Barry Switzer, the coach of the Super Bowl champions, has made his stance on trans inclusion in women's sports clear.
Dan Dakich interviewed Switzer on OutKick's 'Don't @ Me with Dan Dakich' show.
Barry Switzer, a three-time college football national champion head coach and a Super Bowl winner with the Dallas Cowboys, expressed his stance on transgender participation in women's sports.
He’s not for it.
On OutKick's "Don't @ Me with Dan Dakich" on Thursday, the 86-year-old Arkansan was questioned about his stance on transgender women competing against biological females in sports.
What the hell. You think I have what? ... Hell yes. Hell yeah I don’t want their a-- in there. It doesn’t make sense," Switzer told Dakich. "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.
"I don't support that, and millions of people like me don't support it. Hundreds of millions of people like me don't support it. That's ridiculous that we have that."
In Switzer's time, coaches would have found it amusing to consider a transgender woman in the women's locker room.
"Today, we encounter unbelievable challenges that were different in our era. The situations we face are truly insane."
The interview between Switzer and Dakich will be released on YouTube this weekend.
The Cowboys won the 1996 Super Bowl, 27-17, after replacing Jimmy Johnson with Switzer before the 1995 season.
The Cowboys team included Hall of Famers Troy Aikman, Larry Allen, Charles Haley, Michael Irvin, Deion Sanders, and Emmitt Smith.
