Overview

• Sophie Cunningham responded on her Show Me Something podcast, saying Bayless used her name for clicks and asking, “Who’s the clout chaser?”
• Bayless had labeled Cunningham a “shrewd operator” and “clout chaser” in posts and an eight-minute YouTube rant about her leveraging Caitlin Clark’s fame.
• Awful Announcing reported Bayless’ clip drew roughly 2,900 views, while Cunningham’s response garnered far larger reach across social platforms.
• Cunningham’s current profile traces to a June 17 game in which she delivered a hard foul on Jacy Sheldon after Clark was poked in the eye, resulting in her ejection and an “enforcer” label.
• She is out for the season with an MCL tear but remains a visible voice, and her history includes fines for public comments about officiating and opponents.
