Sophie Cunningham’s latest social media message turned into another heated back-and-forth, and WNBA Fans wasted no time debating what it meant. It started when she posted a simple line from a familiar Christian phrase. @sophaller wrote, “Jesus is King. Remember to stay focused on what is true, right, and just. Do not waiver in doing good. Be bold and courageous!” It was meant to sound like a reminder about faith, but the replies turned into a storm.
One comment instantly called her out. @calcuttle90488 replied, “This is antisemitic, especially in this climate.”

That pulled more WNBA Fans into the discussion, and many felt the criticism went too far.
Another fan clapped back with a direct correction. @bismarckkey said, “Jesus was a Jew. Don’t be an idiot.”
The argument pulled the spotlight toward the tension around public statements from athletes. Some WNBA Fans believed the criticism was a misunderstanding and pointed out that the phrase is commonly used in Christian circles without any political angle. Others argued that timing matters and public figures need to be careful with messages that can be interpreted in different ways.
Still, most of the reaction centered on whether Cunningham meant anything beyond a simple statement of belief. The replies showed how divided WNBA Fans can be when religion, culture, and the league’s personalities mix in one post. It also highlighted how people can jump to conclusions online, especially when comments spread fast. The whole exchange isn’t just a debate about a caption. It shows how sensitive conversations can get, and how quickly fans can turn a short message into a full conversation about context and intent.
WNBA Fans Weigh In On Sophie Cunningham’s Role As Caitlin Clark’s Protector
Sophie Cunningham’s name popped up again, and WNBA Fans had plenty to say about her role on the court last season. This time, the topic shifted away from her posts and toward how she handled the physical play surrounding Caitlin Clark.
@RightPulseNewss asked, “Do you support Sophie Cunningham for standing up for Caitlin Clark during a basketball game?”

The replies showed strong support. @MMishnick71943 said, “Yes. I love her and would cherish her as a teammate.”
Many WNBA Fans felt the same way, pointing out that Cunningham brought toughness during moments when Clark was taking heavy contact.
Another fan, @HLeague87116, added more context about why Cunningham stood out. “Yes. The way the WNBA players treated Caitlin Clark and all the non calls by the referees when she was obviously being targeted. It’s a good thing that Sophie C could acted as an enforcer to protect Caitlin Clark. Hopefully the referees will be higher quality this coming season.”
That sentiment echoed across replies from WNBA Fans who felt Clark needed someone willing to step in.
The reaction also showed how much the league has shifted. Instead of just watching the games, WNBA Fans now follow every storyline around physical play, media coverage, and how veterans respond to rising stars like Clark. Cunningham’s name keeps appearing because she represents a type of teammate supporters appreciate: someone willing to absorb pressure and bring stability.
While opinions differ on her posts, her on-court reputation earned plenty of respect from WNBA Fans. Whether she continues in that role next season is up to coaching decisions and team direction, but based on the online reaction, fans already made their choice.
