Indiana Fever<\/u><\/a> guard Sophie Cunningham has been among the most outspoken WNBA players to address the recent controversy surrounding Commissioner Cathy Engelbert. During her latest podcast episode, Cunningham continued to speak out, calling out the league boss for acting out of self-interest.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Both on social media and during her exit interview on Wednesday, Cunningham spoke at length about her issues with Engelbert and league officiating.<\/p>\n

“I\u2019m just tired of our league. They need to step up and be better. Our leadership from top to bottom needs to be held accountable. I think there are a lot of people in positions of power in the\u00a0WNBA,<\/u><\/a> who they might be really great business people, but they don\u2019t know s— about basketball. And that\u2019s gotta change.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

In the latest episode of her podcast,\u00a0“Show Me Something,”<\/u><\/a> Cunningham expanded on her thoughts amid the current collective bargaining agreement (CBA) negotiations.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“At the end of the day, everyone\u2019s fed up \u2013 fed up with how the league is treating us.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

“They should be ashamed of themselves for what they\u2019re giving back to us because it’s nothing. It is nothing. They\u2019re not listening. The thing is, they\u2019re not even engaging with us. It is bad.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

Cunningham, whose first season with the Fever was cut short due to injury, again addressed Engelbert. She said Engelbert lacked the qualities of a “great leader,” and said that recent comments from the commissioner were out of self-interest.\u00a0<\/p>\n

WNBA COMMISSIONER DENIES ALLEGED STATEMENT SAYING CAITLIN CLARK SHOULD BE ‘GRATEFUL’ TO LEAGUE FOR SUCCESS<\/u><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

“Great leaders want to see other people be more successful than them, they want to make sure that they\u2019re cared for,” Cunningham said. “And I get it, she\u2019s the business side of it. Like, I get it. But you can be respectful and treat your product \u2013 the product of why people are paying attention, why people are buying certain jerseys \u2013 treat your product with respect.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Like, be a great leader. She\u2019s not. She\u2019s not in any sense. The disrespect is just crazy to me.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

“I think this just such a pivotal point in the WNBA because there\u2019s so many eyes on us, there\u2019s so many new fans \u2013 there\u2019s millions of millions, I should say, of new fans \u2013 and at the end of the day she\u2019s worried about her. In all of her statements it\u2019s like, \u2018Well, I got us here and I \u2013,\u2019 Cathy no one cares. Literally, no one cares.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

Engelbert addressed the media Friday, and was asked about comments Napheesa Collier alleged she made about star player\u00a0Caitlin Clark.<\/u><\/a> Engelbert denied the accusations.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Obviously, I did not make those comments. Caitlin has been a transformational player in this league. She’s been a great representative of the game. She\u2019s brought in tens of millions of new fans to the game,” she said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“There’s a lot of inaccuracy out there through social media and all this reporting,” she later added. “A lot of reporting, a lot of inaccuracy about what I say, what I didn’t say.”<\/p>\n

The players\u2019 association and the WNBA agreed to an eight-year agreement in 2020, but last year the WNBPA voted to opt out of the agreement early. The current agreement is set to expire Oct. 31.\u00a0<\/p>\n
