Summary
McNabb, 21, said Sophie Cunningham's willingness to speak out on women's sports is "courageous," arguing the Fever guard is being vilified for stating what many athletes already believe.
In the OutKick interview, McNabb sharply criticized Minnesota Lynx coach Cheryl Reeve for backing transgender inclusion, calling it hypocritical to demand more opportunities for women while allowing biological males into female categories.
Caitlin Clark's voice could be decisive, McNabb said, because the WNBA star's reach with young girls and status as the league's top player would give unusual weight to any public stance on Title IX.
McNabb tied that argument to her own case: after a traumatic brain injury and partial right-side paralysis in a high school volleyball match, she took the issue to Congress and said meaningful health progress came only after 3 years.
