Charles Barkley bluntly responded to the “stupid” supporters of transgender athletes as the NBA legend voiced his concerns on the controversial debate, saying he won’t change his mind.
“I’m gonna make this very simple for you, Dan. Men should not play sports against women,” Barkley said on Outkick’s “Don’t @ Me” with Dan Dakich Thursday. “I’m not gonna get into all the bulls–t that’s going on out here in the world today.”
The 62-year-old Hall of Famer’s views come as the sports world continues to debate the polarizing subject.

This is the first intelligent thing Chuck has ever said.

Such an obvious, commonsense viewpoint supposedly shared by approximately 80% of the country, yet it sounds refreshing. Thank you, Charles Barkley.

Stopping men from playing women in sports and permanently extending Trump's tax cuts. Democrats have a talent for picking the wrong side of 80/20 issues.

This stupid idiot is right about something at least once a year, and that's giving him a lot. The next headline for Charles will be for some liberal garbage that he spews. He's all over the place; ignore him.

The only way to stop these "men or boy" from playing in women's sports is to call them out individually.
They are all punks that could not make it playing against other men/boys.

Good. Now let's see if ESPN's Stephen Smith is willing to say it, too. Or maybe he already has.

Good for Charles. He doesn't pull this punch. Plus his AI commercials are hilarious.

Wafflin' Charles Barkley. Hey Chuck! What ever happened to you punching black Trump supporters in the face? Then smugly stating you'd bail yourself out of jail and go celebrate? I'd bet some money there are black Trump supporters out there who don't want men in women's sports!
So what'll it be Chuck? You gonna support President Trump's position on this? Or you gonna change your mind on men in women's sports because Trump's pushing it, and start punching black Trump supporters in the face?

I totally don't understand why we don't just create a new category called Other. These trans people claim they just wanna play and there's no category for them. So, fine. Give them a new category so they can play against others with similar gender dysphoria. Winning an event that is easily achievable or that requires little effort doesn't have much impact. If they are true athletes, they know that the tougher the struggle the sweeter the victory.
Men, Women, Other. Sounds good to me.

Okay folks...what exactly is the reason for the democrats supporting men in women's sports....I have tried to understand their motives....democrats are always looking for votes with certain groups...sooooo then if 5% of the population are trans...where's the voting power base in that....the lost Black men's vote...and the statue in Times Square didn't connect with black women...so that vote is gone...and tampon tim didn't connect with white macho men...so?????...OMG...that's why ole Joe is out there....they are desperate....

On the right side of this issue. He's often not on the right side.

It's called misogyny. Women receive no benefit from being beaten by males. Aside from the lifelong physical and neurological damage female victims have been left with by mediocre biological male athletes, there's the radical notion that these self-selected (big red flag) men are entitled to dress, undress, and shower WITH women. Men with the capacity to identify with women wouldn't be demanding access to their private spaces. They would understand that feelings of fear and humiliation come to women put in unnatural situations, such as having men with the "right" to watch them in their showers.

He, she, it. I propose we call the 3rd category of participants it. Or them, or ?, or your guess is as good as mine. No matter what you cut off, add, rearrange or inject into your body you will always be a male. You cannot become a female anymore than you can become a chipmunk. Don't pay much attention to Chuck but he got it right this time.

It should be enough to create a coed league for those who don't care about the biological disadvantage. But the true believers of gender doctrine are aiming to overthrow biology as identity. For them, to suggest humans are either male or female is to deny their beliefs -- to oppress their religion.
But at thee outset, wedding gender madness with sexual orientation politics only makes the incoherence more noticeable. They're different issues, kind of like men are different from women...

Can you imagine Sir Charles in his prime playing against a team of WNBA players? They wouldn't stand a chance

It's nothing that thousands of Americans haven't already said. Except that he totally supports the rights of trans people in every other area.
