Former ESPN host Samantha Ponder<\/a> made her stance on men playing women\u2019s and girls\u2019 sports clear on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Ponder appeared on Fox News Channel\u2019s “Saturday in America”<\/a> with Kayleigh McEnany and talked about her decision to speak out against transgender athletes participating in girls\u2019 and women\u2019s sports. The topic has been hotly debated in recent years with Lia Thomas winning an NCAA title in 2022, and now the Trump administration demanding U.S. schools to comply with Title IX.<\/p>\n

“There is no way in this country, especially in sports, you shouldn\u2019t be able to say on your social media accounts, \u2018I don\u2019t think men should be in women\u2019s sports.\u2019 This is something \u2013 I talk to athletes all the time, 99.9% of professional athletes, like we know this is ridiculous,” she said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“And the fact that we haven\u2019t been able to say it boldly \u2014 but with kindness and some humility \u2014 is insane. It is insane we\u2019ve gotten to this point in sports that we just can\u2019t be honest about what\u2019s true and not be a jerk about it but to say, \u2018Yeah, you\u2019re not putting a male in my daughter\u2019s locker room. It’s not happening.\u2019”<\/p>\n

EX-ESPN HOST REVEALS THE ‘REAL PROBLEM’ IN US AFTER GETTING ‘VICIOUS’ MESSAGES FOLLOWING CHARLIE KIRK’S DEATH<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Transgender athletes in girls\u2019 and women\u2019s sports continued to be a major topic in 2025. President Donald Trump signed an executive order barring men from competing in girls\u2019 and women\u2019s sports in February. Since then, several states have thumbed their nose at the order.<\/p>\n

Most notably, California high school sports<\/a> continue to be a hotbed of discussion as a transgender athlete has competed in track and field and girls\u2019 volleyball.<\/p>\n

The NCAA altered its gender-participation policy after Trump\u2019s order. However, women\u2019s sports activists have said the organization\u2019s change didn\u2019t go far enough.<\/p>\n
