The trans athletes who are ruining teen girl's chances on the track
The latest controversy erupted at a California track meet where teenage high-school athlete Reese Hogan made a statement after being beaten into second place by transgender competitor AB Hernandez.
After posing for the official photo with Hernandez on the winner's podium, Hogan stepped up to claim the top spot herself once the cameras stopped rolling.
Political activist Riley Gaines praised the bold move.
'When the boy got off the podium, she assumed her rightful spot as champion. The crowd erupts with applause. THIS is the way. Congrats to Reese Hogan, the REAL champ!' she wrote on X.
Hernandez dominated the CIF Southern Section Finals last Saturday, winning both the triple jump by over four feet and claiming the long jump title while finishing seventh in high jump.
The victories follow a pattern of trans athlete's overwhelming success against biological female competitors.
Just weeks earlier, a trans high-school athlete won a girls' triple jump and long jump event at the Roosevelt Invitational in California in March.
And weeks before that, Hernandez sparked outrage by winning the triple jump at Ontario Relays by a staggering eight feet over the runner-up.
Hernandez's participation has sparked anger on social media.
Jennifer Sey, founder of the organization XX-XY - which vows 'to protect women's sports and spaces' - shared video of Hernandez on X and wrote: 'This guy won the girls long jump and triple jump in a CA track meet over the weekend. He won the triple jump by 8ft. He's really crushing it!'
Collin Rugg, the co-owner of Trending Politics, also shared footage of Hernandez competing and said: 'Transgender high school track star demolishes the female competition by *8 feet* in the triple jump at a track meet in California.
'Wow, what an accomplishment. I'm sure it had nothing to do with being a biological male. AB Hernandez says they plan to win 1st place in the state of California for the triple jump.'
Similar incidents have occurred in other states this month.
In Illinois, parents expressed 'shock' and 'disbelief' after a transgender middle school athlete reportedly won three events against seventh-grade girls.
It's alleged that the transgender pupil won three events while competing against seventh-grade girls during the Naperville School District 203 meet.
The beaten kids were said to be 'distraught' and 'devastated' and the controversy prompted fury among families.
'I was actually shocked. At first, I couldn't believe it,' Marie Davis told KBCD . 'I started talking to other parents, and it's like, is this really happening?'
Doug Krein added: 'It's pretty upsetting to see your kid distraught out there trying to do her best and doesn't really have a shot.'
Krein's 12-year-old daughter would have won a 200m medal if not for the transgender athlete.
He told Fox News: 'My job as a parent is to advocate for my daughter and protect her. And the hardest thing is trying to tell her why she lost to a boy in seventh grade... it's like they're trying to erase women's sports. Erase women.'

World No 1 golfer Scottie Scheffler suffers huge blow ahead of PGA Tour playoff event
Scottie Scheffler will be without his caddie Ted Scott when he tees it up at this week's BMW Championship in a huge blow for golf's world No 1. Scott has been a mainstay in Scheffler's professional career for the past four years, but a family emergency last weekend saw him rush back to his home in Louisiana. The change in circumstance led to Scheffler turning to a chaplain and close friend to help him out with the final round of the FedEx St Jude on Sunday, and now it'll be all change again this week. The recent Open champion and four-time major winner will have Mike Cromie on his bag instead, as he continues his foray into the FedEx Cup playoffs. Scott's personal matter has so far not yet been disclosed, but it is expected Scheffler will field questions about his close friend's absence as the week progresses. The world No 1 is due to begin the tournament on Thursday at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta, where he will be paired with Rory McIlroy for the first round of the penultimate tournament of the season. Cromie has served as the caddie for six-time PGA Tour winner Chris Kirk in the past. Kirk, however, fell short of qualifying for the BMW Championship at 51st in the FedExCup rankings - the top 50 advanced to this week's event. It could turn into a lucrative weekend for the stand-in caddie if Scheffler is in his usual imperious form... form that has earned Scott an eye-watering amount over the past few years. The American's regular wins have even seen Scott earn more than most players on the PGA Tour, as he takes home an estimated 10% of Scheffler's prize money. This season he has already banked $20.36m in tournament prize money, giving Scott just over $2m for himself. On top of that, Scheffler has another $23m in bonus money - but it is unclear how much commission his caddie is on when it comes to that.

Brady Singer throws six shutout innings in Reds' win over Phillies
August 13 - Brady Singer allowed three hits over six shutout innings while Miguel Andujar homered for the second time in three games to lead the Cincinnati Reds to a 6-1 win over the visiting Philadelphia Phillies Tuesday night. Spencer Steer doubled and drove in three runs and Jose Trevino went 2-for-4 and drove in two as the Reds won for the third time in four games, extending their MLB-best streak of not being swept this season to 39 series. With heavy rain falling, Bryce Harper launched a towering homer, his 18th, to the seats in right with two outs in the ninth to end the shutout bid. The Phillies had their four-game win streak snapped and lost for the first time in five tries on their 10-game, three-city road trip. For the second straight night, a Cincinnati starter retired the first 12 Philadelphia batters, as Singer was perfect through four innings, striking out five in the process. Like Monday night, the first batter of the fifth ended the run at perfection when Nick Castellanos hit a one-hopper that Elly De La Cruz played to the side and let carom off his glove for what was ruled a base hit. But Castellanos was erased on an inning-ending double play off the bat of Edmundo Sosa, as Singer faced the minimum of 15 batters through five. Unlike the night before with Andrew Abbott, the Reds provided a bit more offensive support, taking a 2-0 lead in the third on a two-run double from Steer off Phillies starter Ranger Suarez (8-6), who took the loss. The Reds added another in the fourth when Miguel Andujar lined an 81mph slider from Suarez down the left field line and just inside the foul pole for his eighth homer of the season and second with the Reds after he was acquired from the Athletics at the trade deadline. Suarez was tagged for six runs on a season-high ten hits over 5 1/3 innings, suffering his fourth loss in six starts after starting the season 7-2. Singer (10-9) worked around a two-out single from Rafael Marchan followed with a double by Trea Turner in the sixth to preserve his run-free start. After the Reds put up three runs in the bottom of the sixth, the tarp was put on the infield just before thunder and rain rolled through the area. Following a brief 28-minute rain delay, Graham Ashcraft started the seventh in relief of Singer. -Field Level Media

Jose Ramirez homers twice, leads Guardians over Marlins
August 13 - Jose Ramirez hit two solo homers, including the go-ahead blast in the eighth inning off Calvin Faucher, as the Cleveland Guardians edged the visiting Miami Marlins 4-3 in their three-game series opener Tuesday night. The seven-time All-Star third baseman also went deep against Janson Junk in the first inning to break the franchise record with his 27th multi-homer game. Hall of Famer Jim Thome and Albert Belle formerly shared the mark. Ramirez has 25 homers on the season, while Kyle Manzardo went deep for the third time in two games and has 21. Manzardo has five homers and 13 RBIs in his last 16 contests. Cade Smith (5-4) retired all four batters he faced to earn the victory. Ramirez finished 3-for-4, leading the Guardians to their 10th win in 12 games since July 29. They entered the evening one game behind the New York Yankees for the final American League wild-card berth. Marlins co-closer Calvin Faucher (3-3) took the loss, giving up one run in one inning. Junk allowed three runs on six hits in five innings, striking out two without a walk. Miami is 2-7 since reaching the .500 mark. The Marlins trailed 3-0 heading into the fifth, when they scored three times off starter Logan Allen. Dane Myers singled to left to bring home Xavier Edwards, and Otto Lopez scored on Steven Kwan's throwing error as he attempted to throw him out at third. Rookie Heriberto Hernandez doubled in Myers for the tying run, giving him five RBIs in his last five games. Allen worked five innings, giving up three runs (two earned) on four hits. The left-hander struck out five and walked four. Kwan threw out Eric Wagaman at home plate in the sixth for his 11th outfield assist, which leads the majors. --Field Level Media
