Caitlin was asked about Sophie's stance after Sunday's 108-100 loss to the Minnesota Lynx ... she didn't pick sides, said it was above her pay-grade, claimed it wasn't a topic in the locker room and said she was only focused on winning WNBA games.

“Coach Harbaugh is exactly what he looks like,” Tiki said at the 17th Annual Amazon Kids Back-to-School Fashion Show. “He’s going to wear his emotions on his sleeve. He’s as excited as a lot of his players are to be here. The Giants are a historic franchise, and he wants to restore the glory. He expressed it. I loved it. I think that’s what football players need. They need raw emotion and energy and enthusiasm, and he brings it.”
