Charles Barkley Opposes Men Competing in Women’s Sports

News summary

Former NBA star Charles Barkley has firmly stated that men should not be allowed to compete against women in sports, calling anyone who disagrees "stupid." While Barkley expressed full support for the gay and transgender communities, he maintained that allowing biological men to play in women's sports is unequivocally wrong. He also voiced concerns about transgender medical treatments for children, suggesting that young people are not fully developed and should be cautious before making such decisions. Barkley's comments were made during an interview with OutKick's Dan Dakich, where the discussion was partly prompted by claims that Nike funded research on hormone replacement therapy's effects on transgender youth athletes, a study Nike later said was never initiated. Despite his strong stance, Barkley emphasized that his views are not meant to be hateful or controversial, but rather a straightforward opinion amidst ongoing debates about transgender participation in sports.
