NFL Hall of Famer Brett Favre recently voiced his support for former President Donald Trump's executive order prohibiting biological males from competing in women's sports. Favre emphasized the importance of advocating for one's beliefs, even when facing criticism. He expressed his concern that such a discussion is even necessary, highlighting the order as a return to common sense.
Favre shared that his daughters sometimes advise him against expressing certain views online. While acknowledging the value of discretion, he believes in standing up for his convictions. He sees the executive order as a positive step towards restoring normalcy and believes that voicing support for common sense principles is crucial for a better future.
Trump's executive order empowers the federal government to penalize organizations receiving federal funding that deny female athletes fair opportunities. The NCAA subsequently revised its policy, barring biological males from women's teams while still permitting biological females to compete on men's teams. NCAA President Charlie Baker praised the executive order for establishing a clear national standard.
