Fever reserve Sophie Cunningham draws boos at Tempo game
Sophie Cunningham faced boos from the crowd at Scotiabank Arena during the Indiana Fever's game against the Toronto Tempo on Tuesday. Despite the boos, Cunningham attempted to brush off the negative reaction, attributing it to a recent social media post where she and her teammates tried ketchup chips for the first time. Cunningham, known for her stance on transgender women playing in the WNBA, has become a political lightning rod for her views.
There were mixed boos and cheers as Cunningham entered the game and left the court. Cunningham, speaking with ESPN, stated that she welcomed the diverse crowd in Canada and that boos and cheers were both part of the sports experience.
