Episode Details

Boosie Badazz’s fiery X post reignites the WNBA’s transgender athlete debate, sparking controversy after he suggests trans women shouldn’t play in the league—and should instead try out for the NBA. The uproar centers on Julie Tét, a standout French player from Monaco who’s eyeing an WNBA spot despite not receiving an offer. Her impressive stats and coming-out story have made her a focal point in the broader conversation. Indiana Fever’s Sophie Cunningham joins the fray, arguing trans women shouldn’t compete against biological women to protect young athletes—though critics call her stance hypocritical given her past boys’ football days. Meanwhile, Minnesota Lynx coach Cheryl Reeve pushes back fiercely, wearing a “Trans Kids Belong” shirt and calling trans women “not predators.” The WNBA is now caught in a whirlwind of conflicting views, protests, and public statements as players, coaches, and fans grapple with how to navigate this sensitive and evolving issue.
