swimmer and outspoken women’s sports advocate Riley Gaines wrote, “’people who were biologically assigned male at birth’ is the most inefficient way to say ‘men’ lol.”

The Federalist’s Mollie Hemingway added, “Being male or female is not a function of being ‘assigned’ something at birth, you idiots. Your propaganda terms are dangerous.”

Another person wrote, “People aren’t ‘assigned male at birth.’ Delete your post and fire the woke freak who wrote this.”

While another person added, “Why is it that you people are so obsessed with letting men compete in women’s sports? Why can’t you accept that nobody wants to do this woke bulls**t anymore? The charade is over. Cut the s**t.”

“Yes. Allowing female athletes to thrive,” another wrote on X. “It used to be called feminism [ESPN]. Look it up.”

The president is expected to sign the executive order on Wednesday afternoon, surrounded by advocates who have fought against radical gender ideology and for the preservation of women’s spaces.

The Walt Disney Company is the majority owner of ESPN.
