Why Can't WNBA Coaches Define What a Woman Is?
Salem Media ^ | August 2, 2026 | Kevin McCollough

I have a question, and I promise I'm asking it in good faith, with a smile on my face and my hands raised in the universal gesture of "I genuinely just want to understand." Here it is: why does defining the word "woman" appear to be the single hardest pop quiz in professional sports right now?

Because this week, not one, not two, but three WNBA head coaches were asked some version of the same basic question—should biological males compete in women's sports—and all three responded like I'd asked them to derive the Riemann hypothesis on a napkin.

Indiana Fever coach Stephanie White led off. "I don't know that I would say I'm educated enough from a scientific standpoint," she said, before noting she's not "educated enough at the different levels" to weigh in further. Fair enough, except that Stephanie White coaches in a league whose name has the letter W built directly into it. Not a hidden W. Not a silent W. The very first letter. It's right there on the jerseys.

In fairness, no coach likes to deal with the media. And the media knows this is a trap question, especially for a coach in the WNBA. They don’t get paid enough to deal with that.

It’s not that they can’t define woman, it’s that they are afraid of what the woke mob’s reaction if they correctly define it.

“Why Can’t WNBA Coaches Define What a Woman Is?” They aren’t biologists like one Supreme Court Judge.

Why can’t they? For the same reason that any of the myriad of LGBTQ+ and other Leftist organizations can’t define what a woman is. Ideology. The WNBA is a Leftist niche organization that cosplays as a national sport.

Exactly. Joe Biden put Anthony Kennedy in office after taking down Robert Bork.

SCOTUS judges can’t even answer the question.

Please. Of course the can define what a woman is.

They choose to pretend otherwise as a loyalty test.
Not unlike Ketanji Brown Jackson at her confirmation hearing.

Wait for the first 6-8, 240 lb dude who claims to be a woman to try to join. They won’t ban him. But none of those teams will sign him.

Not hard: Woman = XX chromosomes and Male = XY chromosomes.

All bathrooms should be labeled that way.

It isn’t that they can’t, they won’t. Action Jackson may not be running at too high a frequency but she knows what a woman is. It is part of the Narrative though, to deny reality. That’s what’s going on here. Rejection of a shared reality in favor of fairy tales. “My Truth” means any delusion is equally valid to observable fact.

Biden: “We believe in truth, not facts” is another way to state the same thing.

The reason is that we are in a culture war, and the first casualty of all wars is the truth. In this case, they are willing to play dumb to save their jobs.

Why is it nobody ever talks about how rules are being made to cut boys’ activities, and making it a Hobson’s Choice: Sit out and let the girls have everything or claim to be a girl and offend them? Boys are being told, “No more activities because you’re male”.

I saw professional women’s baseball on tv yesterday. It was a joke. Fielders dropping balls, lots of throwing errors, and a mighty short fence that I didn’t see anyone reach...

If a candidate for the USSC could not come up with “An adult female human being”, why expect a ball player or coach to do so?
