Republicans Weaponize WNBA Incident to Push Anti-Trans ‘Protect Girls’ Sports’ Agenda
Anti-DEI & culture-war propaganda

You have to wonder, why doesn't the NBA have these problems? Why is the WNBA such a hot mess?
East Wenatchee Girl Courtside Sign Sparks WNBA Controversy
Everyone is sick and tired of this transgender bullshit - men do not belong in women’s sports Or restrooms - thank you to Cunningham for standing up for women and women’s rights - everybody that don’t like it needs to stand up against it like this brave soul- ❤️
So it’s a women’s league, Sophie advocates for women and girls, more people are attending the games, more money for the league, clearly making a difference for women and girls. This is a good thing, right?? 🤔🤔🤔🤔
I think Sophie, Caitlyn and other like-minded players should look into starting an entirely new league. One filled with owners, players, and others who actually want to promote, play and expand the sport. The WNBA is an absolute joke and creates more division than unity. I don’t even watch basketball never really liked it to be honest. But I am definitely behind these ladies and others who have integrity, values and want to be their best. 
Protecting women’s sports isn’t hate. It’s common sense. Respect to Sophie.
Every little girl at every WNBA game needs a hold of those signs hold the line fight the good fight
I would challenge anyone on this post to tell me exactly what they think would happen to the WNBA if Caitlin Clark and Sophie Cunningham were not playing in it.
