The Indiana Fever have travelled to New York for Saturday night’s matchup against the Liberty, with the team focused on securing a win. However, one player has remained at the center of attention in recent weeks following her comments.
Fever guard Sophie Cunningham has reignited the ongoing debate surrounding transgender participation in women’s sports and its place within the WNBA. This time, supporters made their presence felt in person, with people gathering outside Barclays Center before Saturday night’s game. Her comments quickly made the Fever guard one of the more divisive figures in the WNBA, drawing criticism from portions of the fan base and some fellow players while sparking widespread discussion across social media.
Cunningham made her position clear last month when she said she wanted “biological men” to be kept out of women’s sports and locker rooms.
