NEED TO KNOW
- Sophie Cunningham monetizes her newfound WNBA fame by starting an unusual side business.
- Demand skyrockets from celebrities seeking the league’s toughest protection.
- Teammates now require appointments for Cunningham’s in-game protection services.
From Court Defense to Celebrity Security Detail
Capitalizing on her sudden surge of fame for fiercely protecting teammate Caitlin Clark, Indiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham officially launched her new venture, “Enforcer Elite,” a premium bodyguard service targeting the notoriously vulnerable celebrity market.
“Celebrities are basically the Caitlin Clarks of society,” Cunningham explained. “If refs aren’t protecting them, someone needs to. That’s where I come in.”
Immediate Celebrity Demand
Within hours of announcing her venture, Cunningham was inundated with requests from Hollywood stars, TikTok influencers, and even several politicians. Her aggressive on-court reputation, boosted by viral altercations and the now-famous “Tres Leches” team solidarity shirt, assures clients they’ll get protection so intense, even paparazzi flinch.
Her teammates initially expressed excitement over the business until realizing Cunningham now requires advance booking to intervene during in-game scuffles. Indiana Fever management remains supportive, hoping to capitalize on this trend by selling VIP “Bodyguard Experience” seats next season.
Taekwondo Credentials Seal the Deal
When asked about qualifications, Cunningham proudly cited her black belt in Taekwondo. “Basketball and martial arts share a philosophy,” she asserted. “Both involve repeatedly blocking things from hitting you in the face—be it fists, elbows, or basketballs.”
Quote of the moment
We thought we hired Sophie for a birthday party gig. Turns out it was a full SWAT-style extraction from paparazzi. Five stars, highly recommend.
