Indiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham commented on stalkers this week during an appearance on Theo Von’s podcast, saying the problem is growing along with the WNBA’s popularity.
“We’ll have to check if I’m even allowed to say this,” Cunningham said. “I like have, I think, 20, I think, people kind of, that the FBI are watching for me. Me alone.”
“People are going to know who you are, and that’s a really great thing,” she said, adding that it also brings safety concerns. “We do have a lot of stalkers. I know I do. And like that’s a negative side of things that people don’t think about. And so you do want to feel secure.”
MY GOSH: Indiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham reveals she has roughly 20 active stalkers that the FBI is watching to keep her protected. “There’s also a lot of crazy people, too. We do have a lot of stalkers. I know I do.”
“The more you’re visible on TV, you’re going to get more fans. People are going to know who you are, and that’s a really great thing. But there’s also a lot of crazy people, too. We do have a lot of stalkers. I know I do. That’s the negative side of things that people don’t think about. And so you do want to feel secure.”
Theo Von: “Have you had stalkers?”
Sophie Cunningham: “Oh my gosh, yeah. We’ll have to check if I’m even allowed to say this. But I have, I think, 20 people that the FBI are watching for me, me alone.”
“I know one of them… He’s locked away now… Actually, this is public knowledge. Yeah, his name’s Kevin. And the worst part about that is like, I have a miniature donkey named Kevin. And now I’m like, well, sh*t, do I need to rename Kevin?”— RedWave Press (@RedWavePress) October 29, 2026
For what it’s worth, Cunningham has been an outspoken proponent of protecting women’s sports from male competitors “identifying” as female.
When asked about WNBA teams “walking out on the anthem,” Cunningham let it be known that certain players have been doing that for several years. Stating that she has family members who’ve served their country, Cunningham expressed her full support for military service members and veterans.
“Anytime I can shout out our veterans & the people currently fighting for us to live in the best country, I’m going to… That’s where I stand,” she said.
Sophie Cunningham just dropped the line of the century on WNBA players boycotting the National Anthem:
“Anytime I can shout out our veterans & the people currently fighting for us to live in the best country, I’m going to… That’s where I stand.”
God bless Sophie. https://t.co/MiF8KUq1Ys

Cunningham, who is teammates with Caitlin Clark, also confessed her faith in Jesus Christ, and spoke about why he died on the cross:
Watch Sophie Cunningham witness to Theo Vonn about Jesus dying on the cross for our sins and God’s grace and forgiveness given to us.
You never know what planting a little seed like this can do for a person!

Social media users had their own ideas on why Cunningham may need security — here’s a sampling of responses to the story, as seen on X:
Let’s not pretend that this has anything to do with the WNBA’s “rising popularity”. It has everything to do with the LBGTabcxyz cult having a nutty because Sophie dares to be an advocate for girls’ sports.

Worth it, we are at war. More people need to carry the attitude Sophie Cunningham brings. Have fun, stick to your values, don’t worry about threats or opinions. Train hard and be prepared.

Sophie Cunningham not being intimidated despite all the crazies coming after her is impressive. It is awful that she has to deal with these scumbags.

Has nothing to do with being a sports star…it has everything to do with the trans movement and the length they will go to silence anyone who says its perverse and a lie. @Foxnews why can’t you say the truth? People are having their lives threatened for speaking…

Those 20 people are black women on other teams.
