NFL legend Brian Urlacher has expressed his admiration for WNBA player Sophie Cunningham, who recently stated that young girls should not have to compete against biological men in sports.

Cunningham’s Comments

Cunningham’s comments have sparked a heated debate, with many praising her for speaking out on the issue. Urlacher, a former Chicago Bears linebacker, told Fox News Digital that he follows the transgender-athlete issue closely and was ecstatic to hear Cunningham’s comments.

Urlacher praised Cunningham for standing by her sentiments, saying, ‘She just says what’s true. She says common-sense things, and she gets so much backlash.’ He also noted that Cunningham probably took a risk in expressing her opinion, given that her peers are largely liberal or part of the gay community.

Support for Cunningham

Cunningham has received support online from various Republican lawmakers and advocates for women’s sports, including Sens. Ted Cruz and Eric Schmitt. She has also stated that she is not a very political person, but she has beliefs and morals that she will always stand on.
