“They said I was just having fun… now they’re trying to erase me.” WNBA SLAPS Sophie Cunningham with SUDDEN punishment over viral TikTok video – league ACCUSED of hypocrisy as fans RALLY behind her and demand answers for the shocking decision
Sophie Cunningham thought she was sharing a lighthearted moment. Instead, the WNBA delivered a harsh blow that no one saw coming. After posting a playful TikTok that went viral overnight, the league swiftly handed down an unexpected punishment—leaving fans outraged and insiders stunned. Many are now questioning what really triggered the response, and whether the league is using double standards when it comes to personality and freedom off the court. Has Cunningham become a scapegoat—or is there more behind the scenes than meets the eye?

Indiana Fever star Sophie Cunningham was issued a fine for calling out the WNBA referees in a viral TikTok video.
Sophie Cunningham has emerged as a fan favorite in her first season with Indiana, thanks to her new role as Caitlin Clark’s enforcer. Cunningham left her mark in the June 17 game against the Connecticut Sun, where she went after Jacy Sheldon minutes after the latter poked Clark in the eye.
The scuffle led to ejections for Cunningham, Sheldon and Lindsay Allen, though none of the players were suspended. Cunningham was fined $400 for her actions.
Fast forward a month, and Sophie Cunningham has now been issued a second fine for calling out the officials in a TikTok video. Cunningham announced in an X/Twitter post that the said TikTok video led to a $500 fine from the league office.
Cunningham was lip-syncing a line from Sabrina Carpenter’s hit song, “Manchild.” Cunningham used the caption “@ some refs” with the lyric “Stupid Or is it slow? Maybe it’s useless?” playing:
After the incident with Sheldon and the Sun, Sophie Cunningham revealed that she landed an endorsement deal with Ring, a home security company. $900 in fines isn’t pocket change, but we’re sure Cunningham isn’t too worried about fines for sticking to her style of play as an outspoken enforcer.

The Fever are 12-12 through their first 24 games this season, holding down the seventh playoff spot. They’re half a game up on the eighth-seeded Washington Mystics, but only one up on the Golden State Valkyries, who are the top team outside the playoff picture.
Indiana will try to snap a two-game losing skid when they host the Las Vegas Aces on Thursday evening.
