Former Minnesota Vikings and University of Minnesota football player Jack Brewer has blasted Attorney General Keith Ellison over his lawsuit against the Trump administration challenging the ban on transgender boys playing girls’ sports.
Trump signed an executive order in February to protect women’s and girls’ sports by withholding federal funds from states that do not comply.
In April, Ellison filed a lawsuit against Trump and Attorney General Pam Bondi, accusing them of “bullying.”
“I’m not going to sit around waiting for the Trump administration to sue Minnesota,” Ellison said during a press conference about the lawsuit. “Today, Minnesota is suing him and his administration because we will not participate in this shameful bullying.”
Speaking to Fox News, Brewer asserted, “Clearly, Keith Ellison, the attorney general of Minnesota, has never played any major sports.”
“It’s like he’s never stepped foot in a real locker room, especially not one where the sport demanded true athleticism, grit and toughness. It’s embarrassing to watch a Black man stand before the nation and promote boys competing against girls,” Brewer said.
“The state has veered so far off course that it’s doing the exact opposite of what it once stood for. It used to be a national leader on Title IX and women’s rights. Now, it’s destroying women’s sports, degrading women and promoting situations where men are physically dominating women,” Brewer continued.
“It’s heartbreaking for any former Gopher, any former Viking, any professional athlete who’s lived in that great city. It’s embarrassing. It’s shocking. And, to be honest, it’s just devastating.”
Brewer pointed out that allowing males to play against girls is physically dangerous.
“In any sport — especially something like softball — people can get seriously hurt. A man hits the ball harder. A man throws the ball faster. So, the idea of allowing men to compete in women’s softball — especially now, when that sport has grown in visibility and opportunity — is insane,” Brewer said.
“Women’s softball is one of the fastest-growing sports in America. If every high school varsity baseball player decided to go play Division I women’s softball, there would be no women left on the field. Anyone who supports that agenda is either ignorant or pushing politics over people,” Brewer added. “And that’s exactly what Keith Ellison is doing. They don’t care about the girls. They care about fundraising and staying in power, and they’re doing it at the expense of young athletes all across America.”

The White House responded to the lawsuit by calling Ellison’s defense of men playing women’s sports “creepy.”
“Why would a grown man sue the Trump administration to allow other biological males to participate in women’s sports? This is creepy and anti-woman,” White House spokesperson Harrison Fields told Fox News.
The extremely far-left attorney general infamously shared a photo of himself holding the Antifa Anti-Fascist Handbook in 2018, claiming that it would “strike fear” into President Trump.
Judge Susan Nelson, an Obama appointee recused herself from the case. It has now been assigned to Judge Patrick Schiltz, a George W. Bush appointee.
