How is this so mainstreamed? Why is Yahoo Sports on Team Men Can Be Women?
Indiana Fever star Sophie Cunningham has decided to use her platform to speak out on a hot-button political issue, and predictably, it has sparked widespread outrage from fans.
During a recent interview with ESPN, Cunningham spoke out against transgender women competing in women’s sport, eliciting quite a strong response from fans and media.
And by “quite a strong response” this clumsy male writer means a disapproving response.
During a recent interview with ESPN, Cunningham was asked about the “MAGA Barbie” nickname she has recently been given. While Cunningham says that label is a projection, given that she is a white girl from Missouri, she did go on to speak out on how to “protect women’s sports.”
Why the scare-quotes, clumsy male writer? Why shouldn’t she go on to talk about protecting women’s sports? Do women just obviously not deserve to have women’s sports?
Needless to say, this is a pretty strong stand from Cunningham, but she received a lot of criticism as a result.
No actually it’s not needless to say. It’s also not needless to explain your ardent though inarticulate disapproval.
His effort to explain is demonstrated by quoting a few stupid cliche-riddled jibes from random people and leaving it at that. Playground whispers for putative adults.
