WNBA always prides itself on taking on the social causes and standing united and firm against the negativity or cruelty. Many stars even campaigned for political parties. During the recent election, New York Liberty star Natasha Cloud showed support for Democratic Candidate Zohran Mamdani, who eventually won. And recently, Sophie Cunningham also went viral with her political views.

The star supported the Trump Administration and refused to apologize for her views, finding backing from other celebrities as well.

Sophie Cunningham Stays Firm On Her Political Views

The Fever forward is famous for her strong stands and has been vocal about her views. Recently, she spoke only about the CBA negotiations and blasted franchise owners for the offers. But her recent comments on ongoing actions by the Trump administration went viral, as she supported them, saying they may be strong, but they are good for the country.

U.S. Congressman Brandon Gill’s wife, Danielle D’Souza Gill, hailed the WNBA Stars and wrote, “Basketball star Sophie Cunningham has refused to bash America, instead thanking our veterans. ‘Home of the free because of the brave … Thank you to all those who fought and are still fighting,’ God bless you, Sophie!”

The player also shared the post on her Instagram story, showing her strong stance on the topic.

During the league’s CBA negotiations, the player also raised concerns about the 2026 season and even spoke about taking up a second sport.

Sophie Cunningham Shifting To Pickleball

Multiple WNBA stars played different sports in their college career, and the Missouri star was also one of them who tried her hand at football, too. During her pro career, she played pickleball and now loves the game.

She also posted on her Instagram story a photo of her holding a pickleball and a pickleball paddle with the caption, “Confirmed. I’d kick [expletive] in this sport, plus my fav part, you get a tan while playing!!”

Interestingly, the star already has plans outside the WNBA, where she will be playing in Project B after signing a mega contract early in November.
