She’s speaking out for women’s sports
Kimberly Brown, daughter of the late NFL icon Jim Brown, recently endorsed former President Donald Trump, crediting his actions for the Black community as a major influence in her decision. In an interview on “FOX & Friends,” Brown shared that her perspective began to change when her father, who had a significant influence on her, met with Trump during his transition into office. She explained that after remaining neutral for the first year of Trump’s presidency, she ultimately became a supporter, inspired by policies she felt directly benefited Black Americans.
Highlighting several of Trump’s initiatives, Brown pointed to his early actions, such as an executive order supporting religious freedoms, defunding Planned Parenthood, and signing the First Step Act for prison reform, a policy on which her father also consulted. She also emphasized Trump’s substantial funding for historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs) and support for school choice as positive steps he took during his time in office.
As a professional athlete, Brown cited another issue that has influenced her vote: her concern over women’s sports and the participation of transgender women. Brown, who plays tackle football, expressed her worries about safety and fairness, stating that the involvement of transgender women in women’s sports could lead to more injuries and place female athletes at a disadvantage, both physically and mentally. She argued that Title IX was meant to protect equal opportunities for women in sports, a goal she feels is undermined by current policies.
Brown also responded to recent remarks made by businessman Mark Cuban on “The View,” where he implied that the women around Trump lacked strength and intelligence. Brown firmly disagreed, calling Cuban’s comments “completely false” and arguing that Trump has always surrounded himself with capable, strong women who play key roles in his success. According to Brown, these women will be instrumental in helping Trump return to the White House.
In a follow-up on social media, Cuban clarified that his remarks were taken out of context. He explained that he was referring to Trump’s reluctance to be publicly challenged, not a lack of capable women in his circle. Cuban acknowledged that Trump has worked with intelligent women, including figures like Elaine Chao, Kellyanne Conway, and Ivanka Trump, though he maintained his stance about Trump’s preference to avoid direct challenges from them.
