Sophie Cunningham SNAPS: “You Don’t Get to Tear Down Caitlin Just Because She’s Rising”
In a viral locker room moment that shook the WNBA, Sophie Cunningham fiercely defended Caitlin Clark — and the internet can’t stop talking about it.
After another rough Indiana Fever loss to the Las Vegas Aces, tensions were already high. Clark had taken multiple hard hits with no calls. But it was the silence — from teammates, refs, and even leadership — that pushed Sophie over the edge.
“You don’t get to tear down Caitlin just because she’s rising!” she shouted, after slamming a bottle in the tunnel. Eyewitnesses say she directly confronted Fever President Allison Barber, accusing the organization of letting jealousy drive internal sabotage. “This isn’t leadership. This is pure jealousy in disguise.”
A 17-second audio clip leaked online moments later. It went viral — 6.4 million views in one hour, 11 million by morning. Fans flooded Twitter with #StandWithCaitlin and #SophieSaidIt. Even players chimed in with cryptic support.
One quote says it all:
“They wanted me to clap. I chose to speak.”
And now, the entire league is listening.
