When Megan Rapinoe joined the ESPN show “Sports Talk with Joe Barron,” she had no idea that Riley Gaines was also making an appearance. While the two didn’t meet face to face, they did stare each other down via Zoom.
“You’re a disgrace,” Gaines told Rapinoe, “You’re a traitor to your country.” The former soccer star got up immediately and left the interview.
Barron, who won the Men’s 10,000 Meter in Seoul in 1988, kept the segment rolling and had Ms. Gaines weigh in on several sports topics that now seem to revolve around the trans community.
