Earlier this year, the Joe Biden administration and the Department of Education announced changes to Title IX to allow transgender women and girls the same protections as all other girls, including the ability to compete in sports. But one legendary college football coach is not at all happy with this change.
On Sunday morning, legendary Notre Dame Fighting Irish head coach Lou Holtz did not hold back from giving his true opinion on transgender women competing in women’s sports as he called it “crazy” to allow transgender women to compete against other women.
“I was happy when Title IX came out. But here we are, many years later, and now we can’t even ensure women competing against women. It’s crazy!” Holtz said in a post on X, the social media website that was formerly known as Twitter.
Needless to say, this controversial opinion led to a lot of reactions on social media.
Imagine caring for two seconds about this. What a miserable existence it must be. https://t.co/ft5lDmWfTn

I'm in a good place; my enjoyment is watching people lose their minds over the topics that affect 0.2%

Holtz is one of the most iconic college football coaches in memory as he led the Fighting Irish to a national championship during the 1988 season. Following his coaching career, he had a lengthy broadcast career as an analyst for ESPN.
Now, he appears to be using his platform to speak out against transgender athletes.
