Stephanie White, let me ‘educate’ you on the science of why men don’t belong in women’s sports

Fox News · 2 hours ago

OutKick columnist Bobby Burack criticises Indiana Fever head coach Stephanie White after she said she wasn't "educated enough from a scientific standpoint" to say whether males should be allowed to compete in women's sports. The piece argues White's response was evasive, and frames the issue within the wider ongoing debate about transgender participation in women's athletics, which has become a recurring flashpoint in the WNBA and women's sport more broadly.

The comments came before a Fever game in which Caitlin Clark recorded her fourth career triple-double and Sophie Cunningham, a vocal opponent of trans inclusion in women's sports, shot well from three-point range as Indiana won its fifth straight game. Teammates Aliyah Boston and Makayla Timpson were also asked about Cunningham's stance on the issue before the media session was ended as players left. The article promises to lay out scientific arguments the author believes support excluding male athletes from women's competitions, though the excerpt provided ends before those points are detailed.

  • Fever coach Stephanie White declined to give a science-based view on trans athletes.
  • Comments came before Fever's fifth straight win, led by Clark and Cunningham.
  • Article criticises White's answer and argues males shouldn't compete in women's sports.
