Martina Navratilova Stirs Debate by Backing Sophie Cunningham's Controversial Stance

Tennis legend Martina Navratilova is lending her unfettered public support to Sophie Cunningham as the basketball player continues to make headlines for her anti-trans views.

“Sophie is not ANTI-TRANS- rather she is PRO-WOMEN!!!,” Navratilova, 69, wrote via X on Sunday, August 2. “Wrong headline!”

The former tennis player reshared a post from the Telegraph, in which the news organization referred to Cunningham, 29, as “basketball’s new anti-trans MAGA poster girl.”
