Stephen A. Smith stated his opposition to transgender athletes competing in women's sports during a Bloomberg interview ahead of the Super Bowl.
Smith emphasized his support for LGBTQ rights but argued that biological males competing in women's sports disadvantage cisgender female athletes.
He aligned his views with President Donald Trump's recent executive order banning transgender athletes from women's sports under Title IX.
