‘Fox News darling…’ Fans believe former US president Barack Obama should become WNBA commissioner

The WNBA is currently facing controversy, leading some fans to suggest that Barack Obama should become its new commissioner. The league has been struggling under the leadership of Cathy Engelbert, who has faced criticism for her handling of various issues, including the ongoing collective bargaining agreement negotiations. Fans argue that Obama, a well-known basketball enthusiast, would be an ideal candidate to lead the WNBA during this period of growth.

They point to his extensive experience, respect for the game, and political acumen as qualities that could help the league navigate its challenges. However, not everyone is convinced that Obama is the right person for the job. Some critics believe that his recent focus on book tours and podcasts would make it difficult for him to take on the demanding role of commissioner.

Others question whether his centrist approach would be suitable for the league, which appears to be divided along partisan lines. Despite these concerns, the idea of Obama as WNBA commissioner continues to gain traction among fans, who see him as the perfect candidate to lead the league forward.
