WNBA Commissioner Cathy Engelbert stated the league is being intentionally used to create conflict by individuals unfamiliar with the sport. Engelbert believes outside groups are exploiting the WNBA for political purposes, rather than engaging with the league’s merits.
Engelbert made the comments regarding what she perceives as deliberate attempts to manufacture controversy surrounding the WNBA. She asserts that those instigating conflict have little to no prior interest in the league itself.
According to Engelbert, the WNBA is being used as a "political football for people who have never watched the WNBA." She did not specify which groups or individuals she believes are responsible, nor did she detail the specific conflicts being manufactured. The commissioner’s statement suggests a frustration with external forces attempting to inject political narratives into the league’s operations and public image.
