The Guardian hosts another snotty bashing of Sophie Cunningham.
Indiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham is now in the act, accepting the role as the right’s anti-Black, anti-transgender culture war ambassador, the role originally intended for Caitlin Clark.
The writer is one Howard Bryant, who is in the US and has written several pieces for the Guardian. He seems to be simply lying about the “anti-Black” part. Google turns up nothing about Cunningham and “anti-Black”. He cites one guy writing about Fauci, and then pivots via Trump.
Apropos of nothing, President Trump publicly surmised that LeBron James might be a racist. Indiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham is now in the act, accepting the role as the right’s anti-Black, anti-transgender culture war ambassador, the role originally intended for Caitlin Clark.
What act? The fact that Trump said something idiotic about LeBron James does not support the claim that Sophie Cunningham is the right’s anti-Black culture war ambassador. It doesn’t even come close to supporting it.
Wouldn’t you think a halfway decent and/or conscious Guardian editor would have caught that? “Wait a second, Howard, you haven’t given us anything to support your claim that she’s anti-Black aka racist. Maybe it’s still in your pocket?”
Largely anonymous politically or otherwise during her eight-year career, Cunningham – she of the viral finger-point which has been adopted as a symbol of the white animosity toward the WNBA culture – is in her moment.
Why white?
Her comments in a lengthy 21 July ESPN profile stating her opposition to transgender athletes has earned her hero status of the specious “Protect Our Girls” movement, even though you’d need a microscope to find any critical mass of transgender women participating in sports at any level.
Easy for a man to say keeping men out of women’s sports is “specious”. It’s a good deal less specious when it’s your sports that are being ruined.
There’s a lot more random abuse and pseudo-profundity; it’s not worth reading.
