Summary
- Guard reposted a Mike Tyson quote about online disrespect.
- The quote followed backlash over a message on accountability.
- Cunningham has faced criticism regarding her public image.
Indiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham recently shared a reposted quote from Mike Tyson on her Instagram Story, stating, "Social media made y'all way too comfortable with disrespecting people and not getting punched in the face for it." This repost occurred after a message she shared about personal accountability reportedly drew backlash.
The earlier message, shared by entrepreneur Andy Frisella, emphasized focusing on individual behavior rather than solely on election outcomes. Cunningham has openly discussed her frustration with online criticism, especially after an article questioned her public image as a potential liability for the Fever, despite her scoring average.
Cunningham's outspoken stance against transgender women competing in women's sports has previously sparked protests and media attention. She has asserted that her views are not hostile toward transgender individuals. Amidst growing public attention, Cunningham has also reported an increase in alleged stalking concerns and has hired around-the-clock personal security.
