Fever’s Sophie Cunningham Fined $1,500 by WNBA for Criticizing Refs in Podcast Video

Indiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham wrote another check to the WNBA office for critical comments she made about the league’s officiating.

Cunningham said on her Show Me Something podcast that she was fined $1,500, thanks to some of her remarks in the show’s premiere.

“If I was a ref, I know I would mess up all the time,” she said in that episode (via Matthew Glenesk of the Indianapolis Star). “Like, I’m not saying that your job is easy, but when it is a simple call right in front of your face multiple times, what are you doing? What are you doing? … They’re just so inconsistent, like that’s one thing.”
