Former Heisman Trophy winner Tim Tebow has come out in favor of “fairness” in women’s sports amid the nation’s debate over men competing alongside women.
Speaking on OutKick’s Don’t @ Me with Dan Dakich, Tebow had been asked about Riley Gaines and Paul Scanlan’s ongoing fight to keep transgenders from competing in women’s sports.
“I had the opportunity at Florida to love watching our teams compete and love supporting our girls and love supporting their competitiveness,” he said. “I just believe in fairness and I love being able to watch, whether it was the soccer teams, the softball teams, the lacrosse teams, the gymnastics teams, the competition.”
“So many of those girls work so hard to be able to compete and be their best and I love giving them a chance to compete in a fair way so that they can strive to be their best, like all of us,” he added.
Tebow said he wants all girls to be given the chance to be their best without interference.

“Even in the great state of [Texas], protestors have tried to find a way to smear the celebration of Governor Abbott signing SB 15, which protects female collegiate athletics. But they can’t,” Gaines told Fox News. “Today is a huge win, and Gov. Abbott’s leadership is foundational, and I’m hopeful more states will follow suit.”
Gaines said that leftists resorted to throwing bottles and spitting on people.
“Bottles are being thrown, protestors are spitting in people’s faces, profanity is being yelled at children. Law enforcement has stepped in and provided protection,” she said.

Independent Women’s Network’s Austin chapter leader Michelle Evans confirmed to Fox News that leftists assaulted women’s activists at the signing.
“It was — I guess the best word to describe them was they were rabid,” said Evans.
“When I turned around to go back inside of the building, that’s when somebody threw water on me,” Evans recalled. “Somebody told me they know where I fucking live. There was somebody that got in front of me to try to physically block me from going back inside and pushed her body up against mine. Somebody hit my arm, and then someone — a woman in a pink ski mask and sunglasses — spit into my open eye,” Evans added.
