Scott Brown on Ruthless: Sophie Cunningham has the guts to challenge men competing in women’s sports
Former US senator and New Hampshire Senate candidate Scott Brown praised Indiana Fever player Sophie Cunningham on the Ruthless Podcast for opposing the inclusion of transgender women in women’s sport. The interview links a cultural issue to Brown’s Senate campaign, as he argued that sports bodies such as the WNBA risk losing support over their transgender-athlete policies.
Brown cited his daughter Ayla’s basketball experience, including male practice players, to argue that physical differences matter in elite women’s competition. He is seeking the Republican nomination to replace retiring senator Jeanne Shaheen, facing former senator John Sununu in the 8 September primary; Democrat Chris Pappas is among candidates on the other side ahead of the 3 November general election.
