A 22-second clip featuring Indiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham pointing and staring at rival WNBA player DeWanna Bonner goes viral online and spreads rapidly across social media. Multiple outlets describe the moment as a confrontation that escalates during a Monday night game, after which Cunningham is shown being ushered away by Fever staff. The video quickly becomes a dominant meme of the WNBA season, with viewers posting variations and commenting on what Cunningham’s gesture means.
Forbes focuses on where the meme originated and highlights Cunningham’s comments about the incident.
