Outkick founder Clay Travis has said he wants French trans basketball player Julie Tétart to be the face of a proposed new WNBA expansion franchise he would call the Nashville Balls, which he is billing as an "inclusive" team. Travis made the announcement during an appearance on the "Don't @ Me" show with Dan Dakich, framing the move as a pointed response to what he and Dakich characterise as hypocrisy in the WNBA's stance on inclusivity, amid an ongoing debate within the league over transgender athletes.

Tétart, who plays in France, was reportedly the scoring and rebounding leader in France's Ligue 2 during the 2025-26 season and has spoken of a childhood dream to play in the WNBA. Travis's proposal remains a stated ambition rather than a confirmed franchise, and the article ties it into broader recent controversy surrounding transgender participation in women's basketball, including remarks from other commentators and public figures on the issue.
