Controversy Surrounds Nike's Choice of Paid Ambassador

Olympic silver medalist Sharron Davies called for a boycott of companies like Nike after the brand made transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney a paid ambassador. Davies criticized Mulvaney's promotion of sports bras, an item of clothing that "doesn’t apply" to Mulvaney, and pointed out Nike's treatment of athlete Allyson Felix when she became pregnant. The controversy comes amid a larger debate over transgender participation in sports, with former NCAA swimmer Riley Gaines recently physically assaulted after giving a speech about saving women's sports. Caitlin Jenner also announced the launch of the "Fairness First PAC" to "fight the radical gender ideology, put parental rights at the forefront of education, and keep boys out of women’s sports."
