NFL legend Brett Favre talked Wednesday about why he thought it was important to speak and defend President Donald Trump’s executive order that prevents biological men from women’s sports.
Trump signed the order in the eastern space of the White House last week. NCAA followed and complied with the order. Some states have bent the order and have since been exposed to title IX study from Trump’s education department.

Favre said in a video that was published Wednesday that his daughters would sometimes tell him to consider sending some of the things he does on X. He said there was something good in it but he found value in standing up for what he believes in.
“I think there’s something good about it when you’re quiet. But also there’s an element of standing up for what you believe in,” Favre said. “And it’s crazy because most of it is common sense and to believe that we have a discussion that our president has to sign (a executive order) to keep men out of women’s sports are absolutely insane.
“But that’s the world we’re in right now. We bought ourselves for some time for the next four years. We’ll see how it plays out. But the common sense of our country and the decisions made Right now, becomes more stable and back to the norm.

Trump’s order gave the authority of the federal government to punish federally funded units that “deprive women and girls of faith athletic opportunities.”
NCAA announced a political change one day later. “A student athlete assigned to a man at birth may not compete for a women’s team,” the new policy read. The new policy still allows biological women to compete for men’s teams.
