Sophie Cunningham is sharing her thoughts on OnlyFans and if she would consider starting one.<\/p>\n

The Indiana Fever star is currently a free agent as the WNBA figures out contract negotiations. During a conversation with Caleb Pressley for Sundae Conversation, the host asked if\u00a0she was getting paid which she replied: “Oh, you know, just barely, but we\u2019re still surviving.”<\/p>\n

Pressley responded: \u00a0“If the WNBA screws you, you\u2019ll find a Plan B.”<\/p>\n

Cunningham laughed before she corrected him, responding, “Not Plan B. Project B.”<\/p>\n

Pressley continued to get some details out of Cunningham, asking her if she was considering playing over Saudi Arabia. However, it doesn’t seem as though that is on the radar for Cunningham as she doesn’t think Saudi Arabia will be giving women athletes millions of dollars to play in their league.<\/p>\n

“No Saudi money involved,” she said.<\/p>\n

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’s popularity to gain viewership since she has made a name for herself outside of the court.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo, I think you do need the leagues cause that’s what gives you the platform to have all these fans,” she explained.<\/p>\n

She did, however, see why people with several fans and followers opt to direct to consumer platforms to make content.<\/p>\n

“OnlyFans can be a platform in themselves,” she said, adding, “Maybe Project B should support that platform.”<\/p>\n

Cunningham gave an unclear answer on whether she sees it as a possibility, but only time will tell.<\/p>\n

Where is the WNBA in negotiations now?<\/p>\n

As 2026 nears, a deal between the WNBA and the Women’s National Basketball Players Association has yet to be made. According to an update per ESPN<\/a>, WNBA\u00a0 president\u00a0Nneka Ogwumike revealed that there a strike could occur which the WNBA calls an “unavoidable response to the state of negotiations with the WNBA and its teams.”<\/p>\n

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

“This means we could possibly strike if we need to, but it doesn’t mean that we want that to happen,” Ogwumike told ESPN. “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.”<\/p>\n
