Candice Wiggins was a college star at Stanford, the third pick of the 2008 WNBA draft and a 2011 champion. And at the mountaintop of her basketball career, her sexuality marred the moment.
There is a “very, very harmful” culture running throughout the WNBA, she says, which saw her get bullied during her eight-year career because she is heterosexual.
Wiggins, who last played in the league in 2015, said she retired prematurely to leave a league that she estimated — wildly — is 98 percent lesbian, and which is played in such isolation that it weighs on the people on the court.

Dated a girl many years ago (good athlete and competitor) who played league softball. Told me there were gay teams and straight teams, because straight girls couldn't just play without the drama that enswirls the homosexual community.
It's a different world - and not one for normal heterosexuals.
Not a Milo fan, but sick, evil behaviors always lead to sick, evil societies.
That is why in a true “justice” system, we have laws that only promote “public virtue” as Montesquieu stated just law has to do
We now have a vice system and it will only promote vice in children and adults. It will collapse what “culture” we have left, like the vulgar, homoerotic Weimar Republic did to the Germans. Tyranny will result.
Whoa...nice TMBG reference.
Candace Wiggins is switching (not to women) to a professional volleyball league.
What’s a WNBA?
Wife played volleyball at Stanford, so was pretty familiar with the women’s bball culture. She said they basically force the freshmen into “the lifestyle” as soon as they get there. I can only imagine how much more intense it gets in the WNBA. I’m obviously a big advocate of women’s athletics, but much, much, much prefer the non-contact variety . . . tennis, volleyball, diving, etc.
My father used to umpire Canadian softball championships, including—ahem—ladies’ tournaments. Every tournament, without exception, had some sort of lesbian relationship drama, be it lovers’ quarrels, wild parties in the motels, and so on. Pretty ugly stuff, especially the women.
Lick?
LPGA players are known around here as “dikes on spikes”
There was a professional Women's league back in the 70s. My sister, not a lesbian, was personally asked by Wilt Chamberlain (I think he was the new team owner) to be on his team and she declined.
My sister did not think the league would last long and she was right.
98% seems kinda high- I’m sure the % is high, but that high? Nearly 100%? Are only lesbians attracted to Basketball?
I won’t even watch thuggish MEN playing basketball. I’m certainly not going to watch thuggish women.
Interesting comments in this thread-—many refusing to defend the straight girl and essentially excusing the lesbian bullies for attacking her. Sad!
The WNBA - Where you can lick your opponent.
It is like how you will see a job where all the people speak Spanish. Are only Spanish speaking people attracted to that job? No. But once you have a group culture that only advertises to and filters out all but one group that is what you end up with.
Those who do not comply are forced out.
The point seems to be that “straight” women are driven out of basketball, not that they aren’t attracted to it in the first place. I wouldn’t expect the dyke percentage to be as high as 98% but the description of the situation is hardly surprising.
This a problem even at the colleges. My daughter plays on a school club team. Other universities take their club teams very seriously. Her school does not take sports very seriously in general. The team is run by lesbians and her girlfriend and her drinking buddies make up a part of the team. My daughter is a decent athlete, not at NCAA level but she is certainly a capable club level player. She has a full schedule and even works for the NCAA coaches. But she loves the game and makes time to practice go to the gym and attend games. Having watch this team play it is obviously a good old party girls club. Players out of shape and certainly not at their prime play regularly, I asked my daughter why are those girls playing and her general response is “oh that is the female coaches girlfriend or she is close with one of the other females who is drinking buddies with the coach etc. Stepping aside as a father and looking at it as a coach myself, there are some really good former high school athletes on the bench, most of whom quit after a few games. They see what is happening and say the heck with it. My daughter loves the game and won’t quit. At school, she has been teased for being straight and not being sexually active, but for me I am proud of her. Not easy having values and morals these days.
If you can't stuff 'em, let 'em dribble.
It’s some of the most boring basketball you’ll ever watch. Like watching a bunch of 2nd graders play basketball during recess.
