Clay Travis On Fox: No One Defending NCAA's Transgender Policy, But Too Many Are Silent

It seems very few are in favor of the Penn transgender swimmer, who is setting all kinds of records in the women's competition after three years of NCAA swimming as a man. As our Joe Kinsey relayed, even the parents of the swimmer's teammates are lashing out.

"No one is actually defending this policy in the world of sports," Clay said during a Thursday guest spot on Fox News. "Not that I've seen in any way. What they're trying to do is pretend that this story doesn't exist. And I think that is the result of the fact that this is not controversial to most people in America.

"I bet 90 to 95 percent of people in America believe men should compete against men, and women should compete against women."

And now, Clay wonders, where are all the loudmouths -- such as women's soccer star Megan Rapinoe -- who have so many opinions on such a wide variety of issues, yet stay far away on matters such as this?

Or how about just the mainstream media, which seemingly has stopped real reporting to just start behaving like activists? Why are they largely ignoring and silent on this story?
