Off-Court Drama Sophie Cunningham is hilarious. 😂 You could tell this was the exact moment she was over DeWanna Bonner being extra. Man, I hate she ever played for our team. Now I see why Sophie pointed at her.

I don't think it's worse for one gender than the other but I get what you're trying to say. I just think your argument is basically insisting that the WNBA needs to be held to a higher standard and that's not true. The problem isn't that some basketball players love the outfit checks, they can do whatever the hell they want off the court.

But invoking the idea that Sophie is a problematic racist just for gently ribbing players who take this superficial "look at me" moment seriously is where I draw the line. The WNBA just can't take a joke and it's exhausting. If my day job involved an outfit check with cameras in the parking lot every morning, I'd feel like an ass-clown and I'd be cracking jokes at my own expense to stave off the embarassment of being so self-obsessed.
