Lou Holtz Calls Out Organizations That Allow Men To Compete In Women's Sports: 'It's Crazy!'

Many people are afraid to speak out in the fight to protect women’s sports, but college football coaching legend Lou Holtz is not one of them.

Fifty-two years ago the landmark piece of legislation known as Title IX was passed. It was made into law to prevent sex-based discrimination in educational institutions that received 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," the legislation states.

One of the many things that this legislation ensured was that women would be able to have sports programs in colleges and universities. But thanks to the rise of transgenders in women’s sports both at the high school and university levels, women are now facing a crisis in the fairness of competition, in large part because of the Biden administration’s ineptitude in fixing it.

That has enraged Holtz, who took to X to post his displeasure with how women at all levels are often forced to compete against biological men.

"I was happy when Title IX came out," the 1988 national champion wrote. "But here we are, many years later, and now we can’t even ensure women competing against women. It’s crazy!"

That’s an understatement. For a variety of reasons, women should never have to compete against men, not the least of which is the inherent physical advantage men have.

Many people know this, but not everyone is willing to say anything about it. We can all learn a little bit from Holtz on how to combat this glaring cultural issue.
