“List of cities Indiana has beef with: Detroit, Cleveland, Los Angeles,” read the post.
WNBA announced that Cleveland, Detroit and Philadelphia would receive franchises for the next few years and add Toronto and Portland. Cunningham wondered if fans would flow to the arenas in Cleveland and Detroit.
“I don’t know how excited people are going to Detroit or (Cleveland),” she said on July 1st.
Cunningham clarified her comments while talking to journalists on Thursday, defending “Working with Blue Collar” associated with Cleveland and Detroit.

“First of all, I know WNBA’s story. I know both of these cities have had teams before and they got us where we are, so I’m grateful for that,” she said. “Everything I really got on was Broadway, the off-Court lifestyle, and that’s why I think it’s really exciting. I think Miami’s exciting. That’s all I got.”
“I think it would be fun to get some teams outside the NBA market …. I think people were completely wrong reading the situation. I would never talk down to the middle class, worked with blue collar. That’s where I come from. I’m from Missouri. I got in Indiana, and that’s why I kind of suggest Broadway Sounds fun, Miami sounds funny.
Cunningham also approached the setback for her comments.

“The people who hype you up will be the same people who push you down. And then for me I always stay right here in the middle. I think it was my personal opinion,” she said.
