Sophie Cunningham, teammate of Caitlin Clark, called out the WNBA for the constant attacks on Caitlin Clark. Cunningham launched a withering attack on the WNBA and its referees after the Indiana Fever star was punched in the throat by an opponent this week.
Last year, Cunningham came to Clark’s rescue after Clark was brutally attacked by three opposing players in a game.
Cunningham was traded to the Indiana Fever in the 2025 off-season. She showed what a great move that was for all involved last year. Cunningham became the enforcer at the end of one game as she took down Connecticut Sun’s Jacy Sheldon with 47 seconds left.

This was in retaliation for Sheldon and the Sun’s harassment and assaults of Caitlin Clark during the game. The Sun players bounced Clark around like a beach ball. (Clark ended up getting a technical foul on this series of events – wth – the WNBA refs are horrible).
Imagine not kicking Marina Mabrey out after she assaults the face of the league? Just a common tech? Sick league @WNBA Also shouldn’t have been a tech on Caitlin since that girl got in her face after gouging her eyes. pic.twitter.com/bnqKCt9voO

Cunningham looked like she liked what she was doing when she threw Sheldon to the court just like a rag doll.
Cunningham reportedly received a black belt when she was a young girl. She showed it in the exchange with Sheldon.

There are other reasons many fans like Cunningham. She was the perfect trade for the Fever, the fans, and the league.

In a recent game, Cunningham made fun of a Sun player – this went viral.
The fact that Sophie triggered almost an entire league with just a simple point of a finger is just crazy motion 😂😂😂😂😂 pic.twitter.com/7paK3NxFLC

This week, Caitlin Clark was brutally assaulted again during a game. She suffered injuries and was unable to play last night. The assaults continue and the WNBA, the refs, management, its parent – the NBA, and players, and her coach seemingly promote it.

Cunningham shared the following after Clark’s assault this week.
Sophie Cunningham and Caitlin Clark:
“ unfortunately this type of sh*t happens every game to her. And the League and the refs do absolutely nothing about it.”
“ they are definitely targeting her & the league and the refs do nothing to protect her”
