Clay Travis ups offer to $10 million for WNBA champion Las Vegas Aces to play high school boys basketball team
OutKick founder Clay Travis has raised his provocative offer to $10 million, betting that a boys' high school basketball team could beat the WNBA champion Las Vegas Aces. The stunt is the latest salvo in an ongoing culture-war debate over sex differences in athletic ability, following comments from figures such as Caitlin Clark and Indiana Fever coach Stephanie White about the inclusion of biological males in women's sports.
Travis, an outspoken sports commentator, argues that even an elite boys' high school team would defeat the reigning WNBA champions, using the wager to underline his broader argument about physical disparities between male and female athletes. The offer comes amid wider scrutiny of the WNBA, which Fox News notes continues to struggle financially, and coincides with related controversies including remarks from Valkyries coach Natalie Nakase defending trans athletes' participation in women's sports.
