Explosion in the WNBA! Sophie Cunningham, an escort of the Indiana Fever, has unleashed a storm with her statements without filter against the referees of the league, accusing them of not protecting the star Caitlin Clark. In an interview after the match against the Connecticut Sun on June 17, Cunningham did not keep anything: “It is an accumulation of years of not protecting the star player from the WNBA. If the referees do not do so, I will protect my companions.” His words, after a viral altercation where he defended Clark with a flagrant foul, have set fire to the networks.

The incident occurred when Jacy Sheldon hit Clark in the eye, and Marina Mabrey knocked her down. Cunningham responded by pulling Sheldon to the ground, which earned him an expulsion and fines of $ 400. Fans exploded in X, some calling it “heroin” and others asking for her expulsion from the League. His popularity shot, winning 700,000 followers in Tiktok in days.

Cunningham, known as Clark’s “bodyguard” has put the WNBA in check. Her “three milk” shirt, with cartoons from her, Clark and Lexie Hull, sold out after the incident. While Clark, with 19.9 points and 8.7 assists per game, deal with injuries, Cunningham demands justice: “Enough of ignoring our star!” Will this change the way the WNBA protects its players?
