WNBA fan subreddit bans posters from using Sophie Cunningham's name after defense of women's sports

The WNBA and its fans are in a constant struggle to outdo whatever previous record they already set for most ridiculous sports league ever created.

Despite their best efforts and hard work, the WNBA has seen its popularity and general interest increase in recent years thanks primarily to Caitlin Clark .

Clark, who singlehandedly brought ratings and attendance up, to the point where the players now receive significantly better salaries and travel benefits, is widely disliked across the league and by many fans of other teams.

Then, over the last several weeks and months, the self-destructive tendencies and nature of the WNBA organization, its coaches, and fans has reared its ugly head yet again.

This time, their ire has been directed at Sophie Cunningham.

CLUELESS WNBA ATTACKS 'BAD-FAITH' FANS WHO DON'T WANT BIOLOGICAL MEN RUINING WOMEN'S SPORTS What did Cunningham do to deserve this treatment? She made comments publicly supportive of keeping male athletes out of women's sports.

A position shared by 80%-90% of the American public, and 0% of the league's players, coaches, or officials.

Who are preparing for weeks and months of meetings to try and decide on a definition of the word "woman," in the Women's National Basketball Association .

For this unforgivable crime, Cunningham has been booed, faced protests, been criticized by other players, saw opposing coaches wear t-shirts specifically targeted at her.

Her own coach rushed to come to the defense of DiJonai Carrington after Carrington clotheslined her, leading to a bloody mouth.

And now, in perhaps the most ridiculous and explanatory example of the league's fandom, has seen her name banned from the WNBA subreddit.

Seriously.

One Reddit user tried to post about Sophie Cunningham in the r/WNBA subreddit, only to find that they weren't able to use her name or several other abbreviations.

They then messaged the moderators, who then confirmed that this was a purposeful decision and that any further questioning would lean to being banned.
