Sophie Cunningham WNBA

@proamericapol · Aug 9, 3:34 AM · 45.4K views

Look at the body language. 👇 The coach has her arms folded defiantly and angry. She clearly was happy to see what happened to Sophie Cunningham. Now look at the two players. Embarrassed and ashamed as they listen to their coach defend the other team's player who nearly put their teammate in the hospital. This league is broken beyond repair.
