Throughout the row surrounding transgender athletes being involved in women's sports, Martina Navratilova has been vocally and unequivocally against it and continues to share her disapproval on social media.
This time with a women's lacrosse coach at Oberlin College, who due to her stance on transgender athletes was reassigned to work in a no-contact role.
Kim Russell reshared a video to her personal social media surrounding swimmer Lia Thomas winning in an NCAA race over Emma Weyent with the caption reading:
"Congratulations to Emma Weyant, the real woman who won the NCAA 500-yard freestyle event."
She later confirmed that she had gone from her head coach role of five years to one filling out paperwork in the background.
"I have been taken out of the role of coach, which is what I've done for 27 years. I've been a P.E. teacher, a coach and a teacher of programs of wellness, yoga, all sorts of things, kickboxing…and [been] asked to take a role as employee wellness program manager, which would have no contact with students and be creating things - which is paperwork," she told "America's Newsroom," as per Fox News.
Navratilova expressed frustration on social media surrounding the news and said that Russell should be taking action against her employers.
