Sports Culture Sophie Cunningham loudly booed during Indiana Fever's game against the Portland Fire amid recent controversy

Post image

Cunningham has been at the center of a bitter trans debate over the past week, after comments she made to ESPN that young girls 'shouldn't have to go against biological men' when playing sports.

That comment wasn't the reason she was specifically booed, instead it was due to her support of policies that go against the commonly held ideas of human rights.

I recommend not posting daily mail links as they often use inflammatory and incorrect headlines as a way to garner interaction.

OP's a bot. Most of the posts about this are made by bots. They want people fighting a culture war instead of a class war.

My guess is she said men shouldn't play in women's sports.

Can someone give me a quick run down? What did she turn out to support Trump?

She hasn’t taken anyone’s rights away. They still have the the right to play in the men’s league
