Sarah Spain Attacks Sophie Cunningham on Podcast Over Trans Athlete Stance, Citing 1 Stalking Case

Summary
Sarah Spain used a recent "Good Game" episode to accuse Indiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham of lacking empathy after Cunningham said girls should not compete against biological males or share locker rooms with them.
Spain also referred to Cunningham as someone who "complains of stalkers," despite a pending Indiana case in which a man faces felony stalking and intimidation charges tied to alleged threats and explicit messages.
In the same episode, Spain argued the WNBA may need a commissioner with a more direct emotional-support role for players, while ESPN reporter Holly Rowe pushed back and called that view "so sexist."
The clash widened the dispute beyond transgender-athlete policy, tying it to how women’s sports figures frame player safety, harassment and whether female leagues should be governed differently from men’s leagues.
