Cunningham isn’t the best player in the WNBA. She has merely spent eight seasons playing in the best women’s basketball league in the world, which apparently isn’t enough to earn respect from two people hosting a "sports" podcast.Then the hosts accused Cunningham of launching a "right-wing grift," plotting a post-basketball conservative career and becoming a Republican "mouthpiece." They also described signs and shirts supporting women's sports as "anti-trans" and suggested that some young girls involved in the movement might lack "critical thinking skills."Did we mention these two women, particularly Wilder, fancy themselves as champions of other women?In 2019, Wilder told the Washington Post, "For my whole career I’ve tried [to] be helpful and supportive of other women in the industry."She sure has a funny way of showing it, huh?ZERO BS. TAKE THE DON'T @ ME PODCAST ON THE ROAD.
