Sidelined after \u2064such incidents, we hear a deafening silence rather than\u200c a resolute &#8216;Not in my daughter&#8217;s game.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2>The Call for Action<\/h2>\n<p>Former NCAA\u2062 swimmer Riley Gaines echoed the sentiment of many when \u200dshe expressed her disbelief\u2063 at the inaction of powerful figures, including \u200bfathers,\u2064 in \u2063the face of such\u200c dilemmas.<\/p>\n<h3>The \u2063Hard Questions<\/h3>\n<p>How many \u200bmore \u200dfemale athletes must endure injury \u200cbefore a father rises up to\u2063 assert, with unwavering determination, \u2062&#8221;No more&#8221;?

Shying away\u2064 from\u200d this responsibility is not an option when the well-being of female athletes is\u2064 at risk.
