finally haley davidson comes in.or the daily mail on this, this open it piece. you wonder when you're doing this is anybody listening? somebody was. stuart changed this. he said as we navigate through the evolving landscape of sports -- is that so true -- it's critical to uphold the competitive integrity that is the cornerstone of women's sports. that's what i've been saying from the beginning and good for him. >> trace: haley davidson wrote this on instagram. people think i win by showing up, this is a slap in the face to all female athletes being told that any male with transition and beat them regardless of the life of hard work those women put in. you think you're attacking me but you're attacking and putting down all other female athletes. >> i don't agree. she also wrote this. you can scream at me, threaten me, throw insults at me, even ban me, but i will always get right back up and keep on fighting until the very end. hate and bigotry will never win. to me that's a little harsh. i have no problem with haley d

and when haley davidson did win, what it did was, it brought out more feedback from players on tour,d telling us that other players that they knew of weren't playing on the tour because of our gender policy guidelines. >> there will be those that ask, haley davidson won the tour event in january and then there was a big response, publicly and perhaps as well with some of -- with your players. there will be those that ask are you doing this because of the te backlash you got from haley winning an event. >> i appreciate that. i can guarantee this was not a knee jerk reaction to any outside forces. i just bought the tour a year ago. davidson provided a letter of eligibility from the lpga and usg a. it took time to educate myself on the process that they followed and took some time for myself to learn about this. >> stuart, previously you had stated your policy reflects the requirements or the policies of the lpga. you have relationship with the lpga as a feeder tour. what's your future with that organization? >> well, we hope to have fruitful discussion was the lpga. we have a great par

here's what haley davidson said on instagram after being banned because people shouldn't compete withis is what he said. you know what really bugs me? if people think i win by just showing up. this is a slap in the face to all female athletes being told any man can transition and beat them regardless of the hard work those women put in. you think you attacking me, but you're attacking all female athletes. will: i have no idea what that means. any dude can beat these girls, so i have to pax -- practice a little bit. and the fact that i have to practice just shows you how hard these girls have to work. [laughter] rachel: i thought what he was saying is you're assuming i can beat these girls which you're insulting these girls by assuming i can beat -- pete: that's basically it. apply the same thing to a sport like the wnba. you're putting down the amount of time that these women have put in the gym. these women have worked on their dribbling, their passing, their shooting, they're professional as. how dare you assume that lebron james could walk in and beat them. that's basically the tho

they've banned trans golfers from coming into the nxxt, there was a male, his name is haley davidson,e had won a tournament, i think he was second in the standings at some point. what are your thoughts on their move in. >> well, i think this is huge. nxxt would not have done in this without public pressure and public outrage which shows you how powerful we, the people are. and it really shows you how this is a uniting issue. i think the media and our elected officials, our government, they make seem very polarize toking like it's very divisive. but in reality, it is not. when we come together, when we unify, when -- when we stand in solidarity, that's how we advance. so i could not be more proud and really grateful of the decision the nxxt had. it makes it a lot hard or e for h hailey davidson to win a bid for the lpga tournament. rachel: you stood up when a lot of mothers weren't standing up for their daughters in sports. you were the voice of common sense, and you deserve a lot of credit for what we just saw happen in that golf tournament. you stood up and took those arrows early. b
