Is the WNBA a lesbian league?

If you read what Candice Wiggins had to say when she retired prematurely, in 2015, you’d think so:

“I wanted to play two more seasons of WNBA, but the experience didn’t lend itself to my mental state. It was a depressing state in the WNBA. It’s not watched. Our value is diminished. It can be quite hard. I didn’t like the culture inside the WNBA, and without revealing too much, it was toxic for me… My spirit was being broken… Me being heterosexual and straight, and being vocal in my identity as a straight woman was huge. I would say 98 per cent of the women in the WNBA are gay women. It was a conformist type of place. There was a whole different set of rules they could apply. There was a lot of jealousy and competition, and we’re all fighting for crumbs. The way I looked, the way I played – those things contributed to the tension. People were deliberately trying to hurt me all of the time. I had never been called the B-word so many times in my life than I was in my rookie season. I’d never been thrown to the ground so much. The message was: ‘We want you to know we don’t like you’.”

Sounds like what some people think is happening now, to new star Caitlin Clark, who is also straight.

But you know me. I make lemonade from a few broken eggs. Or an omelet from lemons.

There is a way out of this mess.

TWO completely separate women’s pro basketball leagues.

The Lesbian Basketball Association, and the Straight Women’s Basketball Association.

That new distinction alone is going to interest fans and put people in the seats and eyeballs on the TV screen.

And the huge payoff comes at the end of the season.

The winner in each league goes up against each other in a super playoff. Not just best out of seven games. No.

Best out of 21 games.

BANG.

For the undisputed championship of women’s basketball.

The chatter and accusations on sports talk shows, on the news, on social media—a hurricane:

ARE LESBIANS A DIFFERENT SPECIES?
