Protecting the playing field: GOP urges governors to take action on women’s sports
Fox News
Sens. Jim Risch and Tommy Tuberville are urging governors across the country to adhere to President Donald Trump’s executive order to keep men out of women’s sports.
Brooke Singman is a political correspondent and reporter for Fox News Digital, Fox News Channel and FOX Business.
Fox News Digital obtained a letter authored by Risch, R-Idaho, and Tuberville, R-Ala., and sent to the National Governor’s Association. The senators said their states have taken "decisive action to protect women’s sports" but "many governors have yet to do so" and are "jeopardizing a fair playing field for female athletes."
"The majority of Americans agree that biological men should not be allowed to compete in women’s sports," they wrote, saying that the executive order "reinforces a fundamental truth: women and girls deserve an even playing field on which they can compete and excel in athletics."
