WNBA Culture, Race and Sexual Orientation Dynamics
Victor Davis Hanson's analysis of the WNBA suggests the league's established culture—which he describes as predominantly Black and gay—is hostile toward new stars like Caitlin Clark and Sophie Cunningham. The hosts discuss how resentment toward "white heterosexual" players manifests in physical play and media coverage. They compare this to a "gospel of envy" where greatness is attacked if it doesn't fit a specific social group.
