"Every company has done it. So I don't really think twice about it. I just think they're another group posting about it."
Cunningham said on her podcast that her technical foul she got for the pointing gesture during the game against the Mercury was "the weakest thing I’ve ever seen in my life" and explaining that she "didn’t say a word" while "all I was doing was literally pointing."
"I couldn't help myself. I could not. She was losing her s--- and all I was doing was literally pointing," Cunningham said.
