Skip Bayless rants about transgender athletes in girls' sport amid AB Hernandez controversy
Skip Bayless has backed calls for transgender athletes to be banned from girls' sport after AB Hernandez dominated rivals at the California high school track and field championships. Hernandez defied Donald Trump to take gold in the girls' high jump and triple jump over the weekend. The president previously signed an executive order entitled 'Keeping Men Out of Women's Sports'. Trump later called for Hernandez to be banned from the event. A masked pro-trans protestor was also arrested at the state championships after they were seen using a Progress Pride flag to attack a demonstrator. On Wednesday, former ESPN and Fox Sports host Bayless weighed in on the debate, insisting he is 'all for radical inclusivity' but that he must draw the line at transgender athletes competing against girls. 'It is not fair for an athlete born with male genetics to compete in female-only competition,' he said on his eponymous show. It is simply not right for a trans athlete to be allowed to compete against biological girls. I'm sorry, it's just ... not ... fair — Skip Bayless (@RealSkipBayless) June 4, 2025 The transgender athlete took gold in the girls' high jump and triple jump over the weekend 'Though there are obviously some exceptions, in general male genetics give a trans girl unfair advantage over competitors who were born female. 'I am all for radical inclusivity at the church I attend. This trans athlete would certainly be welcome at my church. 'But it is simply not right for this trans athlete to be allowed by the state of California to compete against biological girls. I'm sorry, it's just not fair. This isn't a political opinion, it's just my gut feeling as a sports fan.' Ahead of last week's event, the California Interscholastic Federation announced a new policy in response to Hernandez's recent success. The federation allowed an extra student to compete and medal in Hernandez's events. But Trump threatened to withhold 'large scale Federal Funding' and blasted California governor Gavin Newsom for 'ILLEGALLY (allowing) "MEN TO PLAY IN WOMEN'S SPORTS."' Protestors descended on the state finals to voice their outrage but Hernandez's victory was just one of a number of flashpoints across America over recent days. Another transgender athlete in Washington told critics to 'get a life' after they were booed for dominating a girl's track championship. In Oregon, meanwhile, two female high jumpers refused to stand alongside a transgender rival on the podium at the high school state championships. Rather than taking their spots on the podium, footage obtained by Fox News showed Alexa Anderson and Reese Eckard turning their backs to the crowd before being ushered away from the ceremony by an official. Anderson later revealed: 'We stepped off the podium in protest and, as you can see, the official kind of told us: "Hey, go over there, if you're not going to participate, get out of the photos". 'They asked us to move away from the medal stand, so when they took the photos, we weren't even in it at all.' She told Fox: 'It's unfair because biological males and biological females compete at such different levels that letting a biological male into our competition is taking up space and opportunities from all these hardworking women.'

EXCLUSIVE More signs all is not well in the Trippier household: England star Kieran heads on luxury family holiday to Turkey without wife Charlotte as pair 'still together but living separate lives'
Kieran Trippier and his wife have been on social media documenting their seemingly separate lives as the former England star posted about a family holiday abroad, while his wife revealed she was enjoying a 'blissful time' catching up with friends at home. The Newcastle full-back and his three children Jacob, eight, Esme, six, and Isla, three, were instead joined by his mum Eleanor on the sunshine break in Turkey. Trippier, 34, documented his trip on Instagram, posting a series of snaps, where he maintained his fitness by taking part in gruelling workouts alongside Newcastle teammate Jamaal Lascelles and Magpies assistant coach Jason Tindall. His son Jacob also joined in the sessions wearing a Newcastle training kit. He also posed up for cute snaps with his daughters at the luxurious resort. Charlotte, 35, meanwhile, took to her Instagram to boast about a week of 'true bliss' catching up with friends, spending time with her own mother and going on hikes. It's not the first time Trippier - who has also been spotted on a lads break in Ibiza - has posted getaways on his social media minus his wife, who last featured on his Instagram in December 2022. The ex-Spurs and Atletico Madrid footballer documented trips to see Father Christmas and Hertfordshire Zoo over the last year, where Charlotte has seemingly been absent. The couple - who do not follow each other on social media and have both ditched their wedding rings - sparked rumours about their marriage last summer when Charlotte did not take her place alongside fellow WAGs watching Trippier and his England teammates during the Euros in Germany. She cryptically posted in the group stages: 'Sooner or later you get over the s*** you swore you'd never get over and it's the best feeling in the world.' The message came after Trippier was photographed lifting up a blonde girl while with Newcastle teammates at a packed karaoke bar in 2023. He cuddled the woman before wrapping his arms around her and then picking her up by the bottom, while Charlotte was holidaying in Spain. It was reported Charlotte had relocated 200miles away from Trippier, who is based in the North East, and enrolled their children in an exclusive private school after moving into a £3.85million mansion in Cheshire last summer. The couple's £3.8million, six-bed mansion in Northumberland, was also reportedly put up for sale. Tripper last featured on Charlotte's Instagram in May last year when she posed on the pitch with her husband and three children at St James's Park on the final game of the 2023/24 season, writing 'Last game of the season which went far too quick.' The defender posted a snap from this season's final home game of the season last month, but this time Charlotte was absent, with his mum once again filling in the void. He captioned the snap: 'Final game of the season very proud as always to have my family there to watch and support.' Meanwhile, it was reported last month Trippier was 'stitched up' by a group of friends who spent close to £10,000 on a strip club bill - before putting his name on the tab. Reports claim the Newcastle star was not present at the club - however his name still appeared on the bill, which included 76 £100 tokens for personal dances. The bill was a staggering £9,663 and was believed to have been racked up by Trippier's friends who play for National League side Gateshead. A source told The Sun: ''Kieran has visited FYEO before but this bill was run up by some of the lads he knows at Gateshead. He wasn't there.
