Sophie Cunningham Addresses OnlyFans Speculation
WNBA player Sophie Cunningham recently addressed rumors of potentially joining OnlyFans. During a public interaction, Cunningham firmly dismissed the idea of creating an account on the popular subscription service platform. Her response was rooted in a belief in the importance of league platforms for building and maintaining a fanbase. "No, I do think you need the leagues, 'cause that's what gives you the platform to have all these fans," Cunningham stated, emphasizing the role of traditional sports structures in her career.
Discussion Amidst Collective Bargaining Issues
The query regarding OnlyFans emerged during a discussion on alternatives for athletes amidst ongoing WNBA collective bargaining concerns. The suggestion that OnlyFans could be an independent platform was met with humor by Cunningham who engaged in the conversation but clarified her stance, choosing to focus on viable options within professional league frameworks.
Career Highlights and Future Prospects
Cunningham, an unrestricted free agent after playing the 2025 season with the Indiana Fever, has had a significant career in the WNBA. Originally drafted by the Phoenix Mercury in 2019 from the University of Missouri, she has been a noteworthy player through six seasons. In her recent stint with the Fever, she was crucial, especially in the absence of other key players, starting 13 of the 30 games she played that season. Her time on the court was cut short due to an injury in August.
With her future still undecided, Cunningham is considering her options with various teams. However, she has made it clear that her professional path will not include a shift to OnlyFans, focusing instead on opportunities within traditional sports settings.
