WNBA silent on Clay Travis offer to pay Las Vegas Aces $10 million to beat high school boys team

Fox News · 2 hours ago

Right-wing commentator Clay Travis has raised his public offer to $10 million (from an initial $1 million) for the WNBA champion Las Vegas Aces to play a high-school boys' basketball team, as part of an ongoing dispute over the exclusion of transgender women from women's sports. The WNBA has not publicly responded to the challenge, and the row has become entangled with wider controversy following Indiana Fever player Sophie Cunningham's comments opposing transgender participation in women's sports, which the article claims reflect majority US public opinion.

The article, published by Outkick, frames the offer as a provocative stunt highlighting the gulf in athletic ability between elite male and female basketball players, tying it to broader debates within the WNBA over transgender inclusion involving figures such as Cunningham, Lynx coach Cheryl Reeve and Caitlin Clark. No response from the WNBA, the Aces or any high school is reported, and the piece does not indicate whether any game has been scheduled.
