Sophie Cunningham has already given fans an unfiltered look inside the WNBA, and many people completely missed it.

Sophie Cunningham always seems to be in the headlines for her outspoken views on transgender athletes in women’s sports that she made months ago now.

However, she’s improving on the court too. The Indiana Fever tipped Cunningham for the sixth player of the year award in the WNBA, while she’s gone up four ratings on 2K as well.

And her social media following on Instagram continues to go through the roof, with viral clips coming out all the time involving the Indiana Fever guard.

Sophie Cunningham makes WNBA and NBA comparison

A newly resurfaced podcast clip is currently making the rounds, offering a candid glance into the surprisingly unfiltered reality of WNBA locker rooms.

Sophie Cunningham appeared on the Like a Farmer podcast in February, where she spoke on a team culture that is far looser and more chaotic than the public realizes.

She said: “I think what people don’t understand is, like, the WNBA is so inappropriate,” Cunningham said. “We’ve had people who work for the WNBA, and they go to the NBA, and NBA guys, and what they do and what they talk about doesn’t even come close to how, like, how, I don’t know. Like, we’re wild.

“We say some crazy, crazy stuff. And just like, we’re just a fun time over in the W. I don’t know. And I can’t, I can’t repeat a lot of things that I’ve said.”
