Sophie Cunningham has remained a major topic of discussion amid the controversy surrounding comments she made in July, which reignited debate over transgender participation in women’s sports and the WNBA.
They further explained their position, “We have chosen to filter content. If you want to post freely about Sophie you can go to different sub…..You aren’t even a contributor to this sub, so I suggest you go back to the other WNBA subs. This is our decision. If you keep messaging about this you will be banned. Those remarks turned Cunningham into a highly polarizing personality within the WNBA, prompting criticism from some sections of the fan base and fellow players while also making her a regular subject of discussion across social media.
Because posts involving Cunningham were frequently drawing trolls and users they felt were not genuinely part of the WNBA community, the moderators’ explanation suggests that the filter was introduced.
