Indiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham is quickly becoming one of the more popular female athletes in all of the United States.
Cunningham, who is in Year 2 with the Indiana Fever, has become well-known for being a bit of an enforcer for Caitlin Clark. She's been playing well as of late, too, having a big 20-point game in a huge win over the Las Vegas Aces. Cunningham has been trending on social media, as well.
The former University of Missouri guard has her own podcast with former "Summer House" star West Wilson, while also gaining a ton of followers across Instagram and TikTok, among other platforms.

But what does the post-WNBA future have in store for Cunningham?
One author is predicting that Cunningham will ultimately end up having a huge role in American politics.
Cunningham as future Vice President of the United States?
Former Grantland and ESPN Page 2 writer Chuck Klosterman is predicting that Cunningham will ultimately be the Vice President of the United States.
“Sophie Cunningham … I’m going to say 2050, is going to be Vice President of the United States,” Klosterman said on the latest episode of The Bill Simmons Podcast. “I don’t know what party she’ll be in, I don’t know anything about her political views. But she will be the vice presidential candidate, at least the candidate.”
“I don’t know what it is. It’s something about the fact that she wears those sleeves on the court, something about the way she triggers in-bound plays at the end of games, makes me think she will be someone’s ideal vice president. You know, she has a damn likable personality.”
That would be something, but given today's state of American politics, it wouldn't be that shocking.
