On Saturday, July 19, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DMUBd_osRod\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Bleacher Report<\/a> posted a video on Instagram in which the former Iowa Hawkeyes superstar can be seen giving orders to her 2025 WNBA All-Star team, given that she took on the role of a courtside team captain.<\/p>\n<p>This happened because Clark could no longer play in this year\u2019s All-Star Game due to her reaggravated groin injury that she suffered during her team\u2019s 85-77 regular-season win over the Connecticut Sun on Wednesday, July 16. It forced Clark into a coaching role for the annual exhibition, as the Instagram post shows Clark drawing up a play for her squad, and when they missed the shot, she playfully booed them from the sidelines.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCaitlin Clark showing her team tough love \ud83d\ude02,\u201d Bleacher Report captioned the post on Instagram with a laughing emoji.<\/p>\n<p>This prompted many to react with hilarious as well as supportive comments for Clark, who took on an unusual route due to her unavailability. Joining in on this trend was Cunningham, who dropped a six-word reaction, claiming that Clark heckling and being a tough, vocal leader is a regular thing for coach Stephanie White\u2019s Fever.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWelcome to our life every day,\u201d Cunningham wrote.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-143483\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/welcome-our-life-every-day-07-21-25-300x61.jpeg\" alt=\"(image credits: @sophie_cham on Instagram)\" width=\"408\" height=\"83\"  \/>(image credits: @sophie_cham on Instagram)<\/p>\n<p>The 28-year-old doubled down on her comment by sharing a cheeky response.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI feel sorry for no one,\u201d she wrote.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-143484\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/welcome-our-life-every-day-07-21-25-1-300x57.jpeg\" alt=\"(image credits: @sophie_cham on Instagram)\" width=\"300\" height=\"57\"  \/>(image credits: @sophie_cham on Instagram)<\/p>\n<p>Cunningham joined the Fever in January of this year. She was dealt there in a four-team trade that included the Dallas Wings, the Connecticut Sun, and her former team, the Phoenix Mercury. Cunningham spent her first five seasons (2019-24) in the WNBA with coach Nate Tibbetts\u2019 Mercury, before joining the Fever with Clark as her teammate.<\/p>\n<p>In just a short period from then until now, it seems as though Clark has imposed her will onto her teammates, which includes the likes of veterans such as Cunningham, and become both the team\u2019s go-to playmaker and scorer, as well as their vocal leader. This trait has now been bolstered with Cunningham\u2019s comments, despite them being playful.<\/p>\n<p>Sophie Cunningham Shows Her Support Towards The 2025 WNBA All-Stars\u2019 Equal Pay Movement<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-143486\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/welcome-our-life-every-day-07-21-25-2-169x300.jpeg\" alt=\"(image credits: @sophie_cham on Instagram)\" width=\"189\" height=\"336\"  \/>(image credits: @sophie_cham on Instagram)<\/p>\n<p>On the same day, Sophie Cunningham showed her support for All-Stars, such as Caitlin Clark, for their equal pay movement during the 2025 WNBA All-Star Game.<\/p>\n<p>This is because they donned black shirts that read \u201cPay us what you owe us\u201d in bold white letters in response to the alleged lack of progress towards new CBA negotiations. Cunningham then reposted one of the WNBPA\u2019s Instagram videos on her own <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/stories\/sophie_cham\/3680566263072148856\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">story<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>College Sports Network has you covered with the latest news, analysis, insights, and trending stories in\u00a0<a class=\"c-link\" href=\"https:\/\/collegefootballnetwork.com\/football\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" data-stringify-link=\"https:\/\/collegefootballnetwork.com\/football\/\" data-sk=\"tooltip_parent\">college football<\/a>,\u00a0<a class=\"c-link\" href=\"https:\/\/collegefootballnetwork.com\/mens-college-basketball\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" data-stringify-link=\"https:\/\/collegefootballnetwork.com\/mens-college-basketball\/\" data-sk=\"tooltip_parent\">men\u2019s college basketball<\/a>,\u00a0<a class=\"c-link\" href=\"https:\/\/collegefootballnetwork.com\/womens-college-basketball\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" data-stringify-link=\"https:\/\/collegefootballnetwork.com\/womens-college-basketball\/\" data-sk=\"tooltip_parent\">women\u2019s college basketball<\/a>, and\u00a0<a class=\"c-link\" href=\"https:\/\/collegefootballnetwork.com\/college-baseball\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" data-stringify-link=\"https:\/\/collegefootballnetwork.com\/college-baseball\/\" data-sk=\"tooltip_parent\">college baseball<\/a>!<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Former Missouri Tigers guard and now Indiana Fever standout Sophie Cunningham recently reacted to a viral moment of&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":25115,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[68],"tags":[402,398,400,401,99],"class_list":{"0":"post-25114","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-ncaa-basketball","8":"tag-basketball","9":"tag-ncaa","10":"tag-ncaa-basketball","11":"tag-ncaabasketball","12":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25114","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=25114"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25114\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/25115"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=25114"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=25114"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=25114"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
