ESPN's Kirk Herbstreit Stands Tall Against Men in Women's Sports
ESPN College GameDay host Kirk Herbstreit says he is done worrying about those who would criticize him over his comments that men should not play in women's sports.
During a visit with Outkick's Don't @ Me! with Dan Dakich, the sports host, said he had spent years staying quiet on the topic, but now he is "done giving any shits" what the critics say.
"I didn't give a shit, though. I don't really give a shit at all. Like, I'm done giving any shits at all about any of it," Herbstreit said about the social media attacks he suffered after criticizing trans athletes in women's sports.
"It's almost like there are two different sets of rules, and if you have a view that's a little bit more traditional - I'm a Christian guy - it's like there's a different set of rules for that viewpoint, and it's hard to just turn the other cheek time after time after time. I didn't really care," he continued..............
"I've been biting my tongue on a lot of topics for three years," he told Outkick. "I was just like, I'm just going to give a quick answer, 'Ridiculous question, of course not.' I didn't dwell on it. I didn't give a like a long answer - that was it, and I didn't realize it would be way more positive than negative."
