WNBA star Sophie Cunningham has made her position on protecting women's sports clear.

In an ESPN interview, the fan-favorite Caitlin Clark teammate addressed the issue for the first time.

"I got a lot of negative feedback about me hating trans. And I'm like, 'I never once said that,'" Cunningham said.

"I think that I am here to extend love. But I also think with that love is truth, being honest. And I want to protect young girls in a locker room, or young girls in sport who shouldn't have to go against biological men.

"I'm very much in the middle. I agree with things on both sides, disagree with things on both sides. And that's all I've ever said about my political beliefs. But people love to assume."

The league already lets thuggish biological females beat the shite out of Sophie on a nightly basis, no wonder she doesn’t want biological males to have the same opportunity.

Seems like a completely reasonable stance that I’m sure will be blown way out of proportion by everyone involved

Of course she’s right about trans people in women’s sports, but this article exaggerates her importance. Describing her as a “fan favorite”, as if the WNBA has any fans, or anybody knows who the hell she is.

Guess you’ve been under a rock the last few weeks. She’s exploded in popularity on social media.

Wrong. She rode Clark’s coattails, but now she’s arguably gets more attention, mostly because she’s good looking and an interesting character. Whether you know who she is or not, she’s one of the most prominent pop culture/sports figures at the moment.

Reading comprehension skills lacking.

you're wrong, clark would have an " 's " , or it would say “the teammate of fan-favorite Caitlin Clark”, for fan favorite to be referencing clark. but you we're right about comprehension being hard.

She watered it down some. I like J.K. Rowling’s approach better.

I'm a big Sophie fan but let her explain this more?

quote:

agree with things on both sides,


Whats there to agree with the side that wants men in playing in womens sports?

Sounds like shes staying in the middle, not ruffling feathers, so to speak.

I'm very much in the middle


Well there it is... Hey Sophie, just rip the Bandaid off and tell'em its a mental illness and seek help.... When they bitch do the pointing thing at them and watch the melt.

Or just STFU and say nothing.

I noticed she’s trying to cover herself by saying she’s in the middle and disagrees with things on both sides. Just say you disagree with it and leave it at that.
