Suni Lee’s Espys Look Was a 10/10

LOS ANGELES, JUL 16 – Simone Biles won Best Championship Performance and Best Athlete in Women’s Sports ESPYs, reigniting debate over transgender athletes after a public feud with Riley Gaines, drawing mixed reactions.

  • Wednesday night at the ESPYs saw Simone Biles win two awards, including Best Championship Performance, and make gender-related comments that reignited debate.
  • In early June, Biles criticized Gaines’s stance on trans athletes, after her online feud with Riley Gaines over transgender participation.
  • When on stage, Simone Biles quipped, `That was very unexpected, especially in a category of all men, so thank you guys,` demonstrating irony, with applause and some viewing it as shade at Riley Gaines and trans sports opponents.
  • Following the speech, observers noted that Biles's gender-focused comments on X underscored her polarizing role, fueling backlash and debate.
  • On X, Simone Biles wrote, `'I’ve always believed competitive equity and inclusivity are both essential in sport…' indicating a stance shift and suggesting future dialogue on transgender inclusion in sports.
