Caitlin Clark declined to say whether she agrees with Indiana Fever teammate Sophie Cunningham’s position on transgender athletes, instead directing the policy debate toward sports leagues and governing organizations.
Clark Left the Policy Question to Sports OfficialsClark was asked how the Fever were navigating the attention generated by Cunningham’s call to exclude transgender girls and women from girls’ and women’s sports.
“I think there is room for absolutely everyone here, and I think there is room to love everyone,” Cunningham told reporters.
The Associated Press reported that it was the third consecutive Fever game to attract a demonstration connected to her comments.
