WNBA fans blame Sophie Cunningham for Enes Kanter, Natasha Cloud incident at Fever game
Enes Kanter’s appearance and subsequent removal from the Indiana Fever vs. Chicago Sky game on Sunday led to some WNBA fans criticising Sophie Cunningham.
Fans of the Indiana Fever have been blaming guard Sophie Cunningham for the Enes Kanter and Natasha Cloud incident that occurred during the Fever's recent game against the Chicago Sky. Despite Cunningham's minimal involvement in the game, with just 10 minutes on the court and a -10 plus/minus, many fans believe she should be held accountable for the altercation between Kanter and Cloud.
While Kanter appeared to defend Cloud's actions, Cunningham's comments about protecting biological women in sports were the catalyst for the debate surrounding trans athletes in the WNBA. One fan remarked, "This league has let Sophie Cunningham destroy what was supposed to be an inclusive environment."
