Sportscaster: WNBA Set the Table by Not Disciplining Sophie Cunningham for Her Transphobic Comments

As our own Warren Squire reported earlier, the WNBA has trans woman Enes Kanter Freedom escorted from the arena after she was attacked by a Chicago Sky player for wearing a T-shirt reading "Woman (noun): an adult human female." The WNBA can't even define what a woman is. Chris Williamson says in his X bio that he's an Emmy-nominated sportscaster, though he doesn't say for whom. Williamson thinks the WNBA set the table for all of this trans madness when the league didn't immediately discipline the Indiana Fever's Sophie Cunningham for her "transphobic comments" to ESPN. To review, those transphobic comments were: "I got a lot of negative feedback about me hating trans. And I'm like, 'I never once said that.'" and "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."

The moment the league didn’t discipline Sophie Cunningham for her transphobic comments, they set the table for almost all of this political discourse and nastiness towards the trans community. Her conduct has objectively been detrimental to the league.

What was transphobic about her comments? https://t.co/PNMmAOMYmz

Speaking biological truths isn't transphobic, no matter how often you bleat that word. Live in your own misogynistic delusion if you want to do so, but please stop try to force other people to spout lies

Speaking obvious truth isn't "transphobic," a slur designed to stifle debate.

Same tactic your Islamist pals use.

There was no discipline because her comments weren’t transphobic, they were only in support of women in sports, and banning biological men from them for safety and fairness, like the FIBA and IOC have done already.

Hard to comprehend how incredibly ignorant your post is. Multiple levels of absurdity.

Not one bit of “nastiness”. She just doesn’t want dudes in her locker room. Or any girl’s locker room.

If that is “detrimental to the league” then it isn’t a league…it’s a cult.

“I want to protect young girls in a locker room or young girls in sport who shouldn't have to go against biological men”

How is the left so brainwashed that they consider this transphobic? Yall are absolute clowns.

Is freedom of speech only allowed when you agree? Hypocrite

Her comments were pro women.

If making comments that are pro women means "anti-trans" to the left then they've got bigger problems to worry about.

Good luck holding that coalition together.

The moment you all decided to make truth and reality “transphobic,” you set the table for a cascading set of harms to women and girls, especially incarcerated women, homeless women, female athletes, and young girls.

First, transphobic is a fake and made up word. Second, as such, she never said anything against trans people. Third, being a liberal man whining about a woman protecting women’s sport is detrimental to human society.

Funny how you call out alleged transphobia from Sophie Cunningham for only wanting women to play in women's basketball, but you refuse to call out the blatant transphobia towards @EnesFreedom at the Chicago Sky game last night.

What is transphobic about not wanting biological males in the WNBA, Christopher?

And are you seriously suggesting that no player in the league should be allowed to publicly express that view? What other views do you demand they ban?
— AdamInHTownTX (@AdamInHTownTX) August 24, 2026

Sophie Cunningham didn't make any transphobic comments. She answered a question that was asked.

You do know that the W in WNBA stands for Women's, right?
— Marv Kline (@Marvin_Kline_NW) August 24, 2026

What are you talking about? If we are concerned about biological men competing with biological women in sports, we are transphobic? No on can have an opinion unless it fits your take? Yet you run your mouth here insinuating people who think it’s unfair are hateful.
— Dark Rides (@TesRides) August 24, 2026

There was no transphobia in her comments. There is, however, gynophobia in anyone who disagrees with her’s opinions. You fear women.
— Phil (@RealPhillyP) August 24, 2026

So Williamson is saying that the WNBA should have disciplined Cunningham to scare anyone else in the league who held similar "transphobic" views from speaking up?
