'Nobody Respects You': Sophie Cunningham Told to 'Shut up' by Former Teammate

Sydney Colson said Sophie Cunningham’s remarks on trans women in sports were harmful and noted the backlash has spread across the WNBA.

  • Former Indiana Fever guard Sydney Colson criticized teammate Sophie Cunningham during a recent episode of the podcast "Unsupervised," advising her and other white players to "shut the f up" regarding the trans issue.
  • During a summer ESPN interview, Sophie Cunningham ignited a high-profile WNBA conversation by stating she wanted to "protect young girls in the locker room," later calling her opinion "common sense."
  • Cunningham's comments sparked rallies outside Fever games and forced league coaches to address politically charged questions, while superstar teammate Caitlin Clark was labeled a "coward" for declining to issue a strong statement.
  • Colson argued that failing to speak up when teammates are affected undermines "sisterhood," warning that when players remain silent on harmful issues, "they don't respect you."
  • Cunningham has denied hating trans people, telling ESPN "I never once said that," and appeared to solidify her stance on Oct 3 at a Mizzou football game against Florida.
