You know Payton McNabb. She is the young lady who was bashed so hard with a volleyball hit by a male player that she got seriously hurt.

Here is John Oliver going after her. She’s a young girl and John Oliver is attacking her! 1/

Seriously, can we all stop and appreciate the situation here. John Oliver is minimizing what happened to her. He can’t address the issue that having men in women’s sports is dangerous, so he belittles a young girl, a teenager at the time, who was seriously injured by a boy. 2/

She did nothing but GET HURT and has to shame her on his show.

This is so low, folks. So down and dirty. He is putting her in danger to push an ideology that is indefensible on its own terms. 3/

You’re going to ask how he is putting her danger. He’s doing it by implying that she is making too big a deal out of being badly hurt and implying that bc of her, poor little boys won’t be able to play sports. Which isn’t true anyway. 4/

This is just like the Nick Sandmann situation where the media went after a kid who did nothing wrong.

Payton’s mom @PamelaMcNabb22 is on X and could really use your support. John Oliver just set a whole bunch of dangerous folks on her daughter. 5/

When there are extremely violent people out there, it’s reprehensible to do such an irresponsible piece. About a young lady!!!

This is so bad. He has crossed a line he can’t come back from.
