The name Imane Khelif is the most talked about name in the world as of today. The boxer is in the center of a storm after she forced her opponent, Italian Angela Carini, to quit their round of 16 bout in 46 seconds. The Algerian will continue to compete at the Paris Olympics 2024, despite the calls to disqualify her. With the controversy surrounding her gender, NFL legend Shannon Sharpe decided to chime in.
The ESPN analyst took to his podcast, Nightcap, to talk with Chad Johnson about the entire controversy. He explained his understanding of how this problem can be solved:
Every man doesn't have the same level of testosterone. But if he's born with those parts, is he any less of a man? So, because a woman if born with those parts, and she produces a high level of testosterone, does that make her any less of a woman?
Shannon Sharpe said
To this when Johnson answered ‘No’, Sharpe added;
Can she conceive a child? Does she have a period? That's all that matters. She's not identifying as a woman, God gave her those parts.
Shannon Sharpe added
This is one of the most logical takes on this entire controversy. Shannon Sharpe brought it down to the basics and made it crystal clear.
