Congratulations Pouring In For Sophie Cunningham Monday, 'So Cool'
Sophie Cunningham might not be one of the best players in the WNBA in 2025, but she's quickly become one of the most popular on social media.
The former University of Missouri guard, who spent the first six years of her career with the Phoenix Mercury, is now Caitlin Clark's teammate in Indiana. That has been very good for her social media profile. Cunningham, who served as Clark's "enforcer" in a game against the Connecticut Sun earlier this season, has blown up on social media.
Cunningham has more than 1.1 million followers on social media. She's landed some impressive endorsements as a result of her following, too, including Ring and Adidas.
Over the weekend, Cunningham announced the latest endorsement deal. It's a cool one.
Cunningham teamed up with fast food restaurant Arby's for a cool endorsement deal.
"look who has the meats now #ArbysPartner," she wrote on her Instagram page to her 1.1 million followers.
Congratulations are pouring in for Cunningham, who's landed yet another national endorsement deal. It's a cool opportunity for the former University of Missouri grad to grow her brand.
"Soooo good omg 😩😩😩," one fan wrote.
"SHE HAS THE MEATS," her teammate, Lexie Hull, joked on social media.
"Iconic 😂😍👏," one fan added.
"Beautiful Sophie. Nice win ❤️," one fan added.
"HS us would be so proud!!!! WE HAVE THE MEATSSS," one fan added.
"That's actually a really funny and fitting partnership," another fan added.
"Better her get paid this way … cuz we know the WNBA ain't cutting it," another fan added.
"😂👏❤️Te amo Sofía!! 😂 you're the best !" one fan added.
It's cool to see that national brands are taking chances on WNBA players, especially considering that they're making such little money in terms of contracts. Most WNBA players are making around $100,000 - if that. Clark's rookie contract is for $70,000 per season.
Arby's is likely playing up to work with Cunningham - and the brand is probably finding out that it is very much worth it.

📲 Colombo, Baywatch, Interstellar: July's top football news 😂
We've reached August and the market has already offered important and unexpected moves, some of which were accompanied by... particular announcements. Let's take a look at the posts from some clubs that entertained social media or hyped up their fans. Watch all of Napoli's friendlies LIVE on OneFootball! Click here from the app to purchase Napoli-Stade Brestois 29. Buchanan - Baywatch Villarreal announced the signing of Tajon Buchanan in Baywatch style, a famous TV show from the 80s. The hook is in the name of one of its characters: Mitch Buchannon. Burnley - "Guess who's back", TOP 5 and Walker Recently, Burnley announced the renewal of Esteve with the TOP 5 of the most important moments in recent history: after some truly memorable events (such as the announcement of the first iPhone), the club put the player's contract signing at number 1. Burnley previously announced the return of Jacob Bruun Larsen in a comic book style, using the song "Guess who's back, back again?" And at the beginning of July, the arrival of Kyle Walker was anticipated by a video that was both kitsch and nostalgic, recreating the video of the 1983 song "Hello", using the phrase "Hello, is it me you're looking for?" and transforming it into "Hello, is this the reveal you're looking for?" Genoa - Ostigard and Champagne + Colombo (Cristoforo and Tenente) Genoa always stands out on social media, and the announcements of Ostigard and Colombo were no exception. The defender was paired with the phrase "Oysters and champagne" from the song "Settimana Bianca" by Pagante. Lorenzo Colombo's face was replaced with that of Cristoforo Colombo within a painting. The player's face also took the place of that of Tenente Colombo, a famous character from an Italian TV series. Palermo - the friendly match against Manchester City Palermo posted a hint in mid-July: "A sailboat is ready to arrive in Palermo", referring to the symbol of Manchester City that would arrive in the city. The friendly match was confirmed at the end of the month with the claim "Nordic warriors": the Finnish Pohjanpalo and the Norwegian Haaland. Juventus - The frozen jersey for J. David Juventus took advantage of Jonathan David's nickname "Iceman" on several occasions. Notably, the club gave the player a frozen jersey to introduce the explanation of his nickname. Galatasaray - Osimhen and "limunat" As a teaser for Osimhen's official announcement, Galatasaray posted a video with the player's iconic mask accompanied by a particular audio: the Neapolitan version of the song "ERA - Ameno", created in 2021 and gone viral on social media. Mbeumo - farewell in Interstellar style In this case, it was Mbeumo himself who bid farewell to Brentford with a video posted on social media along with the club: a review of the best moments with Brentford in Interstellar style, complete with acting by the striker.
