Sophie Cunningham goes OFF on Aces star A’ja Wilson for getting in a heated confrontation with a fan for pointing at her, claiming she should have been SUSPENDED, & DEFENDS the fan for simply being passionate about his favorite team 😳👀
“Us women in sports yell from the rooftops that we want equality, that we want to be treated like the men, we want all this stuff & we deserve all these things… But if you’re asking for all these new fans to come, and they come and do something a sports fan would probably do if you’re on the opposing team. And then we’re gonna go for them for just pointing saying you fouled? GROW UP… That coulda caused for a suspension, but she’s like the Lebron James of our league, so of course they’re not gonna suspend her.”
