The Women's National Basketball Players Association released a statement on Friday, emphasizing diversity and inclusion while saying the organization "will not be used as political pawns."
"We embrace justice equity, diversity, and inclusion," the statement read. "Those are the values that unite this Union and allow it to protect women's sports while creating transformational change. Hate, abuse, and demonization of any person or group of people, including transgender people, only fuel fear, division, and harm. We will continue to have hard conversations. But we will not be used as political pawns."
Though not mentioned by name, the WNBPA's statement comes 17 days after Fever guard Sophie Cunningham's comments about transgender athletes in women's sports were published in a profile on ESPN.
"I got a lot of negative feedback about me hating trans. And I'm like, 'I never once said that,'" she told ESPN. "I think that I am here to extend love. But I also think with that love is truth, being honest. And I want to protect young girls in a locker room, or young girls in sport who shouldn't have to go against biological men."
Cunningham's comments immediately became political fodder. The Department of Education posted a meme on X of Cunningham pointing. President Donald Trump has spoken about the issue, and Vice President J.D. Vance told Fox News host Laura Ingraham that he would encourage Cunningham to "keep speaking her mind."
Multiple WNBA players and coaches have come out in support of transgender athletes, including Seattle Storm center Stefanie Dolson and Minnesota Lynx coach Cheryl Reeve.

Agreed. Of course, this particular man doesn’t really claim to be trans. He posted it sarcastically as a way to point out the idiocy of fake men participating in women’s sports. As Rush liked to say: using absurdity to illustrate the absurd.
All the bizzarre groups compete for the same pool of young people with a vague sense that something is wrong or missing with them; they have been preyed on by cults of a religious extreme bent for ages, and have been the victims of all the waves of epidemic disorders like anorexia, bulemia, cutting , etc. They all promise to provide an “explanation” for their dysphoria. But there is no happiness down any of their roads.
How do we know that there isn’t already a trans or 2 playing currently in the WNBA? Britney Griner for one.
WNBPAWXYZ has their head up their A$$.
Fair point
How much publicity did they get before?
