Opponents have targeted Caitlin Clark since she turned pro, and it seems Sophie Cunningham is the perfect teammate to end the harassment.

Caitlin Clark was poked in the eye and shoved to the ground by Marina Mabrey on Tuesday and somehow received the same punishment as Mabrey.

Mabrey was allowed to stay in the game as she and Clark both received technical. It was a staggering decision by the officiating crew.

Cunningham made sure that chaos would ensue. Cunningham took the role of enforcer quite literally later in the game, causing another scuffle with the Connecticut Sun after a pretty blatant foul on Jacy Sheldon.

Cunningham made sure a message was sent as she grabbed the hair and talked crap as players separated them.

It turns out that her opponents may need to do some research, because Sophie Cunningham appears to be a black belt.

“Sophie Cunningham earned a black belt in Tae Kwon Do at the age of six. She is the perfect enforcer for Caitlin Clark,” one fan said.

“Sophie Cunningham earned her black belt in Tae Kwon Do at age 6. Jeez😅. If there were a list of WNBA players to not mess with, I’d think she’d be one of them 💪🏻,” a second person stated.

“That’s some serious head grab. Cunningham, a black belt in karate,” a third person added.

“Cunningham earned a Tae Kwon Do black belt at age 6. She could have absolutely murdered Sheldon,” a fourth person wrote.

One final person commented: “Concerning the Fever vs. Sun game tonight. You know what they say l. You fight one of the Tres Leches, you gots to fight them all. And you don’t want to fuck with Cunningham, considering one of her claims to fame was she’s the youngest black belt in Missouri history.”
