During a visit to the White House, Juventus players encountered an uncomfortable situation when President Trump prompted them to comment on transgender women participating in sports. The team, in America for the Club World Cup, was asked how they felt about a woman potentially joining their squad. The players did not engage in the dialogue, with GM Damien Comolli trying to steer the conversation toward their women's team. This event coincides with heightened tensions over trans issues in the U.S., illustrated by a recent Supreme Court decision affecting transgender rights.
At one point Trump... turned around to ask the Juventus players and staff about their views on the subject.
Juventus's general manager, Damien Comolli, attempted to deflect the query.
Trump's comments come at a time when trans people are facing increasing hostility in the US.
The ruling is a devastating loss for trans rights supporters in a case that could set a precedent for... the rights of transgender children.
