Martina Navratilova explodes after Donald Trump rewards NFL s*x offender Lawrence Taylor with Presidential Fitness role (Image via Getty) Martina Navratilova expresses her anger after US President Donald Trump gave a key role to NFL legend Lawrence Taylor, who is a registered s*x offender and former drug user. On Thursday, July 31, 2025, Trump signed an executive order to bring back the Presidential Fitness Test at a public event held in Orlando, Florida. The program was once common in US schools but was stopped in 2012 during Barack Obama's presidency. To support the comeback, Trump picked several big athletes to join the President's Council on Sports, Fitness, and Nutrition, including WWE star Paul 'Triple H' Levesque and Lawrence Taylor. Martina Navratilova slams Donald Trump for picking Lawrence Taylor in government fitness team Lawrence Taylor is among the best football players in NFL history, but some people are angry about his position because of his previous felonies. Strong social voice and tennis legend Martina Navratilova took to social media to criticise Trump for this action. On the same day the announcement was made, Martina Navratilova reacted strongly online. She wrote on X (formerly Twitter): 'Nothing like hiring a s*x offender and a former drug abuser for this particular job…' A registered s*x offender, Taylor, who played for the New York Giants, was arrested in 2011 for engaging in sexual behavior with a minor.
