Sophie Cunningham Sounds Off on Caitlin Clark's Treatment in Video, Calls on WNBA to Protect Star
Bleacher Report ^ | June 27, 2026 | Zach Bachar

Posted on 06/27/2026 3:42:32 PM PDT by MinorityRepublican

Indiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham isn't pleased with the way teammate Caitlin Clark has been officiated as of late.

"Unfortunately, this type of ---- happens every single game to her and the league and the refs do absolutely nothing about it," Cunningham said on her Show Me Something podcast (2:41 mark).

"You see the videos of literally kneeing and cheap-shotting C in the throat," she added. "If she did that to any of our teammates we would be pissed. But they're definitely targeting her and the league and the refs do nothing to protect her."

RE: Do what the NHL does - have an enforcer or two.

Problem solved.

The enforcer Hanson Brothers in Slapshot:
“What do you think? Should we do what coach says?”
“Yeah, let’s do it. It’s just old time hockey.” 🏒⚡🏒

RE: MLB....

Like Jackie Robinson being assaulted in various ways during games.

The most famous spiking incident occurred on August 20, 1947, when St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Enos “Country” Slaughter intentionally spiked Robinson’s right foot/ankle while running out a grounder at first base. The play caused a deep gash and bleeding.

Pitchers frequently threw high and tight at Robinson to intimidate him. Opposing pitchers were known to target his head and wrists, a common tactic used by pitchers attempting to drive African American players out of the league.

If I had power over the Fever organization, I would sign a big hulking trans, whose only skill is enforcement. There must be some big strong chick who will kick ass and chew bubble gum.

Oh I dunno, maybe call a foul or two. I have seen some of these fouls against Clark ... should be formal charges pressed for some of them.

The refs are employees of the league. They are doing what the league wants them to do.

Wow, what a coincidence. Two Sophie Cunninghams both married to two Virginia Murdochs. Who would have thunk?

I’d like to see Caitlin KO the next racist bitch that purposely and aggressively fouls her. Then she needs to challenge the ref who allowed it and then sue the league for not holding the refs accountable.

“How would that work?”

Call flagrant fouls and eject the players from the game.

Pretty simple really.

Get a giant thug of a man, put a wig on him, and call him a woman....and let him (”her”) go wild.
