Super Bowl champion coach, Olympians sign amicus brief supporting protection of female athletes in SCOTUS case

With the Supreme Court set to hear the Little vs. Hecox case, Idaho Attorney General Raul Labrador will have a big decision to make in the national movement to keep trans athletes out of women's and girls' sports.
