New York Liberty star Breanna Stewart has made her first public comments about the WNBA controversy sparked by Sophie Cunningham's stance against trans athletes in women's sports.
Before the Liberty handed the Indiana Fever a 109-102 loss on Saturday, Liberty's star guard Stewart addressed the furore over trans athletes created by her opponent, Cunningham.
With two different rallies going on outside the Liberty's Barclays Centre home, Stewart delivered her take on trans athletes participating in women's sports.
Stewart delivered a nuanced statement on the current debate surrounding trans athletes and the WNBA in an interview, directly addressing Cunningham's comments but not attacking her for having this difference of opinion.
"Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. This league is incredibly inclusive, in what we continue to fight for and stand up against. So we don't want to take that platform away."
