The “Protect College Sports Act" has a fatal flaw: It doesn’t protect women | Riley Gaines

I’ve stood on the starting block knowing the race was already rigged. I’ve touched the wall at the same time as a male competitor and been told to smile for the cameras. So when Congress names a bill the "Protect College Sports Act," I pay attention.

The Protect College Sports Act sounds great. Who wouldn’t want to protect college sports? But buried in dozens of pages about athlete compensation and coaching transitions is language that threatens existing state laws, including laws that protect fairness in women's sports.
