LILLEY: WNBA must decide what it means to be a woman in a women’s league
Sophie Cunningham’s comments have reignited a debate over whether leagues can avoid defining who qualifies to compete
The WNBA is facing controversy over the role of biological males in women's sport. The issue has sparked debate about what it means to be a woman in a women's league.
Becky Hammon, coach of the Las Vegas Aces, recently discussed the league's top players, naming A'ja Wilson, Napheesa Collier, and Breanna Stewart as the WNBA's three best players. According to Hammon, Breanna Stewart is "definitely worthy of being in the conversation" for MVP, citing her game as having a "separation factor".
The Toronto Sun has called for clarity on the issue, suggesting that women's sport should be protected for women, not men who identify as women.
