OutKick founder says he will pay $10 million to the winner of a showdown between the Aces and a boys’ high-school championship team of his choosing and floats an all-transgender Nashville franchise to test the league’s inclusion rhetoric.
The OutKick founder announced Monday that he is offering $10 million for a head-to-head basketball game between the defending WNBA champion Las Vegas Aces and a boys’ high-school state championship team of his choice.
In a second proposal, he said he would seek primary ownership of a Nashville WNBA franchise and build a roster and coaching staff entirely around transgender participation. He dubbed the hypothetical team the “Nashville Balls.”

Repost, having said that I don’t trust either potential team not to cut some deal behind the scenes so everyone makes out.
The transgender basketball team idea was already done in the Daily Wire movie, “Ladyballers.”
He's just copying the US women's soccer team vs U16 boys team from years ago.
It’s put-up or shut-up time, ladies.
I hope he chooses the boys’ team from Rainier Beach in Seattle.
Oh - and they have to play with a regulation-sized ball instead of the smaller one they use in the WNBA..
The boys will destroy them.
I might actually watch that.
What Nashville needs is it’s best high school football team go out in shaded visors and win a few pro games while the actual Titans get those weekends off to live thug life and count money. Once a playoff berth is cinched they can finish the season with comparatively few injuries and just possibly end in the top ten.
The boys could make it even more fun by offering the Aces a few million of the winnings as an honorarium if they will just come and lose to them....
Easy money for all.....
Love the Nashville Balls logo! Hope they put out some merch.
The WNBA is toast.
I hope he does the Nashville Balls thing. Very clever object lesson. Would also be entertaining and profitable — a first for the WNBA.
