During a conversation with Caleb Pressley for Sundae Conversation, the host asked if\u00a0she was getting paid which she replied: &#8220;Oh, you know, just barely, but we\u2019re still surviving.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Pressley responded:\u00a0&#8220;If the WNBA screws you, you\u2019ll find a Plan B.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Cunningham laughed before she corrected him, responding, &#8220;Not Plan B. Project B.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Pressley continued to get some details out of Cunningham, asking her if she was considering playing over Saudi Arabia. However, it doesn&#8217;t seem as though that is on the radar for Cunningham as she doesn&#8217;t think Saudi Arabia will be giving women athletes millions of dollars to play in their league.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;No Saudi money involved,&#8221; she said.<\/p>\n<p>Pressley then asked if she would consider starting her own OnlyFans for financial compensation, a move that other professional athletes such as Liz Cambage, Paige VanZant, Ebanie Bridges, and more. He added that\u00a0she would need the league&#8217;s popularity to gain viewership since she has made a name for herself outside of the court.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo, I think you do need the leagues cause that&#8217;s what gives you the platform to have all these fans,&#8221; she explained.<\/p>\n<p>She did, however, see why people with several fans and followers opt to direct to consumer platforms to make content.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;OnlyFans can be a platform in themselves,&#8221; she said, adding, &#8220;Maybe Project B should support that platform.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Cunningham gave an unclear answer on whether she sees it as a possibility, but only time will tell.<\/p>\n<p>Where is the WNBA in negotiations now?<\/p>\n<p>As 2026 nears, a deal between the WNBA and the Women&#8217;s National Basketball Players Association has yet to be made. According to an update per <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.espn.com\/wnba\/story\/_\/id\/47011671\/wnba-cba-negotiations-wnbpa-updates-latest-news\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">ESPN<\/a>, WNBA\u00a0president\u00a0Nneka Ogwumike revealed that there a strike could occur which the WNBA calls an &#8220;unavoidable response to the state of negotiations with the WNBA and its teams.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>WNBA players are asking for a larger share of revenue, a salary system based on the growth of the league, and other benefits towards childcare and eventually retirement.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This means we could possibly strike if we need to, but it doesn&#8217;t mean that we want that to happen,&#8221; Ogwumike told ESPN. &#8220;But we have it in our arsenal in order for us to get exactly what we need, which is a fair deal that represents our value in a very meaningful way.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>More lifestyle news:<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Sophie Cunningham is sharing her thoughts on OnlyFans and if she would consider starting one.
