Bob Costas Criticizes Trans Athletes' Participation in Women's Sports

Sportscaster Bob Costas calls for common sense in the debate over trans athletes in women's sports, emphasizing the need for fair competition.

Bob Costas shared his views on trans athletes in women's sports, stating it goes against 'common sense' during his appearance on 'Real Time with Bill Maher'.
Costas argued that ignoring the physical differences for the sake of 'inclusion' lacks sense, citing the example of Lia Thomas wanting to swim against women despite physical advantages.
The discussion highlighted the complexity of sports federations' rules regarding trans athletes, with Costas suggesting that a separate division for trans athletes is not the solution.
Caitlin Flanagan, alongside Costas, criticized the participation of trans women in women's sports, pointing out the natural advantages that come from sex-linked traits.
More Americans express concern that the inclusion of trans athletes in sports could lead to the extinction of women's athletics.
