Sophie Cunningham just dropped some truth bombs that might surprise you. She went on Theo Von’s podcast to clear the air about who she is and how the WNBA really works. The Indiana Fever guard told the world that the personal lives of players do not stop the game from being great. According to The Mirror US, she stepped up to answer tough questions about dating and drama in the league. She said the gossip actually helps the show, not hurts it.
Some folks think the drama is too much, but Cunningham sees it differently. She believes the players handle the noise and then get to work. It takes a special kind of focus to leave your personal life at the door. She told the host that the league is fun and the girls are great. “Our league is fun. It truly is, and the girls are great,” Cunningham said on Theo Von’s ‘This Past Weekend’ podcast. That simple statement cuts through all the noise.
Drama Is Part Of The Show
People love a good story, and the WNBA has plenty of them. Cunningham admitted that there is a lot of tea going on behind the scenes. She thinks this makes the product better because everyone knows what is happening. “I do feel like sometimes there’s a lot of tea and drama going on, but for us, that kind of makes it better because you know what’s going on,” she said on the podcast. Fans might not know every detail, but the hardcore ones are always watching. She noted that the fans who really care know the scoop.
When the clock starts, though, the chatter stops. The players are professionals who show up to do their job. She thinks the guys in the NBA have the same issues with their partners. “I’m sure the guys have drama with the same girls they’re messing with. It’s the same thing…” she told the host. It does not matter what is happening off the court when the ball goes up. The game is the thing that matters most to the players.
Respect For Every Choice
Cunningham also made sure to say she has no problem with anyone’s relationships. She clarified her own sexuality after being asked about how many players are lesbians. She believes everyone should be free to live their life. “To each their own, go do what you want,” she said, explaining her stance on other people’s choices. This comes after she spoke about players walking out on the national anthem in the same interview. She has strong views on many things, but she keeps her focus on basketball.
The Indiana Fever guard is now an unrestricted free agent after the 2026 season. She has not decided where she will play next. The Mirror US reported that she is yet to pick her next team.
