Navratilova Defends Cunningham on Trans Sports | Durham News
Description
Tennis icon Martina Navratilova is defending basketball star Sophie Cunningham amid controversy over her comments on transgender athletes, calling her “pro-women” not “anti-trans.” At 69, Navratilova took to social media to challenge the narrative that Cunningham opposes trans inclusion in sports, arguing the debate matters deeply beyond the WNBA. Cunningham, 29, stands by her stance—calling it common sense to protect children and biological women’s rights—while acknowledging she’ll face criticism for speaking her mind. The clash underscores a wider cultural and athletic reckoning over gender identity in sports.
