<p>Adriana McLamb, a former Division I volleyball player and activist for girls&#8217; and women&#8217;s sports, hit back at U.S. soccer star <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/megan-rapinoe" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Megan Rapinoe</a>.</p>
<p>Rapinoe last year <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/megan-rapinoe-tells-girls-parents-to-suck-it-up-over-trans-athletes-your-kids-volleyball-team-just-isnt-that-important?%3Futm_source=twitter&amp;utm_medium=social&amp;utm_campaign=dwtwitter" target="_blank" rel="noopener">mocked girls&#8217; sports</a>, specifically girls&#8217; volleyball, while advocating for the inclusion of biological boys and men in female sports.</p>
<p>&#8220;I think it&#8217;s actually kind of absurd because we do care, especially as a volleyball player,&#8221; McLamb <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/former-college-volleyball-player-hits-back-soccer-star-megan-rapinoe-absurd-stance-trans-athletes" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> on Fox &amp; Friends, rebuffing Rapinoe&#8217;s commentary. &#8220;We very much do care about your daughter&#8217;s high school volleyball team.&#8221;</p>
<p>The athlete-turned-coach said that the inclusion of males in girls&#8217; and women&#8217;s sports is not only unfair, but proving to be &#8220;unsafe.&#8221; McLamb referenced high school athlete <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/i-still-suffer-high-school-volleyball-star-spiked-in-face-by-trans-player-describes-her-horrific-injuries" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Payton McNabb</a>, who was seriously hurt in a game when a biological male spiked the ball at her face.</p>
<p>&#8220;Especially in the case of Payton McNabb, who actually testified this week in North Carolina, who is severely concussed and injured by a biological man on the other side of a net,&#8221; McLamb said. &#8220;So we very much do care because this is not just about it being unfair for female athletes, but we&#8217;re getting to the point that&#8217;s unsafe.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I think it&#8217;s common sense,&#8221; the athlete continued. &#8220;In the sport of volleyball, [in] the position I play … the male side is an average of over six feet tall. I&#8217;m five-four. I would never be able to compete against a biological male.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;There&#8217;s reasons why the net is higher,&#8221; she added. &#8220;There&#8217;s a difference in baseball and softball fields. And there&#8217;s a reason Title IX was fought so, so hard for 50 years ago, so we had these separate categories, so we can all play on a fair playing field.&#8221;</p>
<p>Rapinoe <a href="https://time.com/6188583/megan-rapinoe-equal-pay-title-ix-transgender-sports-bans/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told</a> Time magazine last year that female athletes and their parents need to suck it up over advantages biologically male transgender athletes might have over girls.</p>

<p>The forward said she&#8217;s “100% supportive” of “trans inclusion” in girls&#8217; sports, dismissing concerns about fairness while emphasizing that people “need to understand that sports is not the most important thing in life.”</p>
<p>Rapinoe also argued that high-level sports are all about “regulation,” which the athlete apparently believes can erase trans athletes’ advantages. A recent <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/study-trans-women-still-have-athletic-advantage-over-women-after-year-of-hormone-therapy" target="_blank" rel="noopener">study</a> published in the <a href="https://bjsm.bmj.com/content/early/2020/11/06/bjsports-2020-102329.full?ijkey=yjlCzZVZFRDZzHz&amp;keytype=ref" target="_blank" rel="noopener">British Journal of Sports Medicine</a> suggests that’s not true.</p>
<p>“I would also encourage everyone out there who is afraid someone’s going to have an unfair advantage over their kid to really take a step back and think what are we actually talking about here,” the 37-year-old said. “We’re talking about people’s lives. I’m sorry, your kid’s high school volleyball team just isn’t that important.”</p>
