The former Pro Bowler, who played for the Cowboys, Chargers and Billis, was trending on social media after giving his take.
“I do have an issue with athletes who are transgendered trying to participate. Going from a transition of a man to a woman and now playing with women, and I will say that. Y’all can try to Dave Chapelle me all y’all want. I am very clear on this. You can be transgender. You can be the homie. But, I’ll be damned if a male at birth turned into a female and tries to compete against my daughters. She ain’t out there. We are out of there.
Transgender athletes competing in sports has, thus far, been rare. Perhaps the most high-profile occurrence came last year when Penn swimmer Lia Thomas won an NCAA title. “Don’t make this a human rights issue,” Wiley said. “This is a biological issue as simple as that. Trust me, I am a man. And, then I’m like why can’t the dudes who transition to women actually empower women and compete against the men.”
“I hate saying fair,” Wiley closed by saying. “But it’s just not even right. Forget fair. It’s not even right.”“Don’t regurgitate hate,” someone responded on Twitter. “There are so few transgendered athletes that it’s not even an issue.”
