Sophie Cunningham Refuses To Apologize For Her Rumored Politics
The Spun ^ | Jul 2, 2025 | Andrew Holleran

Sophie Cunningham, the Indiana Fever guard, has been making all sorts of headlines lately.

The Fever guard went viral last month for being Caitlin Clark's "enforcer" during a game against the Connecticut Sun. She decked Sun guard Jacy Sheldon late in the game after Clark had gotten hit in the eye earlier in the contest. Cunningham has since become a fan favorite among those who support Clark.

Cunningham, who starred collegiately at Missouri - and began her WNBA career in Phoenix - has since become one of the most-followed players in the league. Cunningham now has one million followers on Instagram and she's landed some impressive endorsement deals because of it.

But Cunningham also went viral this week for a controversial statement in the wake of the WNBA's expansion plans. The league is planning to expand to Detroit, Cleveland and Philadelphia in the coming years.

"I don't know how excited people are to be going to Detroit," Cunningham said on Tuesday, in response to the WNBA's expansion announcement.

"There's more opportunities, so I get that aspect, but I also think you want to listen to your players too. Where do they want to play? Where are they going to get excited to play and draw fans?" Cunningham added. "I'm not so sure what the though process is there."

Cunningham, unsurprisingly, was criticized by many for her comments, including the City of Detroit and the City of Cleveland.

But Cunningham is used to taking heat on social media.

The WNBA guard has been accused of being MAGA by many on social media. She's been referred to as "MAGA Barbie" by many on the left. Cunningham has been spotted following some right-leaning figures on social media.

A lot of Freepers think WNBA players are all unattractive, but the Fever’s Lexie Hull is probably the most attractive, and Jacy Sheldon is very attractive, the one mentioned in this article. And Sophie Cunningham. Not that Caitlin Clark isn’t.

So I now am a fan of a WBNA player?
That seemed an unlikely occurrence, but there you go. Yay Sophie Cunningham.

I totally agree with your post. I don’t particularly pay attention to the WNBA, but I am a huge NCAA men’s and women’s basketball fan. There truly are a lot of beautiful young women playing college basketball, but most of them don’t wear a lot of makeup while they play, naturally, so they just look like big, sweaty messes the whole time. However, there has been a rise over the last several years of some of the players (mostly black) who wear full makeup, including false eyelashes, during games. They are making an effort to look good/glamorous the whole time. I don’t blame them at all, and I’m guessing that plenty of them carry that habit over to the WNBA. They’re not all lesbians. So many are REALLY tall, though, and are probably self-conscious about looking like big butch lesbians. I’d be wearing makeup and trying to look feminine, too. Of course, there are the lucky ones who look pretty while playing bball, even with minimal or no makeup on.

Oh no...that's against the WNBA rules. You can only be lesbian and a leftist with bonus points for being a transgender individual.

It is nice to see an attractive non-lesbian playing with balls.
