The WNBA! They’ve finally got our attention

The WNBA has never had more attention — but is the basketball becoming secondary to the controversy? Billy Bush dives into the growing drama surrounding the league, from Sophie Cunningham’s comments about biological males in women’s sports to the debate over transgender athletes, Caitlin Clark’s impact on the WNBA, on-court fights, accusations of white privilege, and former NBA players Enes Kanter Freedom and Royce White saying they want into the 2027 WNBA Draft. Is all of this chaos hurting women’s basketball — or is it exactly what the WNBA needed to become must-watch entertainment? Billy also looks at the bigger cultural question: are social-media algorithms feeding Americans an exaggerated picture of conflict, outrage and political division? Then, the latest developments surrounding Amy Griffin and her controversial memoir, The Tell. Billy examines questions about possible NDAs involving people portrayed in the book, the ongoing Jane Doe lawsuit, the mysterious Palm Springs postcard, ghostwriter Sam Lansky, and new comments from Dial Press editor-in-chief Whitney Frick about publishers, fact-checking and an author’s responsibility for the claims made in a memoir. Plus: Could Amy Griffin ultimately try to settle the case before it reaches discovery — and is there still an off-ramp from a controversy that continues to grow?
