NFL ignores questions as pro-trans brand behind Jim Harbaugh’s viral shirt pushes into flag football
Just when all the focus is on trans and the WNBA, the Los Angeles Chargers welcomed a pro-trans in sports brand to training camp on Sunday and even got Jim Harbaugh to wear the brand's viral shirt.On the surface, the Chargers' "Women in Sports Day" appeared to be a standard community outreach event where young girls were introduced to the world of flag football, but if you dig a little deeper, you find TOGETHXR, whose cofounder is staunchly pro-trans in sports, promoting its catchy "Everyone Watches Women's Sports" slogan to unsuspecting fans who might not be aware of the company's pro-trans in sports stance.It's unclear if Harbaugh, or any of the coaches or players who appeared in the shirts were aware of TOGETHXR's politics.MEGAN RAPINOE SAYS EFFORTS TO BAR TRANS ATHLETES FROM WOMEN'S SPORTS ARE 'ATTACK ON WOMEN IN SOCIETY'"Trans women belong in sports. There are no scientific studies that prove that there is significant physical advantage," TOGETHXR cofounder Jessica Robertson said in 2023.Her fellow cofounders include athletes Sue Bird, Alex Morgan, Chloe Kim and Simone Manuel.
