Sophie Cunningham’s Pointed Defense of Women’s Sports

Indiana Fever star Sophie Cunningham defended the policy of keeping men out of women’s sports and girls’ locker rooms this week, and the Left and media immediately screamed, “Foul!”

However, Cunningham characteristically refused to back down and on Wednesday night repeated her desire to protect girls in sports.

The WNBA star, whose fierce, hysterical 22-second finger-point at Phoenix Mercury guard DeWanna Bonner last month turned her into a cultural phenomenon, insists she’s “not a very political person,” but protecting women’s sports is “common sense.”

Yet, such “common sense” has been enough for Cunningham to be derisively labeled “MAGA Barbie.”

The ruckus started when Cunningham, deep in a lengthy ESPN profile, declared she wanted to “protect young girls in the locker room” and “young girls in sports who shouldn’t have to go against biological men.”

It’s actually not a new position for the sharpshooting forward. In 2022, she shared a tweet from CBS Sports’ Josh Pate about former Penn transgender swimmer Lia Thomas that declared, “Female collegiate athletes deserve so much better than this.”
