If you haven’t already heard, transgender athlete Laurel Hubbard, a biological man, is approved to compete at this year’s olympic games for New Zealand.
While many cowardly sports personalities pretend this is totally normal, at least one legendary NFL player says enough is enough.
Former Hall of Fame quarterback Brett Favre is calling the inclusion of a biological male in the women’s division of this year’s olympics “unfair.”
Thank God some sensible people in the world of sports are calling out the rediculousness of transgender athletes competing against women.
Favre was very clear when discussing the subject on his podcast, saying:
“It’s a man competing as a woman. That’s unfair.”
Favre continued:
“If I was a true female — I can’t believe I’m saying that — and I was competing in weightlifting and lost to this person, I would be beside myself,”
Our pals at the Daily Wire with more on Brett Favre's use of common sense:
Football legend Brett Favre blasted the Olympics for allowing biologically male transgender athletes to compete in women’s sports.
Favre made the comments in relation to the announcement earlier this week of former men’s weightlifter Laurel Hubbard being permitted to compete in the upcoming Olympic Games against biologically female competitors. Hubbard’s representation of New Zealand makes the weightlifter the first openly transgender athlete at the Games.
“It’s a man competing as a woman,” Favre said on his podcast, Fox News reported. He added: “That’s unfair.”
“If I was a true female — I can’t believe I’m saying that — and I was competing in weightlifting and lost to this person, I would be beside myself,” said Favre.
“It’s not fair for a man, even if this person wants to be a woman or feels compelled — if you want to become the opposite sex, that’s fine. I got no problem with it. But you can’t compete against — males cannot compete against females,” he said.
More on what Favre had to say about biological men in women's sports from The Blaze:
During a recent episode on his podcast, "Bolling with Favre," the Green Bay Packers legend said that Hubbard is masquerading as a woman in order to compete in women's Olympic sports.
"It's a man competing as a woman." he insisted. "That's unfair! It's not fair for a man, even if this person wants to be a woman or feels compelled — if you want to become the opposite sex, that's fine. I got no problem with it. But you can't compete against — males cannot compete against females."
Favre added, "If I was a true female — I can't believe I'm saying that — and I was competing in weightlifting and lost to this person, I would be beside myself."
Hubbard, 43, is the first transgender woman to qualify for the Olympics and will compete on New Zealand's weightlifting team in the super heavyweight 87-kg category.
Favre is far from alone in his belief that women's sports should be protected from biological men.
