Sophie Cunningham's outspoken defense of women's sports has sparked a series of angry protests that show no sign of slowing down.

The Daily Mail can reveal that two further protests are being planned in the coming days, starting on Friday night outside the Portland Fire's Moda Center, where the Fever are due to play at 10pm EST.

In closing, your mother was a hamster and your father smelled of elderberries. I fffart in your general direction. Now go away you silly kuhniggit or I shall taunt you a second time.
What’s homo=ish, is calling him a her. You seem more confused than he is.

Hahaha! Couldn’t happen to a more deserving group or lesbos and losers.
