During the rise of Adolph Hitler in the 1930s, German pastors were saying then exactly what American church leaders are saying today, that politics doesn't belong in the Church.

In this final video, Riley Gaines explains to JDFI contributor Alison Centofante the incident that finally pushed her over the edge. After tying U of Penn’s Lia Thomas – a biological male swimmer on the women’s team – in the 200-yard freestyle at the 2022 NCAA Division 1 Women’s Swimming & Diving Championships, an NCAA official pulled her aside. Privately, he told Riley it had been decided that only Thomas would be allowed to hold the winning trophy for photographs.

In this reel, Riley Gaines describes how she watched in horror as Lia Thomas (formerly Will Thomas) began beating Olympic-grade female swimmers by body lengths, event after event, at the 2022 NCAA Division 1 Swimming and Diving Championships.

According to Riley Gaines, everyone (including coaches, other female competitors, and a few sportswriters) believed that, with the situation having been revealed, Will Thomas (a man with mediocre swimming ability and competing with women) would surely be stopped by the NCAA. Well, to Riley’s disbelief, the NCAA saw absolutely nothing wrong with Thomas’s participation, actually calling it “non-negotiable.”

Now ranking in third place in women’s swimming nationwide, Riley Gaines discovers that her main competitor in the path to a national championship in women’s swimming (Riley’s life-long goal) is the University of Pennsylvania’s (U of Penn) Lia Thomas. But in a bone-jarring twist, Miss Thomas is reported in a news article to be Will Thomas, who swam three years on U of Penn’s men’s team before deciding to switch to the women’s team.

Riley Gaines describes to Alison Centofante how she, other female swimmers, and coaches began to see red flags coming from the women’s swimming program at the University of Pennsylvania, as there was an individual there who was winning events – not by tenths of a second but rather by body lengths.
