Eric Daugherty of RightLine News, a conservative news outlet, tweeted on Tuesday that there were reports of Sophie Cunningham leaving the Indiana Fever at the end of the 2026 WNBA season. Daugherty then wondered if the potential move had anything to do with Cunningham's comments in an ESPN profile, where she said that she wanted to protect female athletes in sports where they "shouldn't have to go against biological men."
Daugherty did not cite the reports, though he reposted an article with fan speculation about Cunningham's future.
Still, Daugherty's tweet led to some intense reactions from netizens.
"if they release sophie, caitlin will back her and quit if necessary and the league will go back into obscurity," one fan claimed.
It's also worth pointing out that Cunningham is on a one-year deal with the Fever, meaning that she could be entering free agency instead of facing the prospect of getting "released" at the end of the season.
