Summary

USA Fencing disqualified a female competitor from a women’s tournament because the female refused to compete against a male.  It’s still happening. But this story could be an important milestone in the fight for fairness in women’s sports. Michele Tafoya is a four-time Emmy award-winning sportscaster turned political and cultural commentator. Record-setting, four-time Sports Emmy Award winner Michele Tafoya worked her final NBC Sunday Night Football game at Super Bowl LVI on February 13, 2022, her fifth Super Bowl. She retired from sportscasting the following day. In total, she covered 327 games — the most national primetime TV games (regular + postseason) for an NFL sideline reporter.
