NFL Hall of Famer Brett Favre made his stance clear on a bill being pushed through Congress that would keep transgender athletes out of women’s and girls’ sports.

Favre posted the X Friday, retweeting a Pakinomist interview with Sage Steele and Riley Gaines crediting Sen. Tommy Tuberville, R-Ala., with introducing the Women and Girls in Sports Protection Act in an effort to keep transgender athletes out of women’s sports nationwide.

“Good for the officials trying to fix this. There is a clear biological difference between men and women,” Favre said in his caption of the video.

Tuberville’s measure would sustain which Section IX deals with gender as “recognized solely based on a person’s reproductive biology and genetics at birth” and does not adapt it to apply to gender identity. It would ban federal funding from athletic programs that allow biological males to participate in women’s and girls’ sports.

This would apply to biological men and boys who identify as transgender and seek to participate in events and leagues for women and girls.

The measure is co-sponsored by 23 Republican senators.

This is not the first time Favre has weighed in on the issue of transgender athletes in women’s sports. The former NFL quarterback spoke out against New Zealand’s transgender weightlifter, Laurel Hubbard, who became the first transgender woman to qualify for the 2021 Olympics.

Hubbard competed in men’s events before coming out as transgender in 2013.

“It’s a man competing as a woman,” Favre said in an episode of his podcast at the time, which has now been discontinued. “It’s unfair. It’s not fair to a man, even if that person wants to be a woman or feels forced. If you want to be the opposite sex, that’s fine. I have no problem with that. But you can’t compete against… men cannot compete against women.

“If I was a real woman — I can’t believe I’m saying that — and I competed in weightlifting and lost to this person, I’d be beside myself.”

In that podcast episode, Favre also spoke out against transgender BMX rider Chelsea Wolfe, who was chosen as an alternate for Team USA’s BMX freestyle event. Wolfe was accused of talking about burning an American flag on the medal podium in a social media post, Pakinomist Digital previously reported.

Favre said Wolfe should not be allowed to compete.

“I didn’t want her to compete in my Olympics. Compete for someone else,” Favre said. “To say that is such a blow to our country. I can’t believe this person can be allowed to run for our country.

“She should be banned.”

Favre has previously worked with members of the LGBTQ community, including gay ex-NFL player Esera Tuaolo. Favre appeared on Tuaolo’s podcast in 2020 to discuss head trauma from playing football.

However, Favre was also accused by some of exhibiting anti-transgender behavior during the 2015 ESPY Awards. During the show, Caitlyn Jenner took the stage to receive the Arthur Ashe Award for Courage, and Favre was seen slowly clapping. The nature of Favre’s slow pat drew backlash from some with pro-LGBTQ beliefs on social media.

But polls today show that the majority of Americans oppose the inclusion of transgender people in women’s sports, which was a central campaign issue for Donald Trump and other Republicans in the last cycle.

Nearly 70% of Americans say biological males should not be allowed to compete in women’s sports, according to a Gallup poll last year.

In June, a survey conducted by NORC at the University of Chicago asked respondents to consider whether transgender athletes of either sex should be allowed to participate in sports leagues that correspond to their preferred gender identity rather than their biological sex.

65 percent answered that it should never or rarely be allowed. When respondents were asked specifically about adult transgender female athletes competing in women’s sports, 69% opposed it.

ONE national exit poll conducted by the Concerned Women for America (CWA) Legislative Action Committee found that 70% of moderate voters viewed the issue as “Donald Trump’s opposition to transgender boys and men who play girls’ and women’s sports, and transgender boys and men who use girls’ and women’s bathrooms,” just as important to them.

And 6% said it was the most important issue of all, while 44% said it was “very important.”
