​Former ESPN columnist and renowned author Chuck Klosterman gave a bold prediction for Sophie Cunningham. Klosterman thinks Cunningham would be running for vice president in 24 years. While the writer admitted being clueless about the Fever star’s political preferences, he felt she had the personality to enter the space.“Sophie Cunningham … in 2050 is going to be the vice president of the United States,” Klosterman said on The Bill Simmons Podcast. “I don’t know what party she’ll be in, I don’t know anything about her political views, but she will be the vice presidential candidate, at least the candidate.”Klosterman cited his viral take from last year on Simmons’ podcast when he said that Cooper Flagg’s career would compare to Detlef Schrempf’s. He admitted he was wrong, but that’s pushed him to make even bolder predictions, which led to his prediction for Cunningham.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementKlosterman added:“I don’t know what it is about the fact that she [Sophie] wears those sleeves on the court.
