Not stopping there, Cunningham also frankly criticized those who intentionally put Clark down:

“I used to play against Caitlin and now I’m on the same side as her. If anyone thinks she’s overrated, try going on the field and facing her. I guarantee they won’t be able to say such nonsense anymore.”
