NBA And Adam Silver Silent On WNBA Banning OutKick From Covering Brittney Griner Games
Outkick ^ | June 6, 2025 | Bobby Burack

Posted on 06/07/2025 7:51:21 AM PDT by MinorityRepublican

The WNBA continues to deny OutKick a credential to cover Atlanta Dream games. The team and league claim they can't accommodate our requests due to "very limited space."

We appreciate the emphasis on "very."

Still, no one actually believes the WNBA can't find the "space" for us to cover a regular-season game involving the Dream and Connecticut Sun. WNBA games in June are hardly the Super Bowl, where reporters from all across the country clamor for access.

In fact, the Sun granted several media credentials to OutKick last year, including a playoff game featuring the Indiana Fever and Caitlin Clark.

What changed? Put simply, Brittney Griner.

The WNBA won't credential OutKick for Sun games because it doesn't want us to ask Griner about a viral clip in which she appears to utter "trash ******* white girl" from the bench in a matchup against the Fever.

I’ve heard the women’s NBA has never made a profit.

Do they have any sort of business plan to eventually turn the corner? And turn a profit?

Or is the business plan that the NBA will always subsidize the women’s NBA, to show their support for women’s sports or some other humanitarian reason.Everyone?

The WNBA is not an organization that can afford to be choosy about who covers it.

You've got it. The WNBA does not have a practical business model and WNBA player salaries are subsidized by the NBA, which means NBA players are basically paying WNBA players to play a game no one watches.

Without any intentional slur to Catholicism per se, the WNBA is the NBA equivalent of Catholic Charities.

CC has been an organization largely subsidized by an outside entity for the purpose of acting in a political manner, in CC's case being the support for massive population invasion.

By the same token, the WNBA is largely subsidized by the NBA for the purpose of supporting both leftist feminism and sexual perversion. This is why drafting Caitlin Clark was the most counter-revolutionary of acts, since it brings to light both the leftist feminism and the sexual perversion to a market which in theory the WNBA would desperately desire, but in fact vigorously despises.

The NBA could get far more out of the money they waste on gifting the WNBA. Even in a regular interest bearing checking account. And also, none of the stupid feelz and unnecessary drama. Its better than peeing it away on a tax write off.

Why arent women going to their sisters wnba games? Where is women power to make the wnba profitable? Its their league. Fund it with ticket purchases, and show up.

Caitlin Clark was a token to point to, to legitimize the wnba. See, not all our players are black. See, not all our players are lesbians.

They only exist and survive as dependents and beneficiaries of the NBA. Sort of like a weirdly tall blackface version of Handmaid’s Tale.

I was a professional sports photographer for a number of years. While my “beat” was college sports, I am familiar with the end lines of basketball courts. At a Celtics game, there are very limited spots. The spots were marked on the floor and you shared the line with several other photographers and the video guys.

For UConn Women’s basketball, there was more room—but not too many were switching “ends” after half time.

But that is for the photographers who NEED to be close to the floor.

The writers sit along the desks on upper levels of the area. They tend to bunch them up at the top corners of the first level. At a recent regular season Orlando/Boston game, I sat next to one of the press sections. There were two people in a section that could hold ten.

Many writers stay back in the press room and watch the game on the big screen TV. They go out to the floor at the start of the game and at the end. They are more focused on the interviews at the end of the game.

The writers like to be near the food in the press room. They are like herd animals who do not wander far from the water hole.

Trust someone familiar with how this stuff works, for a regular season WNBA game there is plenty of room for the press. They want as much press coverage as they can get. This team is lying.

The funny thing is that Caitlin Clark is a liberal and she was able to recieve an education at Iowa (indoctrination?) so you would think that the WNBA would welcome her stardom to the league.

Nope. There's an agenda in the WNBA and Caitlin Clark is not a part of that even though she's a great "ally" to their cause.

In fact, they would prefer that they force her to quit the league to play professional golf instead even though it will mean that the WNBA will never end up profitable.

Adam Silver is okay with it. It's a tax write-off for the NBA.

Brittany Broker is a guy. Why is everyone pretending he’s a woman for Gods sake? The Russians knew which jail to put him in. 😏

Going back to the Bolsheviks, Marxists/leftists hate having light shined on their activities. They cannot function in truth.

-The murders of Romanovs and millions of farmers.

-Child genital mutilation.

-Gotta-pass-it-to-see-what’s-in-it.

-Colorado voting machines.

-Hunter’s laptop.

-Fake female athletes are real.

-Parents at school board meetings are bad.

-Joe Biden is sharp.

-Omitting race and immigration info in reports.

-Russia hoax.

-You can keep your doctor.

-I didn’t have sex with that woman.

Etc., etc., etc., etc.... and on and on. They are enemies of truth, which is an existential threat to them. Lying is essential to thier power, their very existence.

To be expected from godless who insist on killing millions of America’s babies, then faggotizing and mutilating the survivors.

It was the WNBA equivalent of the Dems using RFKJr as proof that they weren't all far-left nutsos, but he, like Caitlin, wasn't revolutionary enough for the revolutionaries, like Danton to Robespierre, or Trotsky to Stalin.

RKFJr ended up on our side, and Clark will get tired of the trouble and go live a normal life, and be happy with it.
