Of course, Sophie Cunningham is a megastar.
She's hot, funny, charismatic and relentlessly positive. The other WNBA players could learn a thing or two from her.
Column: How Sophie Cunningham embraced the moment, while the rest of the WNBA squandered it.

Caitlin Clark is a West Des Moines hero. She's brought millions of eyeballs and a billion dollars to women's basketball, and she's an inspiration to young women across the country — including my daughters.
She's also the 4th most fouled player in the league, and in her rookie season, she drew 17% of ALL flagrant fouls.
She's earned the right to compete without being punched, shoved, and targeted while the WNBA looks the other way. We're demanding answers. ⬇️

Absolutely makes “No Sense “ that @Caitlinclark22 is targeted in such a negative manner by many of her peers . She should be treated like ROYALTY for what she has done for the @WNBA ! #@ESPNPR https://t.co/EHLiLPfKQk
Candace Parker saying Caitlin Clark being voted as the 11th-best guard by WNBA players is “crazy”
“You’ve got some insecurities if you’re sitting down and putting Caitlin Clark as the 11th-best guard. Y’all need to go to a therapist.”

🚨 NOW: A massive group of House Republicans announce the DOJ and Equal Employment Opportunity Commission could CRACK DOWN on the WNBA after Caitlin Clark was viciously and violently fouled on the court, and is being targeted because she's WHITE
REP. AUGUST PFLUGER TO WNBA COMMISSIONER: "Clark has been hip-checked, poked in the eye, and struck in the throat during games. These incidents go far beyond routine physical play, yet the WNBA and its officiating have too often failed to address these unacceptable incidents and hold players accountable."
"Recently, a player even appeared to endorse violence against Clark in a social media post, further fueling concerns about the culture surrounding these incidents."
"In addition, concerning reports suggest that many of these attacks against Caitlin Clark may be racially motivated."
"As Commissioner, you have an obligation to ensure that every player competes in a safe and professional environment, both on and off the court, free from violence, discrimination, or retaliation."
"If discrimination or retaliation is occurring and creating a hostile work environment, we support any appropriate investigation by the Department of Justice, the Department of Labor, or the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. If true, such conduct could constitute violations of federal civil rights laws."
@RepublicanStudy is demanding answers this month.
FIX IT, OR ELSE!
WNBA had a great thing going. Caitlin Clark was making the WNBA compelling (and making everyone in it money). Rival players and refs and league execs ruined it.
Unbelievable — NEW angles just dropped 🤯
• Slo-mo of DeWanna Bonner purposely lowers knee into Caitlin Clark’s shoulder
• Freeze + zoom: ref had a direct line of sight — no call
• New angle Alyssa Thomas attack
I want answers!! Why does the @WNBA keep protecting this? 🔥🗣️
It is amazing that @CaitlinClark22 who has brought so much publicity for the @WNBA has to take so much abuse from many of those that she has helped financially since her arrival .The physical pounding she takes is totally UNACCEPTABLE! https://t.co/PdJO1xl773
