Why Did the WNBA Turn on Caitlin Clark and Sophie Cunningham? | The Brief

Has the WNBA lost sight of women's sports? From Caitlin Clark and Sophie Cunningham to the growing controversy over transgender athletes, is the league putting politics ahead of female athletes?

In this episode of The Brief: Insights From The Inside, Shabbos Kestenbaum sits down with National Review journalist Caroline Downey to discuss the controversies surrounding Caitlin Clark, her rivalry with Angel Reese, and the WNBA's response to debates over fairness in women's sports. They examine Sophie Cunningham's outspoken defense of sex-based athletic categories, the confrontation involving two teenage fans wearing XX-XY Athletics shirts, and why these controversies continue to divide the sports world.

The conversation also explores Title IX, including a federal whistleblower investigation into the Biden administration's enforcement of the law, and the broader debate over transgender participation in women's sports. Finally, Caroline examines modern feminism, the challenges facing young men and women in dating, and whether new technology is making it easier for women to balance motherhood and careers. Is modern feminism empowering women—or creating new challenges for the next generation?
