The WNBA continues to face intense scrutiny for different controversies. Fans have been calling the league out for how it’s treating Caitlin Clark and Enes Freedom declaring to join via the draft. Sophie Cunningham’s comments about transgender athletes has also garnered a lot of attention.
In a statement issued on Wednesday, the WNBA shared some issues its anti-hate task force discussed. Critical language directed at players online was among the topics.

USA Today’s Meghan L. Hall posted the league’s statement on X.
“Today’s meeting covered a wide range of topics, including ongoing discussions on transgender athletes and the continued hate and vitriol directed at players online,” the statement read.
“We will continue to engage all league stakeholders in the coming weeks and months. We will approach these important conversations thoughtfully and in alignment with the values of our league. There are no immediate eligibility matters affecting the WNBA, and we strongly denounce the bad-faith efforts to use these topics to demean or marginalize others.”
More meetings can be expected in the coming weeks and months, and some rule changes will likely be made. Cathy Engelbert and her team are finding ways to address the issues that cloud the WNBA’s credibility. Player eligibility rules are one of the biggest concerns.
What’s next for the WNBA?
Apr 14, 2025; New York, New York, USA; WNBA commissioner Cathy Engelbert talks to the media before the 2025 WNBA Draft at The Shed at Hudson Yards. Mandatory Credit: Vincent Carchietta-Imagn Images The commissioner’s office faces a lot of pressure to make changes. Freedom declaring himself eligible for the WNBA draft, along with former Sacramento Kings forward Royce White, added more fuel to the fire.
They argued that they thoroughly reviewed the existing requirements and that officials should allow them to join. It remains to be seen how this saga will unfold, but Engelbert and Co. will need to make a decision soon. Allowing Freedom and White to enter the draft could set a precedent that could further harm the league.
