I love Riley Gaines fights.

Former college swimmer Riley Gaines tweeted on Tuesday that the Harvard swim team appeared to have received a letter about transgender swimmer Leah Thomas competing.

Now an advocate for fairness and equality in women’s sport, Gaines speaks out against Thomas, the NCAA, and other groups accepting biological men to participate in women’s sport.

In a letter that Gaines found out about and posted on social media, he said:

“The conversations and controversies surrounding Leah have been difficult to read, especially focusing on what is fair and what is ethical. Regardless of your personal stance, Leah is incredible. We are as transparent as we are and follow all NCAA rules, it’s true. [Schuyler Bailar]Having witnessed his transformation first-hand, if it weren’t for the team’s support, he might not be here today.

Life is more important than politics. It never dictates what we should do or what we should believe, but spending our collective energy on getting frustrated or frustrated is what benefits the team by winning a championship. does not bring Let the NCAA think about next steps. Let’s focus on our team. Also, if you are contacted by a member of the press, please contact the Sports Media Office directly and refrain from commenting if possible. “

That gave Gaines a “translation of the message they were conveying.”

“Let [me] By asking them to focus on how great Lia was, you can take your attention away from what you feel is inherently wrong. Let her be emotionally blackmailed into accepting the abuse. Otherwise, you are complicit in potential death. Exchanging one’s fair treatment for the benefit of another (a man in this case) is a legitimate cause. And the fair treatment of women is “just politics” anyway.

We won’t tell you what to do, but we will tell you that fighting this is a bad choice. Let the NCAA officials decide your fate. Focus your thoughts and feelings elsewhere to ignore the obvious injustice you face. Let others decide whether you deserve fair competition without your opinion or statement. Oh, please don’t speak last. “

The Harvard swimmer shared this message sent to the entire team over the Leah Thomas controversy. Here’s a translation of the message they’re conveying…

Riley Gaines is a very G man. The way she works is just a smooth cat.

But it shouldn’t come as a surprise to Harvard if this really is true. It sucks too, Harvard is an academic powerhouse, has insane supplies considering it has a solid exercise program, and I love the colors of that school (and , that crest is so dope). But hey…why does everyone and everything considered “elite” have to promote the most ridiculous things?

It just makes them look stupid and I lose brain cells in the process.

Do your best, Harvard.
