The Indiana Fever shut down a question about Sophie Cunningham's comments on women's sports before abruptly ending a postgame press conference.
After Aliyah Boston answered a separate question, an OutKick reporter attempted to ask Boston about Cunningham's recent remarks on transgender athletes in women's sports. A Fever representative quickly jumped in, saying, "We’re going to wrap up here."
The exchange was also omitted from the Fever's official YouTube upload of the press conference.
I’ve heard the saying that “God gives his toughest battles to his toughest soldiers.” But when I see the disciples that Jesus chose and suffered for His name sake, I don’t see Him choosing the “toughest soldiers”, as I learn about men and women in the past and even today who have laid down their lives for Jesus, once again I don’t see God choosing His “toughest soldiers.” But I see a strong and mighty God choosing weak men and woman, and empowering them by His Holy Spirit to face some of the toughest battles and be used for His glory.
I once thought I was a “tough soldier” until I met Jesus, I then realized that I’m so weak without Him, and apart from Jesus I can’t do anything. I need Jesus daily. The only way that I can truly become who God wants me to be and truly do what God wants me to do, is not by my power not by my might, but only by The Spirit of The Living God. Thank you Jesus.
“Sometimes they want to hush you.”
That’s how Indiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham described what it’s like to openly live out her Christian faith in the WNBA. Shortly after publicly sharing her baptism and living her faith openly, she came under criticism for defending girls’ sports.
Faith-driven athletes should never be hushed from openly living out their faith and convictions.

I truly believe there is a safe space and love for EVERYBODY. Biological girls, biological boys, trans women, and trans men. Everyone is welcome at my table! You can disagree and still be kind.
Bravo to those girls for standing up for what they believe. You’ll be hearing from me soon💕 yay for gifts.
Truly embarrassing of the co-owner. Unfortunately shows the type of leader she is.
Just weeks after publicly sharing her baptism and Christian faith, Sophie Cunningham faced criticism after speaking out in defense of girls’ sports.
She later said there are more Christians in the WNBA than many people realize���but many stay quiet because, as she put it, “sometimes they want to hush you.”
Open about the faith that shapes her life, Cunningham stood by her convictions. And despite the controversy, her first signature Adidas shoe sold out in hours.
Faith-driven athletes shouldn’t have to choose between living out their faith and succeeding in their profession.
Do you stand with faith-driven athletes like Sophie Cunningham? #wnba
.@Riley_Gaines_ applauds WNBA star @sophaller for standing firm on protecting women's sports after Cunningham doubled down on her stance despite backlash.
Cunningham said, "I said what I said," adding that she'll "always believe" it's important to protect women and girls in sports. Gaines praised Cunningham's comments, calling her "uncancelable" and thanking her for speaking out.
Indiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham is inspiring a wave of young female athletes to speak out on fairness in women's sports — and they're not backing down from the backlash.
Major League Baseball was required to respond today to an investigative subpoena issued by Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier.
The investigation follows MLB’s response after three San Francisco Giants pitchers wrote Bible verses on their caps during a Pride-themed game. The Attorney General is seeking records to determine whether MLB applied its policies consistently to Christian expression. The subpoena lists July 23, 2026 as the required production date.
As of this post, neither the Florida Attorney General’s Office nor MLB appears to have publicly disclosed what was submitted or what comes next.
According to a recent survey by The Christian Post, 29 of the 30 Major League Baseball teams host a Pride Night, while only about 15 also host a Faith & Family Night.
Faith-driven athletes and fans have always been part of the game. More opportunities to celebrate them through Faith & Family Nights would be a welcome addition for communities across the country.
Would you like to see your local @MLB team host a Faith & Family Night?

Today, we’re taking the next step. Faith Driven Consumer has sent a formal letter to Commissioner Rob Manfred and Major League Baseball’s leadership requesting a meeting and asking one simple question: “Will Major League Baseball Welcome, Embrace, Celebrate, and Affirm Faith Driven Consumers equally?” https://t.co/9KDZUOATgy #mlb #faithdriven

🇺🇸 Happy Independence Day!
As we celebrate 250 years of American independence, we’re grateful for the freedom to live out our faith and to worship God without fear. May we never take that blessing for granted.
"@FaithConsumer asked MLB for an official statement on its position toward Christians.... the first of many institutions Faith Driven Consumer plans to reach out to under its ... 'Faith Equality Index'"; "[I]nstead of boycotting those who say no, we buycott those that say yes"
We were recently featured in @NRO as the publication explored our growing “Add-Us-In” movement to encourage equal engagement for Faith Driven Consumers across the marketplace, workplace, and public culture. Check it out: https://t.co/6Xp6q0BiBo
Here's the letter that San Francisco Giants President Larry Baer sent to fans that reached out since Pride Night.
STOP PANDERING, LARRY.
This night was objectively anti-Christian & he's pretending the Christian players who wrote Bible verses on their hats are the problem.
You invited, partnered with, & promoted a drag queen named "Peaches Christ" and Mike Krukow shamed the pitchers publicly.
Will you reach out to the Christian community too?
You owe an apology to Landen Roupp, Ryan Walker, JT Brubaker, & Sam Hentges, as well as all Christian Giants fans.
Shameful response here.
A woman was ejected from the Detroit Tigers stadium because she was wearing a shirt that said "Jesus over Pride." Baseball staffers say there had been complaints about the message. MLB loves the drag queens -- but not so much Jesus. Read more: https://t.co/yPeUtg1M8R
.@MLB Commissioner writes to me and admits they were wrong to threaten the Giants players over Bible verses and promises never to fine or discipline these players - or any players for their religious beliefs
Happy Father’s Day!
“The righteous who walks in his integrity—blessed are his children after him!”

Today we celebrate fathers whose faith, integrity, and example leave a lasting legacy for the generations that follow.
