Three-time All-American linebacker David Pollack spent over a decade as a college football analyst for ESPN before he was laid off this year. And now that he’s no longer employed by ESPN, it seems that he is not shy about broadcasting his political stances loudly on social media.
On Thursday morning, David Pollack decided to send a clear message about where he stands on the debate regarding transgender girls in sports, calling out “mediocre male athletes who compete as women.”
“WOMEN’S SPORTS IS NOT
A TRANSFER PORTAL FOR
MEDIOCRE MALE ATHLETES
WHO COMPETE AS WOMEN,” Pollack said in his post on X, the social media website that was formerly known as Twitter.

“If you’re a #GirlDad, there is no way you want your babygirl competing against men. It isn’t fair, nor is it physically and mentally healthy. #SaveWomensSports,” Pollack continued in his post.
It’s a pretty bold stance for Pollack to share on social media, and it obviously led to a lot of reactions.

There are like 100 transgender athletes who are in high school and college. The only mediocre male I can see is the one in the picture. The one who couldn’t handle the burden of a pro career and now targets a marginalized group who just want to live normal lives and compete. https://t.co/H2OY0erOF5

The transgender debate has become one of the hottest topics in politics in recent years and months. Thanks to this post from Pollack, we now know exactly where he stands on the whole debate.
