On Friday, Reduxx<\/i> published an exclusive story<\/a> about female martial artists who refused to participate in a jiu-jitsu tournament after men took over the women\u2019s category. The news sparked intense backlash, and in less than 24 hours after the article was posted, the North American Grappling Association (NAGA) amended its rule book.<\/p>\n

The boycott worked. From now on at NAGA-sponsored matches, only females may compete in female events.<\/a><\/p>\n

Riley Gaines joined Charly Arnolt on OutKick the Morning<\/i><\/a> Monday to discuss the massive victory for women\u2019s sports.<\/p>\n

RILEY GAINES TAKES SHOT AT PROTESTERS, SAYS PUNCHES FROM ‘MEN IN DRESSES’ ‘DON’T HURT’<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

“It\u2019s huge. That is what we have needed to see,” Gaines said. “We have needed to see girls [fight] back and look what happens when you do. It took 21 hours \u2014 just 21 hours \u2014 for NAGA to change their policies and protect women\u2019s sports, prioritize fairness over inclusion.”<\/p>\n

Gaines praised both Reduxx<\/i> and the Independent Council on Women\u2019s\u00a0Sports (ICONS) for bringing attention to the issue.<\/p>\n

“Let\u2019s be real: I don\u2019t think a lot of people would know about this had someone not drawn attention to it because it\u2019s jiu-jitsu,” Riley said. “It\u2019s not a probably a high revenue, sport or anything like that. So a lot of people wouldn\u2019t have known about this.”<\/p>\n

But one small step for jiu-jitsu is one giant leap for womankind.<\/p>\n

“Those girls who boycotted did so effectively that they protected not just themselves, but generations of women to come,” Gaines said. “I just think that\u2019s how powerful it is.”<\/p>\n

Riley Gaines hopes the bravery of these athletes will inspire women across all sports to stand up for themselves, too.<\/p>\n

“When the gun goes off, you don\u2019t jump off the block,” she said. “That\u2019s how you say enough is enough and really communicate the message that we\u2019re not putting up with it.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
