According to latest rumors, Indiana Fever star Sophie Cunningham is shopping for a publisher for her tell all book. The timely book might put the 6-foot-1 guard, who has 3.7 million Instagram followers, in the focus of a bidding battle.
Cunningham, 29, has earned the nickname “MAGA Barbie” and is well-known for both her aggressive play style and her off-court remarks. In an interview with ESPN last month, Cunningham made remarks about trans athletes that went viral, such as:
“I got a lot of negative feedback about me hating trans… And I’m like, ‘I never once said that.” “I think that I am here to extend love. But I also think with that love is truth, being honest. And I want to protect young girls in a locker room, or young girls in sport who shouldn’t have to go against biological men.”
Protests were triggered by the comments. Stephen A. Smith was one of Cunningham’s defenders. After Cunningham photographed at a Fever vs. Lynx game on August 2 with Riley Gaines, a former college swimmer who has turned into an activist against trans participation in women’s sports, former American soccer star Megan Rapinoe recently criticized Cunningham’s position on trans athletes over the weekend.
Cunningham was traded to the Indiana Fever last year, where he serves as a fearless enforcer for partner Caitlin Clark, a generational star.
According to sources this month, she presently owns two of the top five best-selling WNBA jerseys, and her new Adidas shoes sold out right away.
