Sophie Cunningham, a teammate of Caitlin Clark, has been called ‘wildly unprofessional’ for sharing her true feelings about her former team, the Phoenix Mercury, on her podcast.
Background
Cunningham played for the Mercury before joining the Indiana Fever last year. She recently discussed her experiences with the team on her ‘Show Me Something’ podcast, stating that ‘no one’ likes the Mercury and that internal people within the organization feel the same way.
The comments came after a hard foul by Alyssa Thomas on Caitlin Clark, which was initially uncalled but later reviewed and upgraded to a Flagrant 2, resulting in Thomas’ suspension. The Mercury also faced criticism for a since-deleted social media post that poked fun at the incident.
Reaction
USA TODAY WNBA reporter Meaghan L. Hall criticized Cunningham’s comments, calling them ‘wildly unprofessional’ and stating that there is no scenario where a player should speak negatively about an organization.
