Sophie Cunningham has a way of turning old interviews into new headlines. This time, it’s a resurfaced podcast clip pulling back the curtain on what actually happens inside WNBA locker rooms.
The comments come from Cunningham’s February appearance on the ‘Like a Farmer’ podcast. She described a culture far rowdier than fans might assume. The clip started circulating again on X this week, and it quickly became the talk of WNBA social media.
“I think what people don’t understand is, like, the WNBA is so inappropriate,” Cunningham said. “We’ve had people who work for the WNBA, and they go to the NBA, and NBA guys, and what they do and what they talk about doesn’t even come close to how, like, how, I don’t know. Like, we’re wild.”

Cunningham didn’t offer specifics. That’s part of what made the clip spread so fast. She teased just enough to leave fans guessing, then shut the door before anyone could get details.
“We say some crazy, crazy stuff,” Cunningham added. “And just like, we’re just a fun time over in the W. I don’t know. And I can’t, I can’t repeat a lot of things that I’ve said.”
The Indiana Fever guard has built a reputation as one of the league’s most candid voices. She’s never been shy about needling teammates, opponents, or the media, and the WNBA has leaned into her personality as the league’s audience keeps growing.
This isn’t the only Cunningham interview making the rounds right now, either. A separate clip from her December appearance on Caleb Pressley’s ‘Sundae Conversation’ podcast has also resurfaced. That one touched on whether female athletes should treat platforms like OnlyFans as a financial backup plan.
Cunningham pushed back on that idea. She argued that leagues themselves are what build an athlete’s platform in the first place.
“No, I think you do need the leagues, because that’s what gives you the platform to have all these fans,” Cunningham said. “Maybe Plan B should support that platform.”
It’s another example of Cunningham’s timing landing exactly the way she intends it to. Whether she’s talking locker room culture or league economics, she rarely leaves a quote sitting flat.
Cunningham has shown that same instinct in smaller moments too. When Dallas forward Alanna Smith posted a season recap on Instagram this week, Cunningham hopped into the comments with a simple “Cutie” as she headed off to represent Australia at the FIBA World Cup. Cunningham stays engaged with the league’s culture on and off the court, which is exactly why her old clips keep resurfacing in the first place.
Why Sophie Cunningham’s Old Clips Keep Finding New Life
Part of what makes these resurfaced interviews stick is timing. Cunningham has already spent much of this season as one of the WNBA’s most talked-about players. Any new clip of her speaking freely tends to travel fast, no matter when it was actually recorded.
It also helps that Cunningham rarely sounds rehearsed. Both podcast appearances came off as loose, unscripted conversations rather than media-trained talking points. That authenticity is exactly what keeps pulling these clips back into the timeline months later.
