Sophie Cunningham Is Caitlin Clark’s Bodyguard On—and Off—the Court
The Fever enforcer has become the WNBA’s newest lightning rod.
Sophie Cunningham, 29, has become not only Caitlin Clark's bodyguard on and off the court but also the league's biggest attraction in terms of TV ratings, box office, and merchandise. Despite Clark's desire to avoid political debates, Cunningham has taken on a more vocal stance, particularly regarding transgender athletes. Cunningham defended her position on transgender athletes, stating it was "kind of common sense."
She has become the story amidst Clark's efforts to focus on her game, with social media rallying behind her. Cunningham insists her political beliefs are independent, appealing to a wide audience without being defined by partisan lines.
