Payton McNabb, a defender of Title IX, recently praised WNBA player Sophie Cunningham and voiced disagreement with Minnesota Lynx coach Cheryl Reeve’s stance on transgender athlete inclusion. She also discussed the impact of Caitlin Clark's emergence in women’s basketball.
McNabb applauded Cunningham for speaking out against the inclusion of transgender athletes in women’s sports, calling her courageous. According to Fox News, McNabb stated that Cunningham “is one of the few players who has actually spoken up and said something about it.” This comes after Cunningham publicly expressed concerns regarding fairness in women's basketball with the presence of transgender athletes.
McNabb sharply criticized Cheryl Reeve’s position on allowing biological males to compete in women’s sports. She specifically took issue with Reeve stating that anyone who disagrees with her view is “bigoted.” McNabb countered this, saying, “To just immediately label someone bigoted for having a different opinion…that's not how you have a conversation.”
Finally, McNabb highlighted the significance of Caitlin Clark’s influence on women’s basketball. She explained that Clark’s voice carries weight and can help bring attention to important issues within the sport, including concerns about fairness and the integrity of Title IX. “Caitlin has a platform now,” McNabb said, “and she's going to be able to speak up.”
