OutKick founder Clay Travis has challenged the WNBA to a ‘modern-day battle of the sexes’ basketball game between the reigning WNBA champion Las Vegas Aces and a boy’s high school basketball state championship team. The challenge comes as the WNBA finds itself at the center of a transgender culture debate after Indiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham said girls should not have to compete against biological men in women’s sports.

Travis’ Proposal

Travis proposed a head-to-head matchup to be broadcast on pay-per-view, with all profits donated to Tunnels 2 Towers. He predicted the game would generate millions of dollars and offered a $10 million prize to the winning team.

The challenge has sparked a fierce backlash, with some women’s sports advocates rallying behind Cunningham’s stance. However, others have criticized Travis’ proposal, calling it ‘absurd’ and ‘ludicrous.’ WNBA Commissioner Cathy Engelbert has not publicly defended Cunningham or spoken in favor of maintaining women’s-only competition.

Debate Over Trans Policy

The debate over trans policy in women’s sports has been ongoing, with some arguing that biological men should not be allowed to compete against women. Others argue that trans athletes should be allowed to compete in the category that aligns with their gender identity.

Travis’ challenge has brought attention to the issue, with many calling for the WNBA to take a stance on the matter. The WNBA has not responded to Travis’ proposal, and it remains to be seen how the league will address the issue.
