A study revealing the percentage of lesbian players in the WNBA has surfaced following some wild claims from OutKick’s Clay Travis.
Travis made an appearance on FOX News this week and spoke about the treatment Caitlin Clark has been receiving since being drafted out of Iowa earlier this year.
According to Travis, Clark is being subjected to cruelty because of her sexuality.
Clark is known to be heterosexual and is dating former Iowa men’s basketball player Connor McCaffrey, while there are multiple lesbian players in the league. It’s why Clay Travis believes race is not the only reason behind the perceived hate the rookie has been subjected to.

“It’s not just race though, it’s also sexuality,” he said. “Caitlin Clark is a white heterosexual woman in a Black lesbian league and they resent and are jealous of all of the attention and the shoe deal that she got. And instead of recognizing the truth, which is great athletes who people care about coming into your league really do get everybody more money…”
Travis also asserted that 70 percent of the players in the WNBA are lesbians.
“70 percent lesbian,” he added after being challenged. “And I think her having a boyfriend, I think it’s a fiancé, who by the way said there needs to be an enforcer, creates two different identity politics universes that she doesn’t fit in in this league. They don’t like her cause she’s white and they don’t like her cause she’s straight. And as a result, the league is coming undone around her even though she’s bringing in new fans.”
Is Clay Travis Onto Something?
While there are many lesbian players in the WNBA, the figure offered by Clay Travis is nearly twice what a 2022 study determined.
The study notes that the lesbians in the league accounted for around 38 percent of the players.
Several top WNBA stars, including Brittney Griner, Sue Bird, and Sheryl Swoopes, have come out as gay over the years. And while the study is over two years old, there are many straight players in the league, including Clark’s main rival, Angel Reese.
VIDEO: Rapper Cam’ron Puts Anthony Edwards On Blast In Dirty Diss Track While Wearing Luka Doncic Jersey

The 2024 NBA playoffs saw the breakthrough of a superstar in Minnesota Timberwolves’ Anthony Edwards. The 22-year-old guard took the postseason by storm after monstrous performances against the Suns and the Nuggets. Despite his brilliance, the Minnesota side failed to clinch an NBA Finals spot, falling to the Mavs in the WCF.
After the playoffs, Ant-Man took shots at multiple of his critics through an Adidas ad promoting his new shoe line. Among those who faced the blunt of the force of Anthony Edwards’ diss was rapper Cam’ron, who has now taken weapons in arms to counter. In a latest diss track, Cam’ron rhymed, “F**k wrong with Ant man? Gave him his props, homie got love from me. New commercial, y’all ain’t got love for me?”
In the commercial, Anthony Edwards was keeping receipts for his critics. Carmelo Anthony’s quote was mentioned in it, and so was Cam’ron, who said that Edwards is an All-Star but not a superstar yet. This led to the Timberwolves man saying, “F**k buddy.”
Adidas recently launched Anthony Edwards’ signature shoe line, AE 1, which has taken over the market with its slick design. But for Edwards to take a shot at Cam’ron was not something the rapper expected after giving him his props. He knows exactly who to blame for this situation between him and Edwards as he opens up about the ongoing fiasco.
