Sophie Cunningham calls out WNBA media for non-basketball focus, and talks viral Cheryl Reeve conversation

Sophie Cunningham said of the WNBA media "all we ever do is cover everything except basketball," while speaking to reporters on Wednesday. "The WNBA media, all we ever do is cover everything except basketball," Cunningham said. "You can talk about other things, those are great stories, it shows fans who people (are) outside of the court, but I think we gotta keep the main thing the main thing." Cunningham's comments come after being at the center of a national media firestorm for weeks, after an ESPN article reported quotes in which she expressed support for the protection of women's sports. Cunningham claimed the interview for that piece happened earlier this year.
