Tennis legend Martina Navratilova hates how ‘Democrats totally failed’
on protecting women’s sports

Tennis legend Martina Navratilova criticized Democrats on Wednesday
after President Trump signed an executive order to protect girls and
women’s sports.

Trump signed the “No Men in Women’s Sports” executive order from the
East Room of the White House.

The order gave federal agencies the power to ensure that entities
receiving federal funding abide by original Title IX standards.

Navratilova, a lifelong Democrat who has championed fairness in women’s sports, ridiculed the other side of the aisle for failing to do what the president did.

“I hate that the Democrats totally failed women and girls on this very
clear issue of women’s sports being for females only,” she wrote in a
post on X.

It is not the first time Navratilova criticized the political party for
not doing more to protect women’s sports.

She expressed her frustration last month when the House of
Representatives passed the Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act.

Only two Democrats voted with Republicans on the bill.
