Sports outlet views Cunningham as more divisive than Rapinoe
A New York Times’ The Athletic column called for the Indiana Fever to part ways with WNBA player Sophie Cunningham, criticizing her as a distraction due to her outspoken comments on issues like transgender athletes and her personality. The article contrasts her treatment with that of Megan Rapinoe, highlighting how athletes with similar or more controversial political stances, like Rapinoe, are not subject to such criticism. It argues that sports media often overlooks the political activism of athletes with liberal views while criticizing those with traditional or conservative positions, reflecting a perceived ideological bias.
