WNBA player Sophie Cunningham has announced that she was fined $500 by the league over a TikTok video she posted last week.
The Fever star was mocking referees in the short clip.
“I got fined $500 for this TikTok,” Cunningham wrote in a post on X, along with crying laughing emojies. “idk why this is funny to me… like ok you got it bud! Cause there’s not more important things to be worried about with our league right now.”

The video features the basketball player repeating the words to Sabrina Carpenter’s song “Manchild” with a caption of “@ some referees.”
“Stupid. Or is it slow? Maybe, it’s useless,” the lyrics say.
The New York Post reports:
Cunningham was fined last month for her role in a fiery incident during the Sun-Fever game, where she defended Clark after she was hit in the eye by Sun guard Jacy Sheldon.
She hit out at the refs afterward as well with postgame comments.
“During that, it was just part of the game. I think the refs had a lot to do with that,” she said. “It was a build-up for a couple [of] years now of them just not protecting the star player of the WNBA. At the end of the day, I’m going to protect my teammates.
“That’s what I do.”
