“I have to commend these two women for standing up for these women who, unfortunately, are losing so much of the success that they worked so hard for,” Arnolt said Thursday on then network’s “America’s Newsroom” program.

“As far as ESPN, I don’t really know what their plan is, as far as whether they talk to these women or address it on-air,” Arnolt continued. “I would hope that this would be something they would address, but up to this point, they remain completely mum on this topic, so I’m not sure exactly what happens.”

The ESPN anchors recently voiced their opinions after Gaines tweeted her criticism of a video featuring transgender swimmer and biological ale Lia Thomas. In the video, Thomas wore a shirt that read “Trans athletes belong in sports” and argued that “trans kids” would continue to “lose opportunities” unless there is a change in policy mandated by the Biden administration.

“Under the guise of competitive fairness? Are you really trying to say you would have won a national title against the men? Does it not break your heart to see women lose out on these opportunities? The Biden Admins proposed bill denies science, truth, and common sense,” Gaines noted in a post to accompany Thomas’ video.

“This take is selfish and shows an utter disregard for women,” Gaines continued. “The Biden Administration is actively and aggressively working to pass laws that erase decent and fair treatment for women in sports.”
