WATCH: ‘They/Them’ Anchor Loses Brain Cells Over OutKick Founder’s $10M WNBA Challenge
NewsBusters ^ | 6/6/2026 | Joseph Vazquez

Posted on 08/06/2026 10:50:33 AM PDT by JV3MRC

All OutKick founder Clay Travis did was challenge the WNBA and “the Science” cult to put their money where their mouth is and prove that biological males don't have an unfair physical advantage over women in sports, and the alphabet soup mafia in the media are already losing their collective mind.

Travis pledged $10 million August 3 for the WNBA to put their defending champion Las Vegas Aces up against a boys’ high school basketball team of his choosing, with the apparent intent of showcasing the idiocy of biological males competing in women’s sports.

Jana Shortal, an anchor of Twin Cities NBC-affiliate TV station KARE 11 personality, short-circuited her brain seething over Travis’ challenge during the August 3 edition of her show Breaking The News. “Today, [OutKick’s] founder took to a new stunt — one that really makes no sense if OutKick is really concerned about caring about women in women’s sports.” Nah, it makes plenty of sense actually, Shortal.

If you took a McDonald’s All American HS basketball team and played them against the WNBA Champion, the HS Boys would thoroughly dominate the game.

Remember the US Women’s National Soccer team that has won multiple world cups routinely gets dominated by a 15 and under boys team in practice.

She seems on the edge of hysteria and about to go over it.

This morning on the news I saw “highlights” of the Atlanta Dream. They had no more skill, no better moves, than the team of my 12 year old niece. Simple shots were 3 ft short of the basket. Easily catchable balls were not caught and went into the sidelines.

That dude looks queer. He tries to confuse the point by insisting that outkick thinks women’s sports are a joke. The actual joke is that they are unable to admit that men playing as girls is unfair to the real girls. It must be a brain disease.

The proposed game would be about showing that biological males can outperform biological females in most sports. That’s why no actual females should have to compete against biological males. It’s physically dangerous and cheapens female athletes’ efforts.

“”””Remember the US Women’s National Soccer team that has won multiple world cups routinely gets dominated by a 15 and under boys team in practice.””””

Worse than that, that one was UNDER 15 year old boys.

From world champions to humbling defeat against Under 15s side... World Cup-winning USA women’s team suffer 5-2 loss against Dallas academy boys
“They were roundly outplayed, losing 5-2 against FC Dallas Under-15s academy side who took full advantage of their big day. “

Sweden’s women’s national football team suffered a crushing defeat during a friendly in Stockholm on Tuesday, with the country’s top female players finding themselves shutout by an undermanned local boys team.
The new national team coach Pia Sundhage, who returned home last year after taking charge of the US team for several years, decided to let her players tackle the male youth team for Stockholm football club AIK.
Within 30 minutes, the boys had plucked one goal from the women, despite Sundhage asking the AIK under-17 team to take out one of its defenders and play with only 10 players on the field, reports the tabloid Aftonbladet.

Australian women’s national team lose 7-0 to team of 15-year-old boys
Australia’s women’s football team are ranked the fifth best side in world football. So how did they lose 7-0 to a collection of 15-year-old boys?
It is the question gripping the Matildas, who will be targeting a medal at the Rio Olympics in August, after they were embarrassed by the Newcastle Jets under-16s side on Wednesday.

I recently watched a skills event with some top WNBA women competing against some high school boys. The boys totally dominated.

Which is why a McDonald’s All American Boys team would crush any WNBA team.

I’ve had people tell me Caitlan Clark could play in the NBA, I tell them that is crazy and insane.

It would actually be dangerous for any WNBA player to be on the floor with NBA players, Caitlan Clark is maybe 5-8 and 120 pounds, she plays point guard, she would be guarded by a man who is 6-5 200 pounds who is quicker, stronger and could dunk the basketball with ease.

Aja Wilson who is the 2-time MVP of that league is 6-4 and usually plays down low close the basket, she would have a hard time even getting a shot off, she would be embarrassed.

Good for them, but the truth is, and we as Americans should keep in min:

It is easier to avoid tyranny by fighting it before it attains power than it is to fight your way out from under it after that tyranny obtains power.

The Left opened the door and invited them in. They have obtained power in the Democrat Party.

It is the job of the rest of us to fight them now....because the Democrats are powerless to stop the takeover their party now.

I like Clark and Cunningham. But there are zero female players who could play in the NBA.

They’re ZERO WNBA players who could play in the NBA, G-League or any major D1 college basketball team.

My Alma Mater is likely to be the #1 ranked college basketball team in America this upcoming season, their starting front court will all be 6-10 or better, all 3 are projected to be 1st round draft picks and one could be a lottery pick.

It would be dangerous for a WNBA player to be thrown into a NBA game, given the size, strength and power of NBA players, a WNBA player would likely get injured

I am a hockey fan.
Once, I turned mute TV on and there was a hockey game going on.
It was a pretty bad hockey game, I was thinking about which high schools are playing.

It turned out to be Olympic Women Hockey Finale!

Probably the only professional basketball game I’d pay to watch

FYI; Pat Summitt used male practice players to help train her players when she coached at Tennessee. The practice is pretty common in the major NCAA women programs. The male players are good players but usually not D1 caliber. So regarding your post you probably don't need McDonald's All-Americans to beat an WNBA team.
BTW-I think the WNBA also uses "practice guys". They make sure they use "controlled physicality" so the ladies dont get hurt.
