Legendary college football coach Lou Holtz rips trans participation in women’s sports: ‘Happy when Title IX came out’

Legendary college football coach Lou Holtz made his stance on transgender athlet♒es’ participation in women’s sport๊s very clear on Sunday.

Holtz fired off a post on X on 💛the a𝔉nniversary of Title IX.

“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!”

Title IX was originally published on June 23, 1972.

The 🎐law prohibits sex-ba💯sed discrimination in schools and other education programs that receive funding from the federal government.

“No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance,” Title IX stated.

Recently, the Biden administration unveiled new Title IX rules zeroing in on safeguarding LGBTQ+ students and changing the ways in which sexual harassment and assault claims are adjudicaℱted on campus.

The new rules stopped short on barring transgen༒der athletes from competing against females in women’s sports.

Last week, a US district court in Kentucky ordered the implementation of the Biden administration’s new Title IX protections halted after a W🐓est Virginia girl and a Christian Educators Association International sued over a transgender teen competing on a middle school team.

💮The new injunction applies to Ohio, Kentucky, Ten𒈔nessee, Indiana, Virginia and West Virginia.
