Barry Switzer, a three-time college football national champion head coach who led the Dallas Cowboys to a Super Bowl title in the 1990s, made his stance clear on transgender participation in women’s sports.
He’s not for it.
The 86-year-old Arkansas native appeared on OutKick’s “Don’t @ Me with Dan Dakich” Thursday and was asked whether he supported transgender women competing against biological females in sports.

“What the hell. You think I have. … Hell yes. Hell yeah I don’t want their a– in there. It doesn’t make sense,” Switzer told Dakich. “Ain’t that something. It just upsets the hell out of me. You know I’m just one guy out there that if you ask if they belong out there, hell no they don’t belong there.
“No, not at all. I don’t support that, and millions of people like me don’t support that. Hundreds of millions of people like me don’t support that. That’s ridiculous that we have that.”
Switzer said coaches in his day would have laughed at the notion of a transgender woman being in the women’s locker room.
