Barry Switzer, a former college football national champion head coach and Super Bowl-winning coach of the Dallas Cowboys, recently shared his thoughts on transgender inclusion in women’s sports. During an appearance on OutKick’s “Don’t @ Me with Dan Dakich,” Switzer expressed his strong opposition to transgender women competing against biological females in sports.
The 86-year-old coach made it clear that he does not support the idea of transgender women participating in women’s sports. He emphasized his stance by stating, “Hell no they don’t belong there. No, not at all. I don’t support that, and millions of people like me don’t support that.”
Switzer also reflected on how different things were during his coaching days, mentioning that coaches from his era would have found the concept of transgender women in the women’s locker room absurd. He expressed frustration at the current state of affairs, describing the challenges faced in dealing with such issues today.
The full interview between Switzer and Dakich is set to be released on YouTube over the weekend, offering more insights into the coach’s perspective on this controversial topic.
