A women’s Olympic boxing match between AImane Khelif of Algeria and Angela Carini of Italy has sparked some serious debate on social media which has included ESPN analyst Dan Orlovsky
Just 46 seconds into the match, Carini quit and avoided any type of handshakes with her opponent Khelif. Carini went on to say she stopped the fight due to a pain in her nose, but many, including Orlovsky, think something larger is at hand.
The rumor circling is that Khelif is a transgender woman despite having never identified as such. However, this rumor was enough for Orlovsky to make a tweet saying “Protect our daughter,” which was deleted but reposted on X.

Many online think that Orlovsky only deleted this tweet to save face and limit the backlash he was receiving.
