Simone Biles took offense to OutKick contributor Riley Gaines calling out a Minnesota high school whose softball team won a state championship Friday with a transgender pitcher.Marissa Rothenberger, a transgender athlete, tossed a shutout to continue a dominant postseason and give Champlin Park High School a state championship.The Minnesota State High School League posted a photo of the team on social media after the game, and Gaines noted the comments on X were turned off.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM"To be expected when your star player is a boy," Gaines wrote.Biles, a seven-time Olympic gold medalist, saw the post and told Gaines she was "truly sick.""All of this campaigning because you lost a race. Straight up sore loser," Biles wrote to Gaines, who competed against trans swimmer Lia Thomas in 2022."You should be uplifting the trans community and perhaps finding a way to make sports inclusive OR creating a new avenue where trans feel safe in sports. Maybe a transgender category IN ALL sports!! But instead You bully them One things for sure is no one in sports is safe with you around!!!!!"In another post, Biles added, "bully someone your own size, which would ironically be a male.""This is actually so disappointing.

Men don't belong in women's sports and I say that with my full chest," Gaines responded.Gaines added in a separate post, "My take is the least controversial take on the planet. Simone Biles being a male-apologist at the expense of young girls dreams? Didnt have that on my bingo card.
