Former Dallas Cowboys head coach Barry Switzer has voiced his opposition to transgender women's participation in women's sports. The 86-year-old Arkansas native, who led the Dallas Cowboys to a Super Bowl victory in the 1990s and was a three-time college football national champion, made his views clear during an appearance on OutKicks Don'tMe with Dan Dakich.
When asked if she supported transgender women competing against biological women in sports, Switzer responded emphatically. “Yeah, I don't want them in there. It doesn't make sense,” he said. He continued to express his frustration with the problem, saying, “It just bothers me. You know, I'm just a guy that if you ask if they belong, no, no, they don't. Not at all. I can't stand it and millions of people like me don't. Hundreds of millions of people like me don't support it. It's ridiculous that we have this.”
Switzer also reflected on his coaching days, suggesting that the idea of a transgender woman in the women's locker room would have been met with disbelief. “Coaches in my day would have laughed at the idea,” he said.
Switzer, who replaced Jimmy Johnson as head coach of the Dallas Cowboys prior to the 1995 season, led the team to a 12-4 record and a Super Bowl victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers in 1996. The team at the time it included Hall of Famers Troy. Aikman, Larry Allen, Charles Haley, Michael Irvin, Deion Sanders and Emmitt Smith.
The full interview between Switzer and Dakich will be posted on YouTube over the weekend.
