Sophie Cunningham says she’s unconcerned that the rallies against transgender participation in women's sports that have accompanied the Indiana’s Fever’s recent games are a distraction for the team. Cunningham made the comments before the Fever’s game against the Portland Fire. Outside, a group rallied for the second straight game in support of Cunningham and her comments about transgender participation in youth sports. Portland’s rally came after a similar rally for Cunningham earlier in the week before the Fever’s game at the Seattle Storm. Both rallies only attracted about two dozen participants.
