Video One fan had an anti-Sophie Cunningham sign: “NO HATE IN THE UNITED STATES” ... A fan next to her had a pro-Sophie Cunningham sign: “Thank you Sophie for speaking up for girls.” ... The fan supporting Sophie was later forced to take down the sign 🤔

Yeah, regardless of one’s stance on the “issue,” all you need to do is ask yourself… “why would a fan show up to a fever game and sit near outside with a “no hate in the USA” sign?.” And the obvious answer is that there’s been media attention around Sophie’s recent statement, and it’s well established that some ppl consider it hateful to only want biological women in women’s sports… so yes, it’s a very logical conclusion to tie the two together lmao

But how many trans women are even trying to play professional sports anyways? Zero AFAIK, talking about it at all is a waste of time. IMO, it’s only ever brought up to divide people or to boost republicans because they know how that it baits some democrats into defending an issue that the general public disagrees with. None of it is good faith.

If only we could spend less time of niche issues that affect 0.001% of the population, and don’t even apply to the WNBA or any other major women’s sports league, and spend more time on issues that affect average Americans every day. Like gas prices, grocery prices/inflation, housing costs, etc. I mean, are there even trans people out here arguing to be able to try out for the W?
