Sophie Cunningham isn’t backing down.
The Indiana Fever guard has made a lot of headlines for her comments on transgender athletes in women’s sports. Cunningham believes it’s “common sense” to keep transgender athletes out of women’s sports. In an ESPN article, Cunningham said that she wants to “protect young girls in the locker room” and that “they shouldn’t have to go against biological men.”

Cunningham refuses to back down from her stance, too.
“I said what I said. I think it’s kind of common sense,” Cunningham said. “And I think I’ll always believe in that. I think it’s really important to protect children, and that’s little girls who are also involved in that category. I stand on what I said.”
Cunningham, meanwhile, has continued to trend on social media, with a “tiny” white swimsuit photo of the Indiana Fever guard making headlines.
