Sophie Cunningham EXPLODES About Caitlin Clark's Haters and This Changes Everything

[@thinking6307]

Love it..."Her assists aren't just passes..they are works of art!" Thank You Brook Hoop!

[@arielmunoz9835]

Exactly... They're not just passes their significant passes. Her passes are premeditated she sees them before they happen.

[@blainepeschka8536]

Caitlin didn't need to build a fan base, She brought it.

[@lakelanddentalarts]

I like Sophie. She's not only standing up for the rookies and telling the truth about how great they are, she's become vocal in calling out the horrible officiating that fans have been complaining about too.

[@JaniceOShea]

I also like her....she speaks truth....

[@wesinman2312]

It's like this; I never watched the WNBA UNTIL Caitlin Clark. Now I watch all the time.

Hats off to Sophie! She is not only a top tier WNBA player, has beauty and brains combined, and a perfect example of how the rest of the WNBA players should treat Caitlin. May her tribe increase...

[@junrodas948]

The more the Haters try to hurt Caitlin and make things hard for her, the more her greatness is magnified. And the more Caitlin's greatness is magnified, the more the Haters get Scorned....

[@servicedog2325]

Yes. The hate is the icing on the ceiling-high cake that is CC22's unparalleled rookie year. The contrast btw her unruffled, just wanna play ball attitude and these petty, jealous players, media and league officials just makes every cross court pass and logo 3 that much yummier for all of us.

[@glorialewis8227]

Instead of complaining, raise the caliber your own game!

[@cynthias7299]

As long as she can stay focused and concentrates on her game like she's doing. CC has the energy, talent, and heart to grow the WNBA. The amount of hate against her is sad, but it will make her a legend if she can stay on the path she's on. If more players would stop focusing on self promotion and had Caitlin's dedication to the game, the WNBA could stop worrying about its future.

[@johnmarzak6978]

It’s one of the things that drives great players, like Tom Brady always got hate and when they accused him of cheating her torched the league 🔥

[@danielbarrett8536]

Sophie would get 10 extra open shots a game if she played with Caitlin. She would fit in nicely with Indians.

CC's unstoppable and she'll continue to excel. Every time they double or triple-team her, that only leaves her teammates open for a pass from her.

[@reymundollupar8012]

We admire you Sophie!!you understand the dynamics of CC presence in the league, everyone benefited it all.

[@bobshoe1]

If the jealous vindictive players physically attack Caitlin Clark enough to get her injured so she can’t play, that will be the decline of the WNBA. The only reason I watch the WNBA is to see Caitlin Clark.

[@Keepnthem]

There’s a difference between physicality and assault.

[@JOERANSTRAIGHT]

Her vision on the court is unparalleled in league right now. The revealing part of it is it looks natural and it’s not forced. She just looks for the open player. Unlike some other players that just went out with an injury, she doesn’t believe it’s all about her. She wants her teammates to Score also. It ultimately comes down to winning. Winning changes attitudes and effort.

[@kelisurfs247]

I never watched the wnba because I felt like I was watching a bunch of high school kids playing basketball. When Caitlin Clark came up on my feed, when she was at Iowa State I was amazed at her 3 pointers, her passing and her ability to include her team etc... she was fun to watch. Now, I love watching the Fever play but I HATE all this negativity surrounding her. I'm getting depressed and stressed out. If this doesn't stop I'm out, no matter how good the Fever is. The world is stressful enough, I don't need to get a dose of negative poison while trying to unwind!

[@quasarrad1464]

I hear you, but you don’t have to listen to the hate. Just watch CC play and tune out the noise. Also, it’s Iowa not Iowa State.

[@davidmorris6483]

Sophie could fit nicely. Glad she speaks up.

[@Victor-p1y9u]

Truth and proof are exactly that. It’s on video.

[@rexrice4496]

When Caitlin arrived in the WNBA, she didn't have to create fans, she brought her huge fan base with her. Rookie of the year and league MVP have never happened before. This is going to be fun to watch.

[@jfredq]

Caitlin Clark = Larry Bird

[@barrybarry5803]

Good for you Sophie... speak your truth as you see fit!. I know one thing's for sure... sane people of the World agree with you wholeheartedly!. On a side not, you are a stunningly stunning woman (just an honest observation)

[@ramonpunsalang3397]

Camilla's opportunity to shine and carry the team. The timing of Angel's injury is convenient. It spares her from further comparisons with CC where the disparity in their respective performances was embarrassing.

[@doksh5740]

What a shame that women in WNBA and players, and ESPN cannot celebrate the rising star and the best player in history Caitlin Clark, rather than trying to destroy her. What they are doing to her is disgusting

[@MrNHeneghan]

The WNBA overall player stats are interesting: Caitlin Clark is in 9th place - Chennedy Carter 14th; Taurasi 20th; Diggins-Smith 24; Carrington 29th. The rookie is wiping the floor with them.

[@davidmorris6483]

She won't wilt; she'll continue to get stronger. Good video bro!!!!

[@Dianna485]

Hallelujah! I have been waiting for a straight forward honest post like this, thank you sir!!! Thanks to Caitlin I'm seeing WNBA in a new light and getting to know about more great players. Just wish some would get off the pedestals they put themselves on.

[@lylehutchins916]

Sophie Cunningham sees the light while in the tunnel! She recognises the talent in The Clark Machine, and expresses it! Not letting jealousy cloud her judgment! I praise this superwoman Sophi for her honesty!

[@willtank3146]

Yes ! Ride the wave. One of my favorite sayings. CCis also finding out that the refs seem to be jealous as well. The haters are fouling her so hard and so much , it is obvious , right in our faces. Get it together Refs. Pay attention damn it.

And the tall blonde hair girl plays forward n she it solid too n makes clutch shots too!!! I gotta admit I’m 71 years old n I never watched more than 10 seconds of the WNBA but not this year after I saw Clark almost beat Steph Curry In a fair shooting contest n now I’m searching for fever games all the time I even upgraded my cable programming to get some fever games on CBS sports channel n it’s always a exciting game every game is so cool it’s hard to describe but I don’t want to Miss anymore of her games for real !!!!!!!! It’s like when Sixers got Dr.J n we used to go n watch him live for like ten bucks a ticket n it’s was amazing n Pete Maravich was gotta see TV back In Hugh school but this girl reminds me of that kind of stuff I swear

[@MrMUKATAN]

Cunningham is right, it's ridiculous how some veterans and some fans think that the basketball stars back then are superior, better and nobody from all of the newer players can hold a candle against them which is pure crXp. Basketball is evolving. The way the players back then played is effective in their generation. The curry era saw three point shooting is just like a layup for some players, later on logo shots will be just like a layup too, and smart players must adapt to it (changes)because it is good, and not insist that basketball should be played like in the 80s or 90s, because that's pure cxxp

[@zukiplay]

She got me spending money on her cards haha. CC is awesome and fun to watch. Next level player.

[@kevinhowell5808]

I actually watched a game the other day and it wasn't the fever. I learned about Cardoza during a fever game, and I love her game. She needs to get off the Sky, though. Point is I only saw her because of CC.

[@ck7cu]

I love the change in the women's game....the old VETS are just petty .... we need to push them out the league if they don't want to change.....keep up or stay out of the way!!

You’re right as long as Cardoza is on the Sky with Angel she will not be allowed to shine.

What Catlin Clark has done is turn other WNBA players to focus on their own careers and are realizing that joining forces with C.C. will capture that WNBA title all players strive for. The Indiana Fever may not win the WNBA title this year but, they will next year or year after.

[@johnraymond9170]

This pressure that you think Caitlin has been under since joining the W has been with her since the beginning of her college career. It doesn’t matter who’s writing the headlines, the conversations were all the same. The defenses were still designed to stop her, and they couldn’t. The coaches in the W as a whole are not better than a lot of coaches she played against in college. A lot of the players she played against are players she’s playing against now in the W and those numbers are only going to grow from year to year. Caitlin isn’t playing the game against someone else, she’s playing against her own expectations, the great ones always do. Every time she walks on the floor she thinks she’s the best player out there, whether she is or isn’t doesn’t matter, it’s just who she’s always been.

CC came into the league bringing all of her talents. The league was asleep so with her attitude, I want to win games not pussyfoot around, she lit up the place. With her soccer/ football knowledge she brought the understanding where her team mates are at any moment she was able to use their talents to make this team, win or loose the most watched team in history. She has a game like Larry B total commitment and incredible skill. Way to go girl, we can’t wait to see where this girl is going, she is making her team mates produce something special.

[@Watchman70]

Despite her incredible record-breaking season, her best achievement has been taking the high road by ignoring their overt racism and hatred. She's endured their shade and remained noncommittal. Clark is a class act and true emerging champion. The jealousy, racism and hatred leveraged against her has only sullied those who're all talk!

[@davidnetherway4734]

its not just miss clark she is just 1 player its the whole team the fever is growing as a whole yes miss clark is a huge part of that but not the only part. its great the rest of the fever are learning to trust their up and coming star enough to change their whole team dynamic to include miss clark and come out the other side as a far better team. miss clark makes plays but they would fall far short if other players didn't also make changes to make her plays look as good as they are. standing ovation for the whole fever team i cant wait for the playoffs its going to be intense

[@timkiyu1629]

Clark took a few games to adjust but learned quickly how to best use her style of play. Not only is she playing well but notice her team mates are making some great passes and playing at a high level. Their team spirit is extraordinary and i think not only Clark but the whole Fever team will change women's basketball for the better.
