Sophie Cunningham, Trans Athletes & the Fight Over Fairness in Women’s Sports

The debate over transgender athletes in women’s sports isn’t going away — but has the conversation become far bigger and more hostile than the actual issue warrants? On today’s SportsWrap w/Jason Page, Jason examines the latest controversy surrounding Sophie Cunningham and the discussion over transgender athletes in women’s sports. Robert Littal of Black Sports Online joins the show to discuss competitive fairness, the rhetoric surrounding transgender athletes and whether Cunningham’s public actions match her stated position. Plus, Stephen A. Smith and Michael Wilbon are suddenly taking shots at one another, Kawhi Leonard finds himself back in controversy, and Sam Yarnell makes a special Friday appearance to break down the return of NFL preseason football. Then Brian Twining of Bleacher Nation previews and handicaps this weekend’s NASCAR race in Iowa. Jason also hits the wild finish between the Las Vegas Aces and Indiana Fever, the red-hot Boston Red Sox and more from a packed Friday edition of SportsWrap.
