Kirk Herbstreit stepping up

Kirk Herbstreit doubled down on his recent comments that men don’t belong in women’s sports.

The ESPN “College GameDay” host explained he’s been “biting [his] tongue” about the topic for years, and he’s “done giving any s—ts about it” during an appearance on OutKick’s “Don’t @ Me! with Dan Dakich” on Tuesday morning.

“I didn’t give a s–t, though. I don’t really give a s–t at all. Like, I’m done giving any s–ts at all about any of it,” Herbstreit said when asked about responding to a question about transgender athletes on social media last week. “It’s almost like there are two different sets of rules and if you have a view that’s a little bit more traditional — I’m a Christian guy, it’s like there’s a different set of rules for that viewpoint and it’s hard to just turn the other cheek time after time after time. I didn’t really care.

“So, yeah, I didn’t really care and I don’t care at all, which is a good thing. I think it’s good and healthy to get to that place, compared to, ‘Oh, gosh, I don’t want to get canceled. I don’t want to get people upset.’ I don’t give a s–t. I’m just going to say certain things.

“My problem is I have a temper and so if I get to that point, if that fuse gets lit, I let it go and then I’ll explode and say something, so that I have to be careful of that.”
