It was a build up for a couple years now of them just not, not protecting the star player in the WNBA. And so at the end of the day, I'm going to protect my teammates, that's what I do," she said.

Sophie Cunningham's Outfit Makes Statement on Sunday

Sophie Cunningham's Outfit Makes Statement on Sunday originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Sophie Cunningham has a new nickname with her Indiana Fever teammates, and it's not "The Enforcer." Cunningham, 28, has been experiencing a huge boost in popularity on the heels of her actions against the Connecticut Sun on Tuesday. Advertisement After retaliating against Sun guard Jacy Shelton, who got a flagrant foul for poking Caitlin Clark in the eye earlier in the game, Cunningham's social media following exploded. She gained over 1 million followers on TikTok, where the WNBA veteran often flexes her gameday outfits. Her wardrobe on Sunday when she arrived for the Fever's road game against the Las Vegas Aces proved that she has been reading all the comments online. Indiana Fever guard Lexie Hull (10), Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark (22), and Indiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham (8) laugh near the team Smith/IndyStar / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images Cunningham, Clark and Indiana guard Lexie Hull formed a strong bond as soon as Cunningham arrived from the Phoenix Mercury in the offseason, commenting on each other's social media posts and standing up for one another on the court as well. Advertisement Fans online started the nickname "Tres Leches" to refer to the Fever trio, and Cunningham made quite the statement by acknowledging the name for her teammate trio with a custom tee in Las Vegas. Based on the evidence since the internet rallied behind Cunningham for defending Clark on Tuesday, the shirts may sell out quickly. The Indiana Fever team store sold out of Cunningham jerseys by Wednesday morning and had to be temporarily shut down due to the unprecedented volume of orders. With the hole in the market, her alma mater, Missouri, even stepped in to help fill the demand by releasing a Sophie Cunningham "legacy collection." Advertisement The players understand how to leverage their marketing power. Cunningham followed her entrance by sharing a prepared statement to the WNBA about the upcoming collective bargaining negotiations before the game. "This is a defining moment in the WNBA," she said. "As the league grows, it's time for the CBA that reflects our true value. We are fighting for a fair share of business that we built, because it is a business. We are not fighting for anything that is unreasonable."

Sophie Cunningham shows her love for Caitlin Clark with personalized arrival outfit... hours after slamming refs

Sophie Cunningham continued to back Caitlin Clark as she arrived for the Indiana Fever's clash against the Las Vegas Aces - this time with her outfit choices. The 28-year-old was thrust into the spotlight this week after she avenged her Fever teammate by tackling Connecticut Sun star Jacy Sheldon to the court on Tuesday night. Five days later, and the Fever are back in action in Sin City, where Cunningham proved yet again whose side she's on. The 6-foot-1 basketball star opted to give a nod to Clark following the contentious week of controversy, arriving at T-Mobile Area in a baggy white 'Tres Leches' t-shirt. The shirt, sold by Barstool Sports, is a nod to Cunningham, Clark and teammate Lexie Hull and the moniker their trio has earned. Cunningham arrived in Indiana during the offseason after being traded by the Phoenix Mercury and appeared to immediately bond with Clark and Hull, cementing their posse. Fans picked up on their friendship and began dubbing them the 'Tres Leches,' which means the Three Milks. Cunningham's outfit choice comes just hours after she hit out at the WNBA referees in an attempt to justify her actions during Tuesday's clash against the Sun. 'I'm not focused on the extracurricular activities,' Cunningham said at practice on Saturday. 'And you know what, during that, it was just part of the game. I think the refs had a lot to do with that. 'It was a buildup for a couple of years now of them just not protecting the star player of the WNBA. And so at the end of the day, I'm going to protect my teammates. That's what I do. And I'm a team player, so it's all good.' Fever coach Stephanie White echoed that sentiment, saying the refs lacked 'control' of the game and that 'we knew this was gonna happen' in the first quarter. Clark was prodded in the eye by Connecticut's Sheldon, who had previously been caught in a heated exchange with the Fever guard, before being slammed to the floor by Marina Mabrey in a violent moment that sparked outrage. Mabrey escaped with a mere technical, while Sheldon was handed a flagrant 1. But Cunningham wasn't letting it slide. With 46.1 seconds remaining in the game, Cunningham wrapped her arms around Sun guard Sheldon's head and pulled her to the ground in an act of revenge after her foul on Clark. Footage that emerged after the game showed that Cunningham also tried to get involved in the initial scuffle involving Clark. In the video, Cunningham - who was out of the game at the time - could be seen briefly trying to run towards the fracas before being intercepted by assistant coach Austin Kelly. Kelly then held onto Cunningham for several seconds before the incident died down. Cunningham received a fine from the league after the game, while Mabrey's technical foul (assessed for her shove on Clark) was also upgraded to a flagrant two foul, which came with a corresponding fine for such an infraction. The tension between Clark and Sheldon had been building from earlier in the game, as the pair found themselves in a feisty exchange, with the Fever star firing off a volatile message after Sheldon appeared to say: 'You can't do that.' 'I can do whatever the f*** I want to do,' Clark said to Sheldon before shoving her away. Mabrey also stepped in to give a little shove to Clark, though things didn't escalate further in that situation.

Flavor First: How India's Bold New Palate Is Shaping the Next Generation of Food Brands

India's new generation of food lovers is driving a bold, global shift in flavor, health, and innovation across the culinary landscape. From fiery peri-peri sauces to cloud-soft tiramisu, India's evolving culinary appetite is reshaping the contours of food entrepreneurship. A younger, more globally exposed generation of consumers is not only demanding more from what's on their plate but also from the brands that bring those experiences to life. Driven by a preference for bold flavors, health-forward ingredients, and global influences, Indian food brands are undergoing a transformation like never before. And at the heart of this evolution lies one defining principle: Flavor First. 'India's food scene is going through a revolutionary transformation," says Griffith David, Founder & CEO, Habanero Foods. 'Traditionally renowned for its complex, rich, and spicy flavors, today's next generation of Indian consumers is embracing even bolder, more varied tastes." Nowhere is this more visible than in the rise of contemporary condiments—flavor-forward dips, sauces, and chutneys that marry classic Indian spices with global twists. Tamarind chutneys with a smoky edge, garlicky aiolis tinged with desi masala, and peri-peri sauces that have made their way from Portuguese grills to Indian lunch tables—these products are emblematic of the modern Indian pantry. advetisement Importantly, these products aren't just about taste. 'With convenience at the forefront of today's hectic lifestyles, Indian dips and sauces are evolving to include low-fat, preservative-free, and plant-based versions," adds David. 'Consumers seek not only taste but also alternatives that suit their increasingly health-conscious lifestyles." Sweet Innovation: Desserts Get a Global Makeover 'In India, desserts have moved far beyond being just the sweet end to a meal; they've become a canvas for creativity, expression, and global discovery," shares Himanshu Chawla, co-founder, Bakingo. Desserts like Tres Leches, Tiramisu, and Basque Cheesecake are no longer niche in the Indian market, they're front-runners, even in Tier 2 cities. 'The rise of indulgent yet aesthetic formats like Dream Cakes reflects how Indian consumers are engaging with desserts more deeply they are seeking experiences that delight the senses and spark excitement," notes Chawla. For Bakingo, innovation and reliability go hand-in-hand. 'It's not just about following trends; it's about adapting to what excites Indian dessert lovers: layered textures, lighter bakes, international appeal, and always, uncompromised quality," he explains. According to Chawla, future-ready food brands must balance authenticity with invention, delivering global sophistication with local soul. Coffee Shops as Culture Hubs: The Barista Evolution India's cafés are no longer just about grabbing a cappuccino, they are becoming dynamic cultural spaces that blend wellness, indulgence, and community. Rajat Agarwal, CEO, Barista Coffee, believes today's café experience is about much more than caffeine. 'One of the clearest shifts we've seen? People want to enjoy their coffee and also take care of their health," says Agarwal. This consumer insight led to the launch of Barista's Zero Sugar Coffee range—offering all the flavor of their premium blends, without added sugar. But the evolution doesn't stop there. 'On the other end, there's playfulness," Agarwal adds, referencing Bubble Delight, Barista's take on the Boba beverage trend. 'It's fun, interactive, and surprisingly comforting. Our younger guests especially love it." Barista has also teamed up with Twiddles, cricket legend Yuvraj Singh's clean snacking brand, offering functional snacks like protein bars and power bytes alongside their beverages. 'The modern Indian café is no longer just a caffeine pit stop—it's a social space that brings together wellness, flavor, fun, and culture," says Agarwal. 'In this bold new India, coffee is just the beginning." Advertisement The Culinary Future: Health, Global Trends & Conscious Consumption According to Chef Dheeraj Mathur, Cluster Executive Chef at Radisson Blu, Kaushambi, the transformation of India's culinary landscape is as much about experience as it is about flavor. 'With rising disposable incomes, increased health awareness, and exposure to international cuisines, today's Indian consumers, especially millennials and Gen Z are driving demand for premium, high-quality, and artisanal food products," says Mathur. This new consciousness extends to every aspect of food creation—from fermentation and sous-vide cooking to transparent sourcing, sustainability, and digital engagement. 'Health-forward trends like superfoods, cold-pressed oils, and vegan alternatives are now central to many menus," notes Mathur. 'Storytelling, flavor innovation, and ethical practices are no longer optional—they're essential to success." A Flavorful Future Led by Young Palates India's next generation of food consumers is bold, curious, and uncompromising. They are seeking out flavors that are adventurous yet authentic, and food experiences that resonate with both their taste buds and their values. advetisement top videos View All From sauce jars in kitchen cupboards to intricately crafted cakes, and from café counters to five-star menus, food brands across India are rapidly adapting to meet these expectations. The common thread? A relentless pursuit of flavor, supported by innovation, health consciousness, and storytelling. As these voices from the industry make clear, the future of Indian food is not only global and health-conscious, it's thrillingly flavorful. And this time, flavor isn't just an ingredient. It's the identity.
