Sophie Cunningham’s back-and-forth with veteran sports show anchor Skip Bayless continues on social media. The exchange started three weeks ago when Bayless speculated about Caitlin Clark’s prolonged stint on the sidelines due to a right groin injury. He said that Indiana Fever guard has been taking a “mental break” from the “on-court bullying” and “cheap shots.”

Cunningham responded to Bayless, calling the Fox Sports analyst’s take “bulls**t” on her “Show Me Something” podcast two weeks ago. Bayless labeled the Fever guard a “textbook clout chaser” in his show for that response.

On Tuesday, Sophie Cunningham said this to her fans in the latest episode of her podcast:

“I’ve never met you, I’ve never really listened to you. Someone sent it to me, and I was like, ‘What is this?’ He’s calling me a clout chaser? Like you’re the one that had my name plastered all over your YouTube for 36 views, like, ‘Get out of here.’”

Bayless claimed in his YouTube show two weeks ago that Cunningham took advantage of Caitlin Clark’s popularity to gain more fans and followers. He noted how Cunningham played the role of enforcer for Clark and how the former Phoenix Mercury guard defended her teammate in interviews.

Skip Bayless called Sophie Cunningham a “shrewd operator” for playing the “get-famous game” well.

For Cunningham, she doubled down on her response to Bayless that no one on the Indiana Fever lied about Caitlin Clark’s injury. Also, Cunningham has been known as a fierce competitor who defended her teammates, so her actions with the Fever are not uncommon.

Neither Bayless nor Cunningham is known to back off. Only time will tell how the social media feud will play out after the Indiana Fever star’s latest remark.
