NFL legend Brett Favre said it’s “absolutely insane” that President Donald Trump had to sign an executive order to keep men from competing in women’s sports.
In a video posted on X, the NFL Hall-of-Famer gave credit to Trump for signing an order banning trans-identifying males from competing in girls’ sports by threatening to rescind funds from schools that allow this, saying it “results in the endangerment, humiliation, and silencing of women and girls and deprives them of privacy,” as previously reported.
Favre said as the father of two daughters — who’ve advised him to not share everything on social media — this was an issue he thought it was important to speak out about and stand up for what he believes in.
“And it’s crazy because most of it is common sense and to think we’re having a discussion that our president has to sign (an executive order) to keep men out of women’s sports is absolutely insane,” the legendary QB said.
Here’s a few reasons why I think it was important to speak up for @realDonaldTrump needing to sign an executive order to keep men and out of women’s sports and kudos to @Riley_Gaines_ for standing her ground. pic.twitter.com/oLLvFUxhXp

“But that’s the world we’re in right now,” he added. “We bought ourselves some time in the next four years. We’ll see how that plays out. But the common sense part of our country and the decisions that are being made, right now, are becoming more stable and back to the norm.”
“I feel like the more we speak up and back common sense thinking, the better off we’re gonna be,” Favre concluded.
Favre captioned his post explaining why he needed to speak up after Trump signed the executive order and gave credit to outspoken women’s sports advocates like Riley Gaines for “standing her ground.”
The Super Bowl-winning QB previously spoke out against transgenderism and the radical activists pushing it, calling it “wrong” that a trans-identifying man can use a women’s bathroom.
