“And the fact that we have not been able to say it with courage, but with kindness and some of humility, it is crazy. It is crazy that we have reached this point in sports that we cannot be honest about what is true and not be a moron about it, but say: ‘Yes, you are not putting a man in my daughter’s costume. It is not happening.'”
