Former Minnesota Vikings captain and University of Minnesota football player Jack Brewer had to watch his family’s state get sued by the U.S. Department of Justice for refusing to keep males out of girls’ sports. 

The DOJ announced it is suing education agencies in Minnesota on Monday for its continued refusal to comply with President Donald Trump’s mandate to keep biological male trans athletes out of girls’ high school sports in the state. The DOJ alleged that the state’s Department of Education (MDE) and the Minnesota State High School League (MSHSL) are in violation of Title IX.

Brewer, who has been a staunch and frequent critic of the state’s Democrat leadership, said he is “sick.”

“And I’m sick and tired of it,” Brewer told Fox News Digital.

“The fact that you have billions of dollars coming from the federal government to fund these twisted ideologies… This is the reason why you have such an increase in transgenderism across the United States, because of states like Minnesota literally brainwashing children.

“I’ve got former teammates and family members that have to deal with the realities of these public schools in Minneapolis, seeing the disrespect that comes out of these children, seeing children being sexualized and celebrating things about whether or not you want to be with a man or a woman, just completely sexualizing them.”

Brewer condemned the state for its commitment to protecting transgender athletes amid his concerns over educational resources made available to Minnesota’s Black students.

“If they really cared about equality, then they would actually go out and put funds into educating their most underserved people, educating their children of color, but they don’t do that,” Brewer said. 

Brewer praised President Donald Trump and Attorney General Pam Bondi for their decision to sue the state’s education agencies. 

“President Trump and Pam Bondi are right to take on this issue, and I applaud their continued leadership in protecting young women and girls—especially athletes—by defending the original intent of Title IX and the protections it was meant to guarantee. They should continue fighting to correct this. It’s common sense,” he said.

Minnesota has resisted making a change to its policies regarding transgender athletes. The state filed a preemptive lawsuit last year, saying the state’s human rights act supersedes President Donald Trump’s executive orders. The lawsuit said at the time that the state was already in compliance with Title IX. A ruling is pending on the federal government’s motion to dismiss the case.

The federal government said in a statement on Monday that the state violates Title IX “by requiring girls to compete against boys in athletic competitions that are designated exclusively for girls and allowing boys to invade intimate spaces designated exclusively for girls, such as multi-person locker rooms and bathrooms.”

The Justice Department said the MDE’s funding, which is $3 billion annually from the U.S. Departments of Education and Health and Human Services, is contingent on its compliance with Title IX.

The lawsuit asked federal court in Minnesota to declare that the state is in violation of Title IX.

“The Minnesota Department of Education is reviewing the filing and remains committed to ensuring every child— regardless of background, zip code, or ability—has access to a world-class education and every opportunity to thrive as their authentic self in safe, supportive school communities,” the department said.

Tiger Woods will not be at the Masters next weekend after he was charged with DUI following a rollover crash last week, Augusta National Chairman Fred Ridley said Tuesday.

Woods pleaded not guilty to charges stemming from the crash and his subsequent arrest. Ridley released a statement later, revealing Woods will not be in Georgia for the event.

“Augusta National Golf Club and the Masters Tournament fully support Tiger Woods as he focuses on his well-being,” Ridley said. “Although Tiger will not be joining us in person next week, his presence will be felt here in Augusta.”

There was a chance that Woods was angling to compete in the Masters as he returned to competition in The Golf League days before his crash. However, the wreck in Jupiter Island, Florida, led to driving under the influence with property damage and refusal to submit to a blood alcohol level (BAL) test charges.

Woods told law enforcement officers that he was distracted prior to the crash, according to an affidavit obtained by Fox News Digital. The affidavit also said that a search of Woods yielded two hydrocodone pills in his pant pocket.

He submitted to a Breathalyzer test after being booked in Martin County Jail, clearing a 0.00 result on both samples. However, he declined to submit a urine test, which resulted in another charge.

This marks the second DUI arrest for Woods in the last decade. He was also taken into custody on Jupiter Island in 2017 after being asleep behind the wheel of a running vehicle at 3 a.m. after taking prescription drugs.

Woods was also involved in a 2021 rollover crash that resulted in serious leg injuries and emergency surgeries, which is what he was alluding to during the field sobriety tests.

Woods released a statement earlier Tuesday, saying he was going to “seek treatment.”

“I know and understand the seriousness of the situation I find myself in today,” Woods said in a statement posted on social media. “I am stepping away for a period of time to seek treatment and focus on my health. This is necessary in order for me to prioritize my well-being and work toward lasting recovery.

“I’m committed to taking the time needed to return in a healthier, stronger, and more focused place, both personally and professionally. I appreciate your understanding and support, and ask for privacy for my family, loved ones and myself at this time.”
