WNBA Indiana Fever star Sophie Cunningham has signed with 3 Arts Sports in hopes of expanding her career into entertainment, media and broader business ventures.
Ms. Cunningham will continue to be represented by her attorney, Perry Rogers, CEO and founder of PRP. “We are thrilled to partner with Three Arts Sports and combine our expertise on the court and marketing with their knowledge in media and entertainment to provide the strongest network for true multihyphenate athletes,” said Rogers. “Sophie is as dynamic as ever, and it was important to us to build a team around her that can execute that vision beyond the court.”
Cunningham is one of the WNBA’s biggest names, leading the Fever to the Commissioner’s Cup championship last year. She has already made her foray into media with her podcast ‘Show Me Something’.
“Sophie represents today’s athlete: bold, expressive and driven by a purpose beyond the sport,” Aaron and Andre Eanes, co-heads of Three Arts Sports, said in a joint statement. “She brings a strong point of view, natural charisma, and a clear vision of where she wants to go next. We are excited to work with her existing team to help build a platform that extends her impact into entertainment, storytelling, and meaningful business opportunities.”
Cunningham follows a long tradition of professional athletes turning to entertainment, with stars like LeBron James, Peyton Manning, Stephen Curry, Megan Rapinoe, Sue Bird and Blake Griffin starting production companies, and Cunningham’s WNBA rival Angel Reese joining the cast of Season 2 of Netflix’s “Hunting Wives.”
