Megyn Kelly lashes out at sports columnist who hailed women's basketball coach ... trends now
Megyn Kelly has slammed USA Today sports columnist Nancy Armour, telling her to 'shut the f**k up' for voicing support for transgender women in sports.
In the latest episode of The Megyn Kelly Show, the podcaster condemned Armour for her stance on transgender athletes competing in women's sports.
'There’s this columnist over at USA Today, sports, Nancy Armour,' Kelly said, calling her a 'repeat violator of women’s rights'.

Armour recently hailed South Carolina Gamecocks head coach Dawn Staley as a 'national treasure' after she controversially claimed that transgender athletes 'should be able to play' in women's basketball.

'She got all of this fawning praise and money. And when she has a chance to do something for women coming up behind her, she pulls up the ladder and says play against the men. That’s what she just did there.'
The host then turned her criticism towards Armour, who tweeted after the game and praised
