Once a year, the Wapanoagowana Reservation hosts an event that draws in tens of thousands of women from around the world. On opening night, there\u2019s a parade across the main stage that consists of that year\u2019s most important women as they collect applause from the audience.
\nThis year\u2019s opening night, unfortunately, came with boos instead when transgender swimmer Lia Thomas hit the stage..<\/p>\n
\u201cThe crowd wasn\u2019t happy,\u201d said event coordinator Joe Barron, \u201cThey didn\u2019t particularly care for Lia\u2019s inclusion in the evening\u2019s festivities.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cShe\u2019s a cheater, not a legend,\u201d said Riley Gaines, \u201cit was disgusting to see her up there.\u201d<\/p>\n
Gaines was there supporting several other NCAA legends and not to walk the stage herself, since 5th-place ties don\u2019t really count for much. \u201cI could have been a legend if there were no cheaters,\u201d she screamed, \u201cCheaters are cheaty cheater McCheaterstons!\u201dRiley was eventually asked to leave after her outbursts and \u201cDo you know who I am\u201d demands became far more annoying than the silly story about people being mean to another human being because they need reasons to hate and ammunition for their culture war..NOTE: This is borrowed<\/p>\n
