WNBA star Sophie Cunningham has this to say on OnlyFans career rumors
Sophie Cunningham has been making waves with her recent comment during an interview with former Barstool Sports personality Caleb Pressley. The duo has previously collaborated on Pressley’s Halftime Circus show, which aired on X during ESPN’s Monday Night Football halftime.
On a December 21 episode of “Sundae Conversations” with Caleb Pressley, Cunningham found herself answering a rather provocative question by the host. In their interview, Pressley asked the Indiana Fever star about a potential OnlyFans career if the WNBA doesn’t work out. For those wondering how the conversation landed on the topic, here’s what happened.
While discussing her fandom, Pressley asked, “You have so many people who support you and come to your games. Do you think you even need the leagues, or could you just make money on OnlyFans?” Containing her awkward laughter, the 29-year-old responded by saying, “No, I think you do need the leagues, because that’s what gives you the platform to have all these fans”.
Pressley then pitched, “OnlyFans can be a platform in itself,” to which Cunningham replied, “Maybe Plan B should support that platform,” referencing the new Project B women’s basketball league she’s joining.
Fan reactions to the video clip flooded X (formerly Twitter) in no time. While many found the exchange hilarious, others questioned its relevance. “That question was wild and unnecessary. Let her hoop in peace and get paid for her talent, not clicks”, one tweet read. “Weird question. Barstool has become such a vile company”, another fan echoed. “A lot of people in these comments have clearly never seen Sundae Conversation,” another user wrote.
Among other controversial topics, the interview witnessed Sophie Cunnningham and Caleb Pressley discussing WNBA pay and the evident pay gap between male and female athletes.
