WNBA's trans war threatens to spiral out of control as protestors plan more furious demonstrations in support of Sophie Cunningham
The Daily Mail ^ | July 31, 2026 | Ben Nagle

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

The Indiana Fever star's recent comments about 'protecting young girls' from transgender athletes in sports has created huge controversy on both sides of the arguments, leading to a series of anti-trans rallies outside WNBA arenas.

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.

On Sunday, Indiana travels to Minnesota to face the Lynx, where another demonstration has been slated ahead of the 1pm EST tip-off.

The planned rallies come just days after the issue exploded in Seattle, when a calm protest outside the arena was followed by a courtside meltdown from a Storm co-owner which led to her being suspended for five games by the team.

After two young girls brought in signs pledging their support for Cunningham and the 'protect women's sports' movement, Celeste Keaton allowed her temper to boil over when she confronted them and allegedly told them they were '****ing insane'.

This issue is so cut a dry

There are only two possible stands to have:

1. Women are so biologically inferior that they need to have their own leagues separate from biological men.

2. Women and men are biologically equal and there shouldn’t be separate leagues for women.

A mentally ill man who believes he is a biological woman doesn’t change either of those choices.

There is a reason why Sophie Cunningham is in the spotlight taking the attention away from Caitlin Clark. You see Sophie is blonde and hot. Clark is not and her achievements get downplayed when her accomplishments have to compete with the social dramas going on.

We need thousands who support to show up. Show the trans-tifa that they are a tiny minority. It is time this mess is put back in the closet.

The WNBA doesn’t allow trans players. NCAA as well

To the left leaders, that is just the current vehicle to achieve the goal. Getting people to believe the unbelievable is the ends. Examples: Denying God and the family structure is oppressive. If they can get that acceptance, then people will look to government for all the answers. The left will give you all the government you think you want and all the government they believe you deserve.

It’s funny. All she did was point her finger accusingly at another player and the rest is history. How often do things like that happen? More often than you think.

Just a reminder:

The issue is never the issue. The issue is always the revolution.

How can anyone want a Communist Islamic Mayor in NYC?

This is kind of a silly discussion, but I want to correct your use of the term "biologically INFERIOR" to describe women compared to men.

Women and men are totally, fundamentally different at the cellular level. Men without women, women without men, ends humanity in a generation.

The phrase "are so biologically DIFFERENT" is better, because using "inferior" in the sports context implies that they should be being measured with the same ruler in the first place - when in fact they shouldn't be being compared, in the competitive sense, at all.

Sophie is also close to Sydney Sweeney and is rumored to be one of the models for Sweeney’s up-coming SYRN lingerie line

Good. Shut it all down. Watch, after a week, how no one actually cares.

“How can anyone support men in womens sports?”

No kidding. It is fantastic to see young women and other people protesting that insanity. Maybe common sense is starting to return and catering to the mentally ill is on the wane.

Getting people to believe the unbelievable is the ends.

The end of the globalists pushing this agenda is the destruction of white Christian Western Civ in the name of population control. It's an eschatological wet dream.
