Sophie Cunningham Shares Her Thoughts On Skip Bayless Using Her Name for Aura Farming

Skip Bayless, known for his provocative commentary, has once again found himself in a social media spat. Despite his limited airtime on a major network, he continues to stir controversy. Recently, he targeted Sophie Cunningham, guard for the Indiana Fever, after she defended her injured teammate Caitlin Clark against Bayless’s criticisms regarding her commitment during a challenging season marred by injuries.Cunningham, currently sidelined with an ACL tear, addressed Bayless’s claims on her podcast, “Show Me Something.” She confronted him directly, stating, “Who’s the clout chaser? You’re using my name for clicks.” Despite her unyielding stance, she claimed no personal animosity towards Bayless, emphasizing that her focus remains on her team.The Fever, positioned for playoff contention, once appeared promising with new acquisitions like Cunningham and WNBA champion Natasha Howard. However, injuries have hindered their potential, and they now face a critical battle against the Los Angeles Sparks for the eighth playoff seed.
