CUNNINGHAM FACES BACKLASH OVER TRANSGENDER ATHLETES COMMENTS
Sophie Cunningham, an Indiana Fever guard, stated on 21 July that she wanted to "protect young girls in a locker room, or young girls in sport who shouldn't have to go against biological men." Cunningham's remarks prompted responses from other figures in sport. Megan Rapinoe characterised the comments as an "attack on women". Tennis player Martina Navratilova defended Cunningham, noting that she was "no newbie" to the debate.
