According to a teammate of University of Pennsylvania swimmer Lia Thomas, UPenn athletics or the university might sue anyone who prohibited Thomas, formerly known as Will Thomas, from competing in the upcoming NCAA women’s swimming championship.
One of Thomas’ teammates told Fox News, “I have a feeling that if USA Swimming changes their rules, they will be filing a lawsuit for Lia to swim, but they wouldn’t do that for us.”
The teammate told Fox News that she does not know if the university or if Penn athletics would file the lawsuit but said she “heard that from some of the administrators.”
“They’re just proving, once again, that they don’t actually care about their women athletes,” she continued. “They say that they care and that they’re here for our emotions, but why do we have to be gracious losers? … Who are you to tell me that I shouldn’t want to win because I do want to win. I’m swimming. I’m dedicating more than 20 hours a week to the sport.
