In the early days of his presidency, Donald Trump positioned himself as a supporter of women's sports, signing an executive order to penalize institutions that allowed trans women to compete. Despite this, his actions led to a misallocation of funds, ultimately harming female athletes. The sports landscape is evolving, particularly in college athletics, with a shift to a new economic model and a recent $2.8 billion settlement for athletes denied monetary compensation. This settlement aims to improve player earnings and relieve some of the pressures faced by coaches and institutions.
Trump's early efforts to position himself as an advocate for women's sports quickly deteriorated, with his policies ultimately diverting funding away from female athletes.
