Some of the biggest celebs and athletes in the world are going scorched earth on Imane Khelif‘s participation in the Paris Olympics … after the Algerian boxer’s gender was called into question.
Loganand Jake Paulboth expressed their frustration with the Olympic Committee green-lighting Khelif’s eligibility — with LP describing it as “the purest form of evil.”
While Dillon Danisand Logan don’t like each other … they share similar opinions on this issue. Danis called the entire situation “despicable and unacceptable.”
Claressa Shields — a two-time Olympic gold medalist — said she was “heartbroken” for all the women boxers in the Olympics.
J.K. Rowling, who isn’t known for biting her tongue, once again didn’t hold back in expressing her opinion.
“The smirk of a male who’s knows he’s protected by a misogynist sporting establishment enjoying the distress of a woman he’s just punched in the head, and whose life’s ambition he’s just shattered,” Rowling wrote.
While Philadelphia Eagles RB Saquon Barkleydid not directly comment on the situation, he did retweet a statement from former college swimming star Riley Gaines (who competed against Lia Thomas), who said, “Men don’t belong in women’s sports.”
Plenty of others also spoke about the situation … including Elon Musk,Dez Bryant, Israel Adesanya and Sauce Gardner.It’s unclear when Khelif will be in action next … but the blowback against the Olympics decision doesn’t seem to be stopping anytime soon.
