    While the Baltimore Ravens gear up for their preseason opener next week, some players are taking to the new recovery pool at The Castle. But there appears to be a little problem, and some players are calling on a local legend for help. In a social media video, the players seek Michael Phelps — who is a huge Ravens fan — to teach them how to swim. The 23-time Olympic gold medalist Maryland swimming phenom responded to that request Wednesday on Instagram, writing, “I got y’all! Let’s do it.”

    Controversy erupted when Lia Thomas, after two years of hormone therapy, became the first openly transgender athlete to win NCAA women’s swim championships, obliterating competitors by over 30 seconds. Critics cried foul, citing biological advantages: from Flo Jo’s 10.49s 100m legacy being 8,015th among men to Harvard research showing hormone blockers don’t erase muscle or bone gains. Under mounting pressure, the University of Pennsylvania agreed with the Trump Education Department to ban transgender athletes and vacate Thomas’s titles. In this unfiltered exposé, we unpack record-smashing times, scientific debates over fairness, Title IX enforcement, and the political fallout that’s splitting sports and the nation. Watch to get the real story behind the headlines and decide: Is this victory, or an epic injustice?
