The WNBA team that mocked Sophie Cunningham can barely win a game, Tony Romo limbers up & MLB’s Abby Labar!
An OutKick "Nightcaps" column rounds up several sports and culture stories, headlined by criticism of a WNBA team's poor form after it appeared to mock Indiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham. The piece frames this within the wider WNBA storyline around Cunningham and Caitlin Clark, including a rally supporting Cunningham that drew a counterprotest, a Seattle Storm player wearing a trans rights shirt ahead of a Fever game, and continued political attention on the league from a Texas lawmaker.
The column also touches on Caitlin Clark scoring 32 points to help the Fever complete a season sweep of the Storm, former NFL quarterback Tony Romo's field sobriety test being likened to an NFL combine drill, and a mention of MLB's Abby Labar. As a daily digest, it compiles short items from across sport rather than one single news event, with the WNBA team's struggles and the Cunningham-related culture war coverage as the throughline.
