Canadian gold medallist led first Sophie Cunningham rally to take place outside of United States
Indiana Fever travelled to Canada to face off with Toronto Tempo on Tuesday, and the reaction to Sophie Cunningham has been mixed. Cunningham became a divisive figure in the WNBA earlier this year after her comments on transgender athletes competing in the sport.
Team Canada gold medalist April Hutchinson led the first rally in support of Sophie Cunningham outside of the United States, taking place in Toronto on Tuesday prior to the Indiana Fever's game against the Toronto Tempo. The rally featured fans holding signs that expressed their love and support for Cunningham, such as "with love is truth" and "thank you Sophie."
However, not everyone at the game was as supportive, as Cunningham received boos from the Tempo crowd during the matchup on August 18. Despite the mixed reactions from the fans, Cunningham acknowledged the passionate and loud support the city had for her, stating, "I think it’s amazing."
