Colin Cowherd Believes Sophie Cunningham Is the WNBA's Sex Symbol
Cunningham says her fashion, femininity and marketability can coexist with the physical style that has defined her WNBA career.
- On Friday, September 11, 2026, Sophie Cunningham appeared on The Colin Cowherd Podcast, where host Colin Cowherd described her as a "sex symbol," a label she accepted after anticipating a different characterization.
- Cunningham, a 30-year-old Indiana Fever player, has long challenged societal expectations that female athletes cannot be both feminine and tough, rejecting stigmas that prevent players from embracing fashion while maintaining physical edge.
- "You can be girly, and you can go out and kick someone's ass," Cunningham said of the bias facing basketball players, emphasizing that young girls should see femininity and athletic ambition are compatible.
- Critics argued the interaction with 62-year-old Cowherd felt out of touch, noting that WNBA players like Wilson and DiJonai Carrington have long balanced high-fashion off-court styles with intense on-court play.
- Beyond her WNBA performance, Cunningham made her Sports Illustrated Swimsuit debut in 2026, increasing her marketability as clothing brands pursue partnerships with the Fever guard due to her broader exposure.
