The WNBA has been struggling to define what a woman is, and commissioner Cathy Engelbert’s past statements are raising eyebrows. In her 2019 introductory press conference, Engelbert emphasized the importance of women’s leadership and advancement, using the word ‘woman’ 33 times.

Contradictory Statements

However, when asked about the participation of transgender athletes in women’s basketball, Engelbert’s tone changed. She stated that the topic is ‘complex and nuanced’ and that the league will continue to have conversations about it. This shift in stance has sparked criticism, with some accusing the WNBA of hypocrisy.

Engelbert’s past experiences as a woman in a male-dominated industry were highlighted in her 2019 press conference. She spoke about her upbringing, her business endeavors, and her passion for women’s basketball. Her words seemed to convey a clear understanding of what it means to be a woman.

Now, as the WNBA faces controversy over transgender athletes, Engelbert’s inability to define what a woman is has sparked debate. The league’s decision to form a task force to tackle the issue has been met with skepticism, and fans are calling for clarity on the matter.
