Bears legend Brian Urlacher shares stance on trans athletes in girls' sports as issue rocks Illinois

Former Chicago Bears star linebacker Brian Urlacher made his stance known on the issue of transgender athletes in women's and girls' sports as the debate creates a divide in the state where he made his reputation – Illinois. 

Urlacher shared his opinion on the issue during an interview on the "Global View" podcast on May 9 and questioned why it is even a debate in some circles.

"Why is it even a debate? A woman is a woman and a man is a man… you're born with what you're born with," Urlacher said.
