WNBA vs. NBA: Why the Media Treats Female Players Like Girls, Not Pros

We All Famous Show by Simi (Simbo) Evans

Episode notes

We discuss the recent incident where the Dallas organization shut down questions about AZ Fudd and Paige Bueckers' relationship, and how Bueckers refused to answer media inquiries about it. We talk about the double standard in how relationships are covered in the WNBA versus the NBA, using examples like Klay Thompson and Meagan Thee Stallion. We argue that if players are proud of their relationships, they should answer questions about them the same way heterosexual players do, and that the WNBA shouldn't prevent reporters from asking these questions if they're pushing a culture of acceptance.
