​Ever since joining the Indiana Fever back in 2025, Sophie Cunningham has seen her star power surge as she has embraced a role as a sort of sidekick to superstar Caitlin Clark. Cunningham has even gone on to describe herself as Sabrina Carpenter to Clark’s Taylor Swift. Now, she is using that platform to speak up on some issues.While Cunningham mostly stays silent on her political views, she could not stay silent on one issue that seems to have caught the national attention in recent months: data centers.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementOver the past several months, the rise in data centers across the country has become a hot-button issue with Americans expressing outrage and concern about the impact on the environment and the quality of life of those in the immediate area, not to mention the sheer amount of space that they take up.While data centers are fueling the recent AI boom, critics have concerns about the massive electricity and water consumption that strain local grids, severe noise pollution from cooling systems, and toxic air emissions from emergency diesel generators.On Thursday, Cunningham decided to use her platform to join the chorus of concerned Americans speaking out against data centers.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisement“So how do we save our farm land and stop all these dumb data centers?” Cunningham asked in a post on X.While Cunningham has never really been outspoken about her political views, despite people making assumptions, ESPN Page 2 writer Chuck Klosterman has predicted that Cunningham will be on a presidential ticket within the next 25 years.“Sophie Cunningham … I’m going to say 2050, is going to be Vice President of the United States,” Klosterman said in an appearance 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.”AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisement“I don’t know what it is. It’s something about the fact that she wears those sleeves on the court, something about the way she triggers in-bound plays at the end of games, makes me think she will be someone’s ideal vice president. You know, she has a damn likable personality.”As for her political views, Cunningham has described herself as “right down the middle.”“All I have to say is I really am right in the middle, and I think a lot of America is like that,” Cunningham said in an interview with The New York Times last year. “In our culture today you have to choose and you have to be an extremist, and that’s just not me. So I agree with things on both sides; I disagree with things on both sides.”The post ‘Stop all these dumb data centers’: Sophie Cunningham takes a stand appeared first on The Comeback: Today’s Top Sports Stories & Reactions.
