Sophie Cunningham and West Wilson split on transgender athletes in girls' sports despite podcast partnership
West Wilson called the transgender athletes debate a "borderline nonexistent issue" pushed by right-wingers, putting him at odds with Sophie Cunningham.
WNBA star Sophie Cunningham ruffled plenty of feathers with her recent comments regarding protecting women's sports.Several media personalities and even some fellow WNBA colleagues were quick to bristle at her statement about keeping biological men out of girls' sports, but the Indiana Fever guard has not backed down.The latest person to take umbrage with Cunningham's comments is a familiar and unlikely one, though, as childhood friend and podcast co-host, West Wilson, took to X to voice his displeasure with "right wingers" turning the trans in women's sports debate into a mountain of an issue.
WHITE HOUSE DEFENDS WNBA STAR SOPHIE CUNNINGHAM AFTER SHE SPEAKS OUT IN SUPPORT OF PROTECTING WOMEN'S SPORTS"Transgender athletes in American sports is such a borderline nonexistent issue that right-wingers have convinced a massive portion of people in our country that these people are a threat to sports in America when mathematically, that's not the case at all," Wilson said.He continued by claiming that by platforming the issue, politicians in particular are sowing divisiveness and "isolating" trans people."There is, like, 10 transgender athletes in all of the NCAA," Wilson said.
"I think there are unique questions that can be handled on individual bases, but to allow this to take our attention from housing, healthcare, wars, all the other actual harmful s–t in our country is dumb."MEGAN RAPINOE SAYS EFFORTS TO BAR TRANS ATHLETES FROM WOMEN'S SPORTS ARE 'ATTACK ON WOMEN IN SOCIETY'There are plenty of things wrong with what Wilson said, namely that transgender athletes in female sports is solely a "right wing" issue.Plenty of sane people on both sides of the aisle have voiced their displeasure with biological men invading female spaces, so to paint this as a fringe right crusade is disingenuous.
It's also worth noting that he goes out of his way to mention NCAA athletes but nothing about youth or high school sports.MICHIGAN FATHER ALLEGES BOMB THREAT TO HOME AFTER DAUGHTER SPO
