Sophie Cunningham’s New Shoes Sell Out in Hours After Her Stand Against Wokeness
First, Sophie Cunningham dished out common sense on the subject of men playing in women’s sports.
And then the public weighed in, making it clear that even if Cunningham made WNBA execs weak-kneed, the Indiana Fever guard certainly connected with fans, because on Friday morning, her shoes sold out within hours of their debut.
“There was buzz around the sneakers, but a near sell-out on release day seemed unlikely. But in less than 24 hours, the shoes have sold out at adidas,” Sports Illustrated reported.
“I said what I said. I think it’s kind of common sense,” Cunningham said in a video posted to X when asked about her position.
“And I think I’ll always believe in that. I think it’s really important to protect children, and that’s little girls who are also involved in that category. I stand on what I said, and I will always believe that,” she said.
“When it comes just to protecting women in sports and young girls in sports, I feel very strongly about that. I think that’s why you have Title IX,” she said, referring to the legislation requiring colleges that offer sports for men to offer them for women.
