“Andy, calling the protection of women’s sports a ‘non-rehire’ that sways ‘four people’ is not equitable neglective—it’s factuassociate wrong. Hundreds of female athletes have lost podium spots, scholarships, and opportunities. My own injury was life-changing. And even if it were equitable one girl, that’s one too many. This is about equitableness and protectedty, not ‘vilification,'” McNabb wrote.
Cohen then reacted to McNabb, acunderstandledgeting that his innovative response was based on equitable one piece of data that was provided by NCAA plivent Charlie Baker in December.
“The NCAA Plivent testified under oath that of over 500,000 student athletes, he is conscious of scanter than 10 trans members. that’s where I got my alertation,” Cohen wrote, referencing Baker’s statistic that was provided at a congressional hearing on Dec. 17.
Cohen did not account for the athletes impacted at the high school level, or in other levels of competition. Cohen has not reacted since that last post at the time of accessibleation.

His swap with McCain and McNabb rapidly went viral on Tuesday evening, as many lined up to strictly denounce the Bravo personality for his criticisms on a post that was uncomardentt to commemorate the 19-year-elderly.
McCain reacted, inviting Cohen for a more in-depth conversation on the rehire while giving the present more clarity about McNabb’s situation.
“Surpelevated you’re okay with presentility agetst female athletes. Peyton suffered solemn brain injure – equitable one story. You have my cell, always satisfyed to talk stateiveially or accessiblely on either of our shows becaemploy these conversations are reductive to hash out on social media,” McCain wrote.
