“No Wonder They Hate Her”: Sophie Cunningham’s Viral Dance Has Critics Fired Up As It Tops 8 Million Views [VIDEO]
Sophie Cunningham dance video has haters fuming online.
We have gotten to the point where anything Sophie Cunningham does is going to garner attention.
She is getting more headlines for what she said than for what she does for a living. The Indiana Fever guard stated in an ESPN interview that transgender women should not compete in female sports.
Cunningham described her position as “common sense” aimed at protecting young girls and biological women in sports and locker rooms. Her remarks sparked a major cultural debate, leading to arena protests, supportive rallies, and a response from the WNBA Players Association denouncing hate and abuse.
Sophie has never backed down from her stance, even doubling down on it. Even though she has never stated her political stance, she finds herself being adopted by MAGA on social media. It led to an interesting AI-created picture of her in a MAGA shirt and hot pants.

The Indiana Fever are currently in 5th place overall in the WNBA standings for the 2026 season. They hold a 21–12 record (.636 winning percentage) and sit atop the Eastern Conference.
The top 8 teams in the league qualify for the postseason, regardless of conference. Indiana trails the 3rd-place Las Vegas Aces by just 1.5 games as they push for a higher seed.
During the 2025 WNBA postseason, the 6th-seeded Indiana Fever put together an incredibly resilient playoff run. They advanced to the WNBA Semifinals for the first time in a decade.
What made this run remarkable was that they accomplished it despite losing superstar guard Caitlin Clark to a season-ending groin injury. That came alongside severe injuries to key rotation pieces like Sophie Cunningham and Aari McDonald.
With a healthy squad, the team might make a title run.
