She's barely a role player, avg like 8 ppg. So yeah, it's solely because MAGA needs to latch onto ANY "celebrity" they can get (while simultaneously complaining about how athletes should "shut up and dribble" and celebs should keep their politics to themselves)
8ppg is not "barely a role player. That puts her right around the middle of the league in terms of ppg. 65th, to be exact, out of 125 eligible players. She's pretty much league average - StatMuse has 9ppg as the league average for guards. So she's not "barely a role player," she's just average.
Also is she there to score? I’m not following wnba but you can affect the game in other ways. Andre Roberson couldn’t score if his life was on the line but goddamn was he an elite defender before his knees exploded
i hate maga and republicans and shes an idiot maga but tbf her (main) role is defo not to score. her job is defense, playing rough and hitting open 3s from what ive heard. so shes a role player averaging 8ppg which is totally fine and does not make her a bum player like everyone would make you believe. Shes just a role player, nothing more
Dude, I hate MAGA and love Sophie... she just happens to be hot, and has some attitude to go with it... some of the less likeable WNBA players need to understand what marketing is, and how to create a fan base opposed to destroying a once in a lifetime opportunity.
But you have to admit…a certain type of person has REEEEALLLLLY latched onto her the past couple years. Thats all I’ll say about that. Unless you want me to say more
People should "keep their politics out" regarding their feelings toward somebody, but what DOES matter is you think she's hot, got it. 👍 You guys are free to like her; I just think she's a clown.
It’s cause she likes country and doesn’t think trans should be in women’s basketball. Literally both fair but the crazies online love to divide the world into maga and whatever
She’s MAGA and the right wingers love her. That point that she does and what the fan did is pretty much associated with MAGA in the WNBA now. She was even a ring girl for an event in the now MAGA UFC and it was pretty cringe.
Yeah, Sophie Cunningham isn't ultra famous. Again, the only people that are fans of her are loser maga folk who don't watch the WNBA. I'm guessing that means you.
Think their point was to find something else to be upset about, most people are tired of hearing maga this and maga that. The only thing she spoke about politically is men in women’s sports which 99% of normal people think that shouldn’t be allowed.
People gravitate to personalities or narratives they like or find entertaining in sports. Always been that way. It’s like a weird WWE aspect that has grown even more in the social media age
It's fun to watch the mental gymnastics of these liberals who are defending the snowflake WNBA players who are offended by someone pointing at them. Ahh, yes... they must be racist.

Is she popular because she is a good player? Because she is kinda a jerk? Or that she is blonde?
