Riley Gaines, women’s-rights activist and critic of trans athletes in women’s sports, issued her own statement.
“I commend Boise State’s athletic department and everyone involved in the decision to forfeit their match against undefeated San Jose State,” it read. “Some principles transcend winning on the court, and the safety and well-being of female athletes is one of them.
