Sophie Cunningham Effaced by Ex-Fever Teammate: ‘They Don’t Respect You’
Two-time WNBA champion and ex-Fever guard Sydney Colson is done with Sophie Cunningham attacking the transgender community.
Former Indiana Fever guard Sydney Colson and her former teammate Theresa Plaisance have harsh words for Sophie Cunningham after her recent remarks about the transgender community. During their podcast "Unsupervised," both women criticized Cunningham's stance, which they felt was harmful to the transgender community and women's sports.
Colson specifically mentioned Cunningham's refusal to speak up against actions that impact those she claims to care about, saying that she doesn't respect Cunningham. This criticism comes after Cunningham's comments in an ESPN interview, where she expressed wanting to "protect young girls in the locker room" from biological men.
Cunningham also wore a hat to a Mizzou football game that read "No Cis, just... Woman," further emphasizing her stance. Colson and Plaisance argue that Cunningham's comments show a lack of respect for others and their opinions, leading to a lack of support from her former teammates.
