The events in 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue took place on March 31, the same day as Easter Sunday of 2024. Isaac has a sportswear based on faith and a shoe line called “Unitus” already often speaks powerful of its Christian conviction.
“They want you to hate! This helps anyone and only promotes division,” he wrote. “They know exactly what they are doing … we should be angry but we should not lose the spirit of what tomorrow means! Do not lose focus. Because everyone’s hope is increasing.”
In a recent interview with Pak Gazette Digital, Isaac also explained its position on the eligibility of transgender athletes in girls and women’s sport.

“It’s just a difficult situation. There is an ethic … there is something that I think is true. I think men and women are different. I think men do not belong to women’s sports, that is a fundamental belief that I have. For reasons, I am one guy and I can understand the difference and the advantages we have,” Isaac said.
“But at the same time, there is a reality of the situation … There are people who are not in sports that are transgender (who) are trying to live their lives in the best way they know. And they have this feeling of what they think is correct and who is about to say that they are wrong in some sense.”

Isaac recognized the humanity of the complex situation, but said that his belief in the fundamental differences between men and women finally led him to draw a line in the sand.
“But where I am on the part of my flag, I think that to satisfy the feelings of this group, I would have to tramp daughter had to compete against a transgender athlete (who) has gone through puberty or has testosterone. “
Isaac shares two daughters with his wife.
Shortly after President Donald Trump’s second term began, he signed an executive order that effectively prohibits transgender athletes participating in children’s and women sports.

The Executive Order, “keep men outside women’s sports,” was based on Title IX, part of a civil rights law approved in 1972 that prohibits discrimination based on sex in education programs financed by the federal government.
The order instructed the Department of Education to investigate the academic institutions that they did not comply with. If a school is considered in breach, federal funds could be withdrawn.
In other places, the International Olympic Committee has decided to allow global federations that govern a variety of sports create their respective eligibility rules. According to Trump’s executive order, the State Department receives instructions to demand changes within the committee.
The NCAA reacted to the executive order by introducing a new radical policy. The updated participation policy of the organization, which was announced in February, declared that only “athletes assigned at birth” will be allowed to participate in intercollegial athletic competitions.
The last policy allows the “athletes assigned to men at birth to practice with women’s teams and receive benefits such as medical care.” However, these athletes are prohibited from any competence sanctioned by the NCAA.
In December 2024, the president of the NCAA, Charlie Baker, told a Senate committee that there were “less than 10” transgender university athletes that he knew at that time. Baker, who was the Massachusetts Republican governor since 2015-2023, also confirmed that there are approximately “five hundred and ten thousand” athletes registered in more than 1,000 schools and universities in the 50 states that supervises the NCAA.
