Sophie Cunningham has once again found herself at the center of the WNBA conversation, with an old podcast appearance resurfacing and drawing renewed attention.
The Indiana Fever guard has remained in the spotlight since her comments on transgender athletes in women’s sports sparked a heated debate across the WNBA and beyond. This time, however, the spotlight is on comments Cunningham made about the culture inside WNBA locker rooms. “What they (the NBA players) do and what they talk about and all that doesn’t even come close to how, like, how I don’t know, like, we’re wild.
A clip from her appearance on the “Like a Farmer Podcast” has resurfaced online, with the Fever star offering an unfiltered comparison between the WNBA and NBA environments. “I think what people don’t understand is like, the WNBA is so inappropriate,” she said. We say some crazy, crazy stuff, and just like, we’re just a fun time over in the W,” Cunningham said. Cunningham’s comments last month pushed her into the middle of a heated WNBA debate after she said she wanted “biological men” excluded from women’s sports and locker rooms.
