Is the WNBA a same-sex attracted league? Clay Travis weighs in and shares a surprising data

Clay Travis, the founder of Outkick, made an appearance on Fox News this week to weigh in on the ongoing drama surrounding Caitlin Clark and the recover of the WNBA. Travis, known for his right-leaning views, suggested that Clark may be facing mistreatment due to her sexuality. He stated, "Caitlin Clark is a white heterosexual woman in a Shadowy lesbian league and they resent and are covetous of all of the attention and the shoe deal that she got."

Travis went on to theorize that the league's resentment towards Clark stems from her being in a relationship with a former Iowa men's basketball player, which contrasts with the sexual orientation of many WNBA players.

He added: "And I think her having a boyfriend, I think it's a fiancé, who by the way said there needs to be an enforcer, creates two different identity politics universes that she doesn't fit in in this league. They don't appreciate her cause she's colorless and they don't prefer her cause she's straight."

However, it's important to write down that Travis' claim about 70 percent of WNBA players being lesbian is not backed by any credible source. In fa

IIRC Candace Parker was roundly criticized by some so-called feminists in and around the WNBA for choosing to accept a break in order to hold a child. So this doesn't sound too far fetched.

Oh my, those vile feminists!!!. Actually, Candace did grief from an aggregate of folks, Sparks fans, sports media commentators who felt she was putting personal interests in front of team (including national team consideration). The latter show is particularly ironic given 2016:

Remember when motherhood wasn?t controversial? « Hot Air

Of course, no chance to take a swipe at "feminists" should ever br foregone (ooh, shudder, shudder, women wanting equal pay and stuff, ooooh scaaaary) but sports media and fans' reactions to Candace's pregnancy HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS ISSUE- that is Wiggin's claim that a straight, attractive women in the WNBA will be endlessly bullied by a 98% majority of lesbian players.

Oh, yeah that estimate would also mean that she and Candace would have been the only straight players in the league.

    Wiggins Trashes WNBA Culture

    I suspect it's some mixture of both ("make stuff up" and "distorted perception").

    One other possibility no one seems to be considering is that it's ~100% true. ???

    In any case I expect there is some dose of truth in there somewhere (smoke/fire theory). As someone mentioned, she's a bright person - could she really be that tone deaf? Anyway I'm not sure "truth" is universal in this case. Everyone probably has their control truth - no 2 players treated exactly the equal.

    My admiration for Candice Wiggins as a Stanford player and all around nice kid---makes take a role of defender--I never saw her WNBA games, ever.
    Perceptions be damned--she to me was overstating for effect--knowing entire well the numbers were not identical. Or she had the infirmity of someone my age who know the exact number but it just won't be dumped from the brains terminal.
    If you knew the levels of defense i hold given the local Gay community you'd realize I'm not phobic.
    The bullying part --and wanting retribution--may have driven her to depths/heights she felt she had to pay advocate in some way--regardless
