WNBA Denounces 'Bad-Faith Efforts' Amid Transgender Athlete Debate and Coaching Controversies

The WNBA issued a statement on August 12 denouncing 'bad-faith efforts' to 'demean or marginalize others' in the ongoing debate over transgender athlete participation in women's sports. The statement followed a meeting of the league's anti-hate task force, which included team presidents and general managers. No immediate decision on transgender athlete eligibility is expected, according to a source familiar with the discussions.
