## Resource

Sophie Cunningham pointed at someone for 22 seconds and became the most talked-about player in the WNBA. Then she said women shouldn't have to play against biological men — and people decided she should die. Bridget Phetasy breaks down how a finger point turned into a culture war, why the WNBA is the last place woke is still fully alive, and why women defending men in women's sports might be the dumbest thing she's ever seen. \#SophieCunningham #WNBA #DumpsterFire Topics covered: ...
