Sophie Cunningham wears "WOMAN" hat at Missouri game as Colorado football faces setbacks
University of Missouri football saw sophomore forward Sophie Cunningham wear a hat bearing the word "WOMAN" during a homecoming game, while Colorado head coach Deion Sanders dismissed several players after a locker-room incident, leaving the Buffs at a 2-3 start to the season.
Sophie Cunningham, a forward for the University of Missouri, appeared at the team's homecoming football game on Saturday wearing a hat that displayed the word "WOMAN" on the front and the phrase "No Cis, just ..." on the side. The apparel was noted by observers as a statement amid ongoing discussions about gender issues in sports.
Colorado head coach Deion Sanders addressed a recent locker-room incident following the Buffs' loss to Northwestern by removing multiple players from the roster. Sanders said, "You know what it is. If I say it, you’re gonna run with it, you know darn well what it is," when asked about the team's offensive struggles. Colorado currently holds a 2-3 record this season.
