Sophie Cunningham has a message for WNBA players struggling with criticism from fans: grow up.

After Kelsey Mitchell opened up about the hate, scrutiny and pressure that comes with playing for the Indiana Fever alongside Caitlin Clark, Sophie offered a very different perspective on what comes with being a professional athlete.

In this episode of SMH with Shemeka Michelle, we’re comparing two very different attitudes about criticism, equality and what happens when the spotlight finally gets brighter.

You can’t demand the benefits of a higher level while resenting the pressure that comes with it.

No excuses. Just accountability.
