Former WNBA player Sydney Colson used her podcast to criticise white players and fans for their views on transgender athletes in women's sports.

Fox News reports that Sydney Colson, a former WNBA bench player, used her podcast 'Unsupervised with Syd & TP' to target white colleagues in the league over their positions on transgender athletes in women's sports. She specifically addressed former teammate Sophie Cunningham and other white players, telling them to stop expressing their views on the issue.

Colson argued that players who do not publicly oppose trans athletes competing in women's sports lose the respect of their peers.

The outlet notes that Colson also directed criticism at white Fever fans in Indianapolis over related matters.
