Tennis legend Martina Navratilova criticized Democrats after President Donald Trump signed an executive order to protect women’s sports. She has always supported fairness in female athletics.
Trump signed the “No Men in Women’s Sports” order at the White House. It gave federal agencies the power to enforce Title IX rules for groups receiving federal funds.
I hate that the democrats totally failed women and girls on this very clear issue of women’s sports being for females only.

Navratilova, a lifelong Democrat, was disappointed that her party did not take similar action. Last month, she also spoke out when only two Democrats supported the Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act.

Before Trump signed the order, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt urged the Senate to vote on the bill. She warned that executive orders can be overturned.

Martina Navratilova has never held back from criticizing Donald Trump. When he prepared to become president again, she quickly spoke out against him.
Well, Trump won. Fear and anger won. And a country that was born as a racist patriarchy proved beyond any reasonable doubt it still is a racist patriarchy. Not sure when this ceases to be true.

In his speech, Trump promised a “thrilling new era of national success.” He said big changes were coming to the nation.
At the Capitol, Vice President JD Vance took the oath first, read by Justice Brett Kavanaugh. Trump followed at noon, swearing on both his family bible and the one used by Abraham Lincoln in 1861.
