The former NFL recipient, Frank Murphy, called for male athletes to defend their female colleagues and to promote equity in female and girls sports.
Murphy, who is president of Athletes for America at America First Policy Institute, appeared on Thursday on “Fox & Friends First” and spoke of the blue states that hit their noses on the executive order of President Donald Trump aimed at banning organic men of sports for girls and women.

The Trump administration fought bitter with several states, including Maine, New Jersey, New York, Illinois, Minnesota and California, on the issue. Murphy suggested that the Democrats needed a “distraction” because of the way they lost in all the rest in politics, but he deplored that he was at the expense of women.
“It affects the opportunity of women, it harms the privilege of women, it hurts them in all the phases of sport because now you withdraw from the thing even if hard for simply because you are not satisfied from who you are,” he said. “I couldn’t imagine entering a locker room and telling my teammates:” Hey, I’m going to go here and try this other sport, and it’s called female sports, and go there and play. “”
“Dude is a lack of respect for our women and it is time for sports men, men who play sports – at the NFL level, at the NBA, Rasslin ‘, whatever it is – it is time for men to defend women in sport.”

Murphy agreed with the legend of Green Bay Packers Donald Driver after the broad receiver told PK Press Club Digital earlier in the week that “God did to you how he made you” and if you are a man, you play against men and, if you are a woman, you compete against women.
“Be careful. God has frightened you, wonderfully,” added Murphy on “Fox & Friends First”. “It means that he did you wonderfully. It means that he even made you with a little fear to make sure you are perfect in his eyes.
“And so you look at God saying,” No, I’m not perfect, so I’m going to change certain things. “This is not the way to follow.
Murphy was a selection of sixth round of the Chicago Bears in 2000 of the state of Kansas. He played for the Buccaneers of Tampa Bay and the Texans of Houston.
