Today is the birthday of WNBA star and defender of women's sports, Sophie Cunningham.
Even though her coach has a regrettable tendency to throw her and her teammate Caitlin Clark under the bus, her team congratulated her on reaching the big Three-O.

Last night, however, after her Indiana Fever beat the Dallas Wings, on the road, 98-87, Cunningham decided to get a head start on her birthday celebration when the team returned home to Indianapolis.
If anyone thought she was going to back down from her love of America and her love of protecting women's spaces, think again.
To celebrate the win and her birthday, Cunningham hopped up onto the bar (OK, she was helped up) and belted out her version of the Toby Keith anthem, "Courtesy of the Red, White, and Blue." Watch:
Only Sophie Cunningham could go from playing a Fever game to randomly showing up at a bar and singing “Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue” with the fans. 🥰🇺🇸

She’s truly the freaking best. ❤️❤️ pic.twitter.com/FSvsnUOjPZ
How can you not love her?
Unless you are a bitter, violent LGBTQ+ Communist opponent of hers on the court, that is. Or a member of the broken, leftist sports media.
But Cunningham didn't stop there. She also led the bar in a chant of "U-S-A! U-S-A!"

Ooooh, anti-Americans and the TA mob are REALLY gonna despise her now.
But she clearly does not give one single F, nor should she.
Love that she's having so much fun.

Being happy, living your best life, and loving America are the best ways to silence the miserable, hateful Left.
America's sweetheart 🥹 https://t.co/cPjQ1b02Vl

We're sure her DMs are flooded with marriage proposals.

Just as the Left screeched when the USA Men's and Women's hockey teams celebrated their gold medals by having some fun in bars and showing how proud they were to be Americans, they will give Cunningham the same treatment.
And again… tell me exactly what you are about without telling me exactly what you are about.

Just own who you are and stop talking about “loving everybody”. https://t.co/bSAUDTD3Mk
Sigh ... see what we mean?
According to Page, Cunningham can't 'love everybody' because she loves America.
That's the mindset of the Left, and they are too oblivious and filled with hate to see the irony.
She hit 1 3 last night played atrocious defense but is out at the bar, Lexie didn’t do anything yesterday but prob filming a tik tok smh this is the wings we gotta to war with 🤦♂️ https://t.co/quB1HLjF1G

Oh, lighten up. It's her birthday.
Also, she may have only hit one three-pointer last night, but Cunningham is averaging over 45 percent from beyond the three-point line for the season.
We're pretty sure she's a better player than whoever "Beasty" is.
@jemelehill is going to hate this https://t.co/LDeg4Xo2wP

True, but what doesn't Jemele Hill hate?
Imagine being so pathetic that this video enrages you. https://t.co/v7fjKzPxhi

It's not just that the Left hates this country and loves being miserable; they DEMAND that everyone else feel the same way, too.
In the real world she's a frikken hero. https://t.co/h1i8Y9gdaI

It's pretty amazing that all it took for Cunningham to win the adoration of most of America was just to say that women and girls deserve their own spaces.
And standing by that common-sense statement.
Sophie Cunningham is a National Treasure! https://t.co/2SH7zOYEHc

Sophie Cunningham climbed onto the bar after the Fever game and sang Toby Keith with everyone there. This is exactly why she has become such a big part of the Fever. She makes being a fan more fun, and Indianapolis clearly loves her for it. https://t.co/Ru2jZIZL0H

That's because, among her many abilities and qualities, she has one called gratitude.
A quality that is alien to most people on the Left.
Sophie Cunningham seems happy all the time and the people that don’t like her seem angry all the time.

Very telling.
And who can blame her for being extra happy on her birthday weekend and after a big team road win?
Well, we know who will blame her, but that reflects on them, not her.
Happy birthday to me 🥰🥰❤️ #IndianaFever #WNBA #FeverNation#LetsGoFever #WNBATwitter #Basketball#WomensBasketball #Hoops#SophieCunninaham #ForTheLoveOfTheGame pic.twitter.com/berkyA9kGV

We wish her a very happy 30th birthday as well, and nuts to all her haters.
The Indiana Fever are playing back-to-back games this weekend, with a game tonight against the Atlanta Dream, so we hope Cunningham didn't have too much fun on her birthday eve.
The only thing better than a win the night before her birthday would be a win on her birthday.
Regardless of the final score today, however, it's awesome to see Cunningham having so much fun and showing her love for the U.S. of A.
