Dan also exposes the bizarre double standards facing the WNBA following Sophie Cunningham’s comments on protecting women's sports alongside former NBA players Enes Kanter Freedom and Royce White declaring for the WNBA draft.

    WNBA CIRCUS: Enes Kanter Declares, DiJonai Carrington SLAMS Sophie Cunningham, Stephanie White FOLDS + Inside the Ohtani Betting Scandal with Bookie Mathew Bowyer

    Dan breaks down the latest embarrassing weekend for the WNBA on this epidode of Don't @ Me, starting with former NBA player Enes Kanter Freedom OFFICIALLY declaring for the WNBA Draft, quickly followed by Royce White. Plus, Dan Dakich breaks down the brutal hit on the court where Chicago Sky star DiJonai Carrington clotheslined Indiana Fever star Sophie Cunningham, drew blood, got ejected, and then ran to Threads to claim "white privilege." All of this while Sports Illustrated claims Cunningham deserved it as "karma" for speaking out on biological males in women's sports. And Dan sits down with Mathew Bowyer, the Southern California bookmaker at the center of the $17 million sports betting scandal involving Shohei Ohtani’s former interpreter, Ippei Mizuhara. Bowyer opens up about what was really going through his mind when $500,000 wire transfers began landing directly from accounts linked to Ohtani—addressing whether he assumed the superstar was secretly backing the wagers or if he simply chose not to pry as long as the payments cleared. He also weighs in on MLB and federal investigators clearing Ohtani almost instantly, sharing his perspective on whether investigators pushed back on his side of the story or if the focus was strictly on protecting baseball's biggest global star.
