Cunningham wasn't happy about the loss and expressed her thoughts on the game to her co-host, West Wilson. The Fever guard spoke about the match on Wednesday's episode of her podcast, "Show Me Something."

“You know what else is not spicy is our freaking (Kansas City) Chiefs losing in their first game. What the hell,” Cunningham said (4:55).

Cunningham said that she was watching the football game and the Fever's contest against the Chicago Sky simultaneously.

“Yeah, dude. I watched every second of it. I was pissed… Our team (Fever) was also playing. We were winning, we were playing (the) Chicago (Sky).

The former Phoenix Mercury guard also revealed that she wasn't present at the Fever game, but instead watched both matches from her suite in Chicago on Friday.

“We were winning by like, 20. So, I was watching that, but I also had (the football game) on my phone. I was in the suite. So, I wasn’t on the bench watching.”

While the Chiefs suffered a loss, the Indiana Fever emerged victorious 97-77 against the Sky, making for a bittersweet evening. Sophie Cunningham will likely tune in for the Chiefs' next game against the defending Super Bowl champions, the Philadelphia Eagles, on Sunday, Sept. 14.
