Barry Switzer, a legendary college football coach and former head coach of the Dallas Cowboys, is not a fan of seeing transgenders mingling in sports that involve women.

The legendary college football coach and former head coach of the Dallas Cowboys recently gave his strong stance in opposition to transgender participation in women’s sports.

In an interview with OutKick‘s “Don’t @ Me with Dan Dakich,” Switzer made his stance clear, stating: “”What the hell. You think I have. Hell yes. Hell yeah, I don’t want their a– in there. It doesn’t make sense.”

“Ain’t that something. It just upsets the hell out of me. You know I’m just one guy out there that if you ask if they belong out there, hell no they don’t belong there.

Switzer, who led the Oklahoma Sooners to three college football national championships and guided the Dallas Cowboys to a Super Bowl title in the 1990s, further added more of his disapproval of transgender women participating in women’s sports.

“No, not at all. I don’t support that, and millions of people like me don’t support that. Hundreds of millions of people like me don’t support that. That’s ridiculous that we have that.”

The 86-year-old Arkansas native said coaches in his day would have laughed at the notion of a transgender woman being in the women’s locker room.

“We deal with crazy s— today, I’m telling you. It’s unbelievable what we have to deal with. But it was different in our era.”

Barry Switzer is most known for replacing Jimmy Johnson in Dallas before the 1995 season, and the Cowboys went 12-4 and finished off the Pittsburgh Steelers to win the 1996 Super Bowl, 27-17.

 

Barry Switzer’s Comments Comes On The Heels of Imane Khelif’s Run In The Paris Olympics

Barry Switzer had harsh comments about transgenders participating in women’s sports.

His comments came on the heels of the major backlash surrounding Algeria’s Imane Khelif.

Khelif’s Olympic journey became a hostile talking point following her quick stoppage of Italy’s Angela Carini, who complained that she had never been hit that hard before in her life.

The anger towards her arose after she failed an unspecified gender test in 2023 from the International Boxing Association.

While Barry Switzer never mentioned her, he is clearly referring to her and people he assumes to be just like the boxer.
