    Is the WNBA Too Woke? Angel Reese, Sandy Brondello & the Caitlin Clark Effect

    Toronto Tempo head coach Sandy Brondello was suspended after calling Angel Reese a “protected species”—but was the punishment fair, or did internet outrage force the WNBA’s hand? Natalie and Greg debate intent versus impact, Angel’s understandable response, Brondello’s apology, and whether the Caitlin Clark era has made every WNBA controversy more racialized, politicized, and difficult for the league to handle consistently.

    Chennedy Carter Waived by Aces, Skylar Diggins Out After Benching & WNBA All-Star Snubs

    Chennedy Carter is out in Las Vegas, and we’re breaking down whether the Aces made a shocking move — or simply moved on before the fit became a bigger issue. This week on Club Hoops, we discuss Chennedy Carter being waived by the Aces, Skylar Diggins being listed out with a knee injury after her Chicago Sky benching drama, and the 2026 WNBA All-Star reserves. We also debate the biggest All-Star snubs, including Alyssa Thomas, Kahleah Copper, Brittney Sykes, and more. Was Chennedy’s release fair? Are the Sky mishandling Skylar? And did the WNBA coaches get the All-Star reserves right?   Subscribe to our YouTube channel for more content!

    Olivia Miles Is Better Than Caitlin Clark & Paige Bueckers? Lynx Rookie Enters MVP Talk

    Olivia Miles is forcing a real conversation: is she just the Rookie of the Year favorite, or is she already playing like one of the best guards in the WNBA? Greg and Natalie break down Miles’ breakout season with the Minnesota Lynx, why her rookie year stacks up against Caitlin Clark and Paige Bueckers, and how the Lynx keep winning even without Napheesa Collier. Plus, we get into the Valkyries game, what Golden State did to make Miles uncomfortable, and why even a rough shooting night showed how complete her game already is.
