“Caitlin will back her and quit if necessary” – Fans Erupt As Conservative Commentator Sparks Doubt Over Sophie Cunningham’s Fever Future

Conservative commentator Eric Daugherty tweeted on Tuesday that there were reports of Sophie Cunningham potentially leaving the Indiana Fever at the conclusion of the 2026 WNBA season, expressing doubt about the guard's future with the team. Daugherty did not provide any sources for his tweet, which quickly sparked strong reactions from fans.

One fan claimed that if the Fever released Cunningham, their star player Caitlin Clark would also depart, potentially leading to the league's downfall. However, it should be noted that Cunningham is currently under a one-year contract with the Fever, which means she may enter free agency rather than be forced out at the end of the season.

In addition to Daugherty's tweet, Sophie Cunningham herself paid tribute to Dolly Parton after learning of the country music legend's passing. In an Instagram post, Cunningham expressed her thoughts, stating that "Country music and the entire world will never be the same without Dolly. So the only way forward is to be more like Dolly.

Be kind to your neighbor. Do good in the world. Help others. Spread a little more love. Be like Dolly." Dolly Parton, known for hits like "Jolene" and "I Will Always Love You," died at the age of 80 on Tuesday.
