Megan Rapinoe says the real threats to women's sports are lack of funding, media coverage and unequal pay – not transgender kids

Soccer superstar Megan Rapinoe slammed bills aimed at barring transgender athletes from participating in girl's or women's sports teams, saying they are attempting to "solve a problem that doesn't exist."
"Sports have become another avenue to attack the rights of trans people," she wrote in an op-ed published in the Washington Post on Sunday. "These efforts cause incredible harm to trans youth, who, like all kids in a global pandemic, are feeling isolated and need compassion and support." She pointed to other issues plaguing women's sports – and they have nothing to do with transgender children.More Related News
