University of South Carolina coach Dawn Staley isn't afraid of controversy.
University of South Carolina women’s basketball coach Dawn Staley isn’t afraid of controversy. The leader of the undefeated Gamecocks said she’d welcome more transgender athletes in women’s sports, even though her message may cause distractions.
“If you consider yourself a woman and you want to play sports … you should be able to play,” the two-time national champion said Saturday. “So now the barnstormer people are going to flood my timeline and be a distraction to me on one of the biggest days of our game, and I’m OK with that.” “I understand it’s a topic that people are interested in,” Bluder said. “But today my focus is on the game tomorrow … But I know it’s an important issue for another time.”
