Aaron Rodgers has been one of the controversial athletes over the past decade. However, most of his off-the-field issues have revolved around his opinion and the things he likes to do in his free time.
Now he is taking a side in a much more controversial issue.
“Gonna Let Men Do It?” Aaron Rodgers Takes Shocking Side In Transgender Athletes Controversy
Aaron Rodgers has never been afraid to speak his mind on hot-button issues, and he spoke on transgender athletes again this week:
One of the more viral stories is of Luce Allen. The 18-year-old male-born student who identifies as female is still competing against naturally born girls, despite President Trump’s executive order on single-sex sports and a gender policy.
Last week, Allen took first place in the women’s 200m race at a high school track meet in Pennsylvania.
Just this week, female athlete Reese Hogan went viral when she posed on the first-place podium after coming in second place to a transgender athlete who was competing against girls.
California high school junior AB Hernandez, a transgender athlete, won CIF titles in the girls’ long jump and triple jump at the Southern Section finals. Hernandez has been the center of storylines during the past two weeks of the CIF Southern Section high school track and field postseason.
Aaron Rodgers, who is from California, doesn’t believe transgender women should be allowed to compete in sports against biological females.
The 41-year-old NFL player made an appearance on the Joe Rogan Experience, and he made it clear that “the trans woman movement is actually anti-woman,” clarifying that he meant “when it comes to sports.”
“You’re not seeing trans men dominating anything,” he said. “It’s because there’s a biological difference.”
Joe Rogan added that he agreed “100%,” saying “it’s not bigoted to say that.”
“If you’re a trans man, now you have to take testosterone, which is banned. You can’t take it, so are you going to let them take it, and you won’t let older athletes take it? That sounds crazy. That doesn’t make any sense. So if you get like a 39-year-old athlete who has low testosterone, you won’t let him take it, but you let a woman take it to become a man like shut the f–k up,” Joe went on, adding “chromosomes, that’s it, double XX and XY.”
“Way too much common sense there, Joe,” Aaron agreed.
“The people who you’re asking those questions…whether or not there’s a decided advantage can’t even define what a woman is,” Aaron went on to say.
