    "body": "<p>Sophie Cunningham has become the newest face of America&#039;s battle over the future of women&#039;s sports after publicly defending the idea that female athletic competition should remain exclusively for biological women. <strong>Craig DeRoche, CEO of Family Policy Alliance</strong>, is available to discuss why this controversy has little to do with politics and everything to do with preserving fairness, safety, and the principles that gave women equal opportunities in athletics.</p><p> Last month, Cunningham&#039;s pointing gesture on a WNBA court went viral. Since then, she&#039;s been successfully riding a social media wave. However, now, she&#039;s finding herself at the center of a non-sensical culture controversy, over transgenders in sports. The message? Pointing is fine. Pointing out obvious truths about men and women is another ball game.</p><p><strong>ABOUT CRAIG DEROCHE&hellip;</strong></p><p>Craig DeRoche serves as President and CEO of Family Policy Alliance, the central hub of the pro-family movement, equipping citizens, churches, and elected officials to protect children, defend parents&rsquo; rights, and advance biblical values through civic engagement. Under Craig&rsquo;s leadership, FPA and its network of 40 state family policy councils have helped lead major national campaigns including Save Girls Sports, Help Not Harm, After Roe, and Let Parents Parent. </p>\n    <figure\n        class=\"release-content-image release-content-image--contained release-content-image--align-center\"\n    >\n        <a class=\"release-content-image__link\"\n           id=\"image-8272aef3-903b-430f-bc7d-c23078a2130c\"\n           href=\"https://specialguests.com/guests-topics/\"\n           data-id=\"8272aef3-903b-430f-bc7d-c23078a2130c\"\n           data-track=\"Story Image View\"\n           data-placement=\"content\"\n                            target=\"_blank\"\n                rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\n                       style=\"width: 13.89%\"\n        >\n            <img\n                class=\"release-content-image__image\"\n                src=\"https://cdn.uc.assets.prezly.com/8272aef3-903b-430f-bc7d-c23078a2130c/-/format/auto/\"\n                alt=\" \"\n                            >\n        </a>\n        <figcaption class=\"release-content-image__caption\"> </figcaption>\n    </figure>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">260 Union Square NW, Suite #208</p><p style=\"text-align: center\">Hickory, NC 28601 </p><p style=\"text-align: center\">&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p>",
