Nearly three weeks since OutKick reported that evidence strongly suggested that sports apparel giant Nike funded a study on "transgender" youth athletes, the company has remained virtually silent about its alleged role. Perhaps Nike believes that ignoring it will make it go away.
But that's not the case. The public deserves answers. And pressure is mounting on Nike to come out and explain itself.
To that end, NBA legend Charles Barkley appeared on OutKick's "Don't @ Me" with Dan Dakich and Dakich asked Barkley his thoughts on Nike and the study. While Barkley said he wasn't aware of the study, or Nike's potential role, he made his position on the general subject quite clear.
"I'm gonna make this very simple for you, Dan. Men should not play sports against women," Barkley said. "I'm not gonna get into all the bullshit that's going on out here in the world today."
