Clay Travis: The WNBA’s Transgender Player Problem, Good Good Golf Backlash & Colin Kaepernick 10 Years Later

View descriptionShare
 

Clay Travis breaks down one of the biggest questions facing the WNBA: How does the league define who is eligible to compete?

Clay examines the WNBA career of Layshia Clarendon, the league’s past support for Clarendon’s gender identity, and why he believes that history could create a legal dilemma if Enes Kanter Freedom, Royce White or other biological men seek eligibility for the WNBA. Drawing on his legal background, Clay lays out four potential ways the league could respond and explains why he believes the simplest solution is defining eligibility based on sex at birth.

Then, Clay reacts to the controversy surrounding Good Good Golf after a satirical advertisement sparked outrage online. Why has a comedy spot generated such intense backlash, and what does the reaction say about modern cancel culture?

Clay also looks back at Colin Kaepernick’s national anthem protest as its 10-year anniversary approaches. He pushes back on The Athletic’s praise of Kaepernick and points to falling homicide rates across major American cities as evidence for his argument about policing, crime and public safety.

Plus, the Atlanta Braves deliver a dramatic walk-off win over the Los Angeles Dodgers, and Clay remembers Dolly Parton by revisiting her refusal to be dragged into partisan politics. He asks whether today’s athletes and entertainers could learn something from Dolly’s approach — and whether America still has any cultural figures capable of being loved across the political divide.

It’s sports, culture, politics and more on the latest edition of The Clay Travis Show.
