Over the past several weeks, Indiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham has found herself at the center of some controversy after she spoke out against transgender women competing in women's sports. As a result of those comments, she did not exactly receive a warm welcome from fans on Sunday afternoon.
During Sunday afternoon's showdown with the Minnesota Lynx in Minnesota, Cunningham was heavily booed every time she touched the ball as fans in attendance expressed their displeasure.
This whole ordeal began last month when Cunningham decided to take a stand on transgender athletes.
In a recent interview as part of an ESPN profile, Cunningham was asked about her political views, including the "MAGA Barbie" nickname that has been attached to her in recent months. During her response, the Indiana Fever guard addressed the topic of transgender athletes competing in women's sports.
"I got a lot of negative feedback about me hating trans. And I'm like, 'I never once said that,'" she told ESPN. "I think that I am here to extend love. But I also think with that love is truth, being honest. And I want to protect young girls in a locker room, or young girls in sport who shouldn't have to go against biological men."
