WNBA star Sophie Cunningham climbed onto a bar at a downtown Indianapolis honky-tonk Friday night and belted out Toby Keith\u2019s \u201cCourtesy of the Red, White and Blue\u201d with a roomful of Indiana Fever fans, hours after her team beat the Dallas Wings.<\/p>\n

Cunningham had stopped in at Clayton\u2019s Country Bar after the Fever\u2019s 98-87 win over the Wings at Gainbridge Fieldhouse. Country singer Clayton Anderson spotted her at the end of the bar, grabbed a microphone and introduced her to the crowd \u2014 \u201cLadies and gentlemen, my friend, America\u2019s sweetheart, Sophie Cunningham!\u201d \u2014 before the two climbed up onto the bar to sing the post-9\/11 anthem\u2019s closing verse together.<\/p>\n

Cunningham took the last verse and the final chorus as the bar sang along loudly enough to drown her out in stretches, pulling up a pant leg and kicking the air on the chorus\u2019s best-known line.<\/p>\n

\u201cHey, Uncle Sam put your name at the top of his list, and the Statue of Liberty started shaking her fist. And the eagle will fly and it\u2019s gonna be hell, when you hear Mother Freedom start ringing her bell,\u201d she continued, nearly drowned out by the other voices in the bar. \u201cAnd it will feel like the whole wide world is raining down on you, brought to you courtesy of the Red, White, and Blue.\u201d<\/p>\n

Keith wrote the song in the weeks after the September 11 attacks, scrawling the lyrics around the edges of the back of a fantasy football sheet in about 20 minutes. He has said the song was as much about his father \u2014 Hubert \u201cH.K.\u201d Covel, an Army veteran who lost his right eye in the service and was killed in a car crash in March 2001 \u2014 as it was about the attacks. He did not originally intend to release it as a single, and for a time only played it for military audiences.<\/p>\n

He recounted the song\u2019s turning point in an interview with country music outlet The Boot:<\/p>\n

\u201cI was at the Pentagon, playing for a bunch of Marines that were shipping out to Afghanistan for the first time \u2026 I said, \u2018I\u2019m going to play this song.

But at the end of the day, I was like, \u2018If it means that much to those guys, then I don\u2019t care. I\u2019ll do it.\u2019 And that\u2019s when we finally decided we were going to release it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cunningham, for her part, has been the focus of a lot of media attention in recent weeks, primarily because she has repeatedly defended women and girls and their right to have sex-specific spaces \u2014 whether those be on sports teams or in locker rooms.<\/p>\n

Her comments have drawn rallies outside at least three Fever games, with demonstrators on both sides of the issue turning out \u2014 supporters in \u201cThank you Sophie\u201d and XX-XY Athletics shirts alongside activists chanting for transgender inclusion.<\/p>\n

Cunningham has been at the center of a national fight since ESPN published a profile on July 21 in which she said she wants \u201cto protect young girls in a locker room, or young girls in sport who shouldn\u2019t have to go against biological men.\u201d<\/p>\n

She has repeatedly pushed back on being cast as a political figure, telling ESPN she is \u201cvery much in the middle,\u201d though she has not budged on the underlying position: \u201cI said what I said. I think it\u2019s kind of common sense.\u201d<\/p>\n
