Sophie Cunningham Hit With Third Fine Over WNBA Officiating Comments
Outkick ^ | August 20, 2025 | Amber Harding

Stop me if you've heard this one before: the WNBA has fined Sophie Cuningham for publicly criticizing the league's officiating.

The Indiana Fever guard revealed on Tuesday's episode of her Show Me Something podcast that she has received a third fine from the WNBA after she suggested that Dallas Wings rookie Paige Bueckers receives special treatment from refs.

"I’m officially 3-for-3 on being fined by the WNBA," Cunningham said. "They didn’t like my comments on Paige Bueckers."

The comments came during last week's episode, right after Bueckers and the Wings beat the Fever in Indiana.

Well, she’s on the bench for the rest of the season. All leagues fine players for criticizing officiating. But given how little WNBA players make, it’s probably more painful.

At least she’s outspoken (CC, take notes).

If a WNBA star falls in the forest, does it make a sound?

For a moment all I saw was ‘hit with’ and assumed another green ‘banana’ had found it’s mark.

Everyone knows that she’s totally innocent - 100% not guilty.

The issue here is that the WNBA has been outrageously racist. Imagine Jackie Robinson getting a fastball thrown at his head in every at-bat... and then getting a called strike. That’s what the white women in the WNBA are facing. And every corporation in America is lining up to make the worst of the bean-ballers the face of the WNBA, despite the fact that the only thing she’s known for is throwing about 30% from the line.

She probably makes a multiple of her salary off of clicks every time she gets fined.

I keep seeing WNBA commercials on Prime and they over-show that ghetto trash Angel Reece in every one. In fact, they removed a white girl hitting a three pointer at the end and replaced it with another ghetto skank. So I also believe the league is racist.
