Steven McBee Jr. Backs Sophie Cunningham in Women's Sports Row, Blasts 1 Bravo Co-Star

1 articles · Updated · Fox News · Aug 14

Summary

  • Steven McBee Jr. used Tomi Lahren's show to defend Indiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham, praising her for standing by her view that men should stay out of women's sports.
  • McBee argued men should not drive the debate because female athletes face the consequences, saying the issue should be decided by women rather than filtered through partisan politics.
  • West Wilson, Cunningham's podcast co-host and a fellow Bravo personality, had criticized her after she called excluding men from women's sports "common sense" and later doubled down.
  • The clash extends a broader culture-war fight around transgender athletes, with the WNBA—and one of its most recognizable players—becoming a prominent flashpoint.
