Sophie Cunningham Doesn't Hesitate Naming 'Face' Of The WNBA
Sophie Cunningham launched her own podcast Wednesday called "Show Me Something." The Indiana Fever guard wasted no time tackling controversial subjects on the show.
Cunningham, 28, is co-hosting this podcast with reality TV star West Wilson. They struck a deal with Colin Cowherd's network, The Volume. Wilson believes it's the perfect time to partner up with Cunningham. After all, the WNBA's popularity is on the rise.
In addition to covering all things basketball, Cunningham and Wilson will discuss the latter's appearance on Bravo's "Summer House."
"We're definitely going to hit on the WNBA, a huge topic in sports right now, and then Bravo, clearly, but pop culture, food, fashion, travel, let's spread this thing wide open because we really do talk about anything," Cunningham said.
During the debut episode of "Show Me Something," Cunningham shared her thoughts on the face of the WNBA. She said she gets "really pissed off" when people don't have Caitlin Clark as their answer.
"There's really good, well-known people in the league. I'm not discrediting them. We have a lot of badasses in our league. But when people try to argue that she's not the face of our league, or that our league would be where we're at without her, you're dumb as [expletive]," Cunningham said. "You're literally dumb as [expletive]."
Cunningham isn't the only athlete who believes Clark is the biggest star the WNBA has.
The Athletic recently asked 39 players who'll be the face of the league in five years from now. Over 53% of the votes went to Clark. USC star JuJu Watkins claimed roughly 18% of the votes, while Paige Bueckers
Clark is currently sidelined with a right groin strain. Whenever she returns to the court, there'll be plenty of eyes on her. Until then, the Fever will lean on her supporting cast, which includes Cunningham.Sophie Cunningham Doesn't Hesitate Naming 'Face' Of The WNBA first appeared on The Spun on Jul 30, 2025

Kristi Noem Slams South Park's ‘Petty' Portrayal of Her: ‘It's So Lazy to Make Fun of Women for How They Look'
No surprise here: Kristi Noem isn't thrilled with her unflattering portrayal on the most recent episode of South Park. The United States Secretary of Homeland Security called in to Glenn Beck's radio show on Thursday to share her thoughts on the Aug. 6 episode, in which an animated Noem recruited mild-mannered elementary school guidance counselor Mr. Mackey into joining ICE. More from TVLine South Park Savages ICE and Kristi Noem, Sends Trump to Mar-a-Lago - Read Recap South Park Premiere Delivers 6 Million Viewers, Best 18-49 Share Since 1999 Save the Dates: South Park Sets Return, Kelly Clarkson's NBC Series and More In addition to being ruthlessly racist, South Park's version of Noem had a penchant for shooting puppies — a nod to Noem's real-life memoir, in which she recalled killing her young dog Cricket after he was deemed too 'aggressive.' The show also gave Noem a melting face, which required an entire team to reapply each time it fell off. 'It never ends, but it's so lazy to constantly make fun of women for how they look,' Noem said to Beck. 'It's always the liberals and the extremists who do that. If they wanted to criticize my job, go ahead and do that, but clearly they can't. They just pick something petty like that.' Despite her strong opinions, Noem claims that she didn't watch the episode, as she was otherwise occupied 'going over budget numbers and stuff.' One person who likely did watch this week's South Park was Vice President JD Vance, who responded to his own portrayal by posting 'Well, I've made it' on X. The episode reimagined Mar-a-Lago as a Fantasy Island-esque retreat, with President Donald Trump as Mr. Roarke and Vance as Tattoo. Noem's displeasure with South Park comes two weeks after the White House released a statement regarding Trump's portrayal in the season premiere. 'The Left's hypocrisy truly has no end,' White House spokesperson Taylor Rogers said in response to Trump's portrayal as a whiny-voiced, flappy-headed, Satan-loving, small-membered dictator. 'For years, they have come after South Park for what they labeled as 'offense' content, but suddenly they are praising the show,' the statement continued. 'Just like the creators of South Park, the Left has no authentic or original content, which is why their popularity continues to hit record lows. This show hasn't been relevant for over 20 years and is hanging on by a thread with uninspired ideas in a desperate attempt for attention. President Trump has delivered on more promises in just six months than any other president in our country's history — and no fourth-rate show can derail President Trump's hot streak.'
