“Defending men in women’s sports is the woke mind virus and/or another issue that requires therapy. Either way, it is so irrational,” Patrick stated in an Instagram post.
The spat between Biles and Gaines started when the Olympian went after Gaines for her comments about a transgender athlete that recently won a Minnesota state softball championship. The two have since gone back and forth attacking each other in a very public dispute.
