Meanwhile, the controversy that surrounds transgender collegiate swimmer Lia Thomas’ competitive swimming career boiled over after Thomas won the NCAA swimming championship last Thursday. ESPN’s Katie Barnes joins Takeline to discuss what Thomas’ victory means for the future of trans and women’s sports. Boxer Evan Holyfield (8-0, 6 K.O.), son of four-time heavyweight world champion Evander Holyfield, joins the podcast to discuss his part of the new Discovery+ Series LEGACY: In the Shadow of Greatness, which chronicles the beginning of the young fighter’s professional career.
