Basketball player Sophie Cunningham waved the checkered flag at the Formula 1 Grand Prix auto race, and the left had a cow.
So-called “progressives” are ignorant, bitter, nasty, wannabe tyrants who contribute nothing to the society that they so wish to destroy.
And nothing escapes their claw-like grasp and fetid commentary, no matter how mundane and benign.
WNBA basketball player Sophie Cunningham, for example, causes them to explode into fits of demented rage, seemingly by simply existing. This is largely because she is white, attractive, likely heterosexual, and believes that men should not be allowed into women’s locker-rooms and bathrooms … or onto their sports teams.
So, when she was given the honor of waving the checkered flag at the Formula 1 United States Grand Prix (road) race in Austin, Texas, recently, many leftist nutcases took to social media to melt down.
One such yahoo opined, “Yet again the U.S. races proving that F1 is still not a safe space for the LGBTQIA+ community with Sophie Cunningham waving the flag and Ted Cruz giving out trophies.”
Egads! I can see why you were so traumatized!
The yahoo continued with her tweet, “I thought we were keeping politics out of the sport? Do better for our community and help us feel welcome.”
Ironically, that poster brought the politics into “the sport,” where there were no ideological pronouncements from Sophie. But liberals always do just that. Their “community,” whatever it may be, has to be feted, welcomed, and worshipped above all others.
Yet another wrote, “sophie cunningham waved the flag? wtf are we doing she’s not even a relevant basketball player. the shock about f1 isn’t that they are right wing but my God when they go low it’s always in the sleaziest cheapest way.”

I LOVE SOFIE! Sofie can take it and she can give it, Sofie can shoot a basketball right along with the BEST, She’s fearless, beautiful and adorable. If she’s waving a flag, saluting a flag, or just running down the court, she’s one of America’s TOP Representatives and True Americans Adore her!
I got that part nailed 😉
6’ 4”
That should read males, 'cause they sure ain't men!
F1 loves beautiful women. Get over it ugly hags.
LOL!! Exactly!!
What’s not to like ?
Rumor is she is going to be in NH next Tuesday to help get out the vote.
Go Sophie! The Fever need to sign you to a contract.
This hate-filled behavior is natural and inevitable to all folk who pursue any of the collectivist polities: Socialism, Progressive, Democratic Socialism, Communism, whatever. They are all the same and simply spots on a spectrum — with all pressure pushing for the most deadly version.
Ranking them is like ranking stages of rabies.
No. You are responsible for your own feelings. Don't draft me into your activist operations.
If you want to go to an F1 race, then go. Nobody is stopping you from attending and enjoying the race. The problems start when you try to use everyone else's platforms for your activism.
Everything doesn't have to be a billboard for your "message"; others want "safe spaces" too -- from you!
Just be a racing fan, if you are a racing fan, and leave your politics in the garage.

That will live on forever. What a way to get into another player’s and leagues head...
She was a ring girl at the UFC this year also.
DO NOT LOOK NOW—_BUT F-1 & NHRA ARE BOTH IN LAS VEGAS THIS WEEKEND.
GOOD LUCK FINDING ROOMS, ETC>
WHO THE H SCHEDULED THIS???
EARLIER THIS YEAR-—A NASCAR RACE & A PBR BULL RIDING EVENT WERE THE SAME WEEKEND IN LV.
SOMEONE NEEDS TO WAKE UP
And she’s wearing a cross! That must REALLY set the LGBTQWERTY+ leftards off.
Progressive's hatred is bottomless. Step out of line and they want YOU or the person of the moment targeted cancelled, humiliated and/or dead. And THESE PEOPLE THINK OF THEMSELVES AS KIND, SENSITIVE? They're nuts - out of touch with who and what they really are... It's scary.
I’m sure the cross necklace there triggered our atheist Leftist “friends” as well.
She’s a mudshark.
The first thing I noticed was the CROSS. Why is she bringing religion into politics/sports?
