The clip resurfaced on social media in November.Cunningham laughed and explained that she had expected Cowherd to use a much less flattering description.

00:01Sophie Cunningham was N.O.T. expecting this question from Colin Cowherd during a podcast
00:07interview. The sports host hesitated before describing the Indiana Fever star as one of the
00:12WNBA's biggest sex symbols. And I don't know any other term. A little bit is the league's.
00:21Just say it. I don't care. Sex symbol. Is that fair? Hey, that is way better. I thought you're
00:27going to go somewhere completely different with this. So I'll take it. So, but my take is you lean
00:33into it a little bit like. But instead of getting offended, Cunningham burst out laughing. She admitted
00:39she'd been expecting something much worse and happily accepted the description. Cowherd then
00:44pointed out how Sophie combines her fearless, physical playing style with her love of fashion.
00:50And Cunningham made it clear that being feminine and being a tough basketball player can absolutely
00:55go together.
