Brett Favre Speaks on Transgender Athlete Laurel Hubbard:, ‘It’s Not Fair’.
Brett Favre has spoken out in opposition of transgender weightlifter Laurel Hubbard.
The NFL Hall of Fame quarterback made his remarks during a recent episode of his podcast, ‘Boiling with Favre.’ .
According to Favre, Hubbard should not be allowed to compete in the 2021 Tokyo Games because it’s “unfair.”.
He then went on to claim he has “no problem” with transgender people, while also repeatedly referring to Hubbard by the incorrect gender.
It's a man competing as a woman… That’s unfair!
It's not fair for a man, even if this person wants to be a woman or feels compelled — if you want to become the opposite sex, that's fine.
I got no problem with it.
But you can't compete against — males cannot compete against females, Brett Favre, via ‘Boiling with Favre’.
Favre finished his rant by saying that he would be “beside [himself]” if he were a “true female” that lost to Hubbard.
.
If I was a true female — I can't believe I'm saying that — and I was competing in weightlifting and lost to this person, I would be beside myself, Brett Favre, via ‘Boiling with Favre’.
43-year-old Hubbard is the first transgender woman to qualify for the Olympics.

She will compete on New Zealand’s weightlifting team with the full support of the country’s Olympic Committee.

I am grateful and humbled by the kindness and support that has been given to me by so many New Zealanders, Laurel Hubbard, via Blaze Media
