Tennis legend Martina Navratilova slammed USA Fencing after a female fencer took a knee when she refused to compete against a transgender athlete at an event over the weekend.

Stephanie Turner made the decision not to compete against trans athlete Redmond Sullivan at the Cherry Blossom Open in Maryland.

 

Instead, she decided to take a knee. The referee dealt Turner a black card, which represents the most severe penalty in the sport.

 

She told Fox News Digital she was then escorted out of the event and was made to sign a document acknowledging the penalty.

The moment went viral on social media on Wednesday, and Navratilova, who has become a champion of fairness in women’s sports, weighed in.
