The WNBA regular season begins Friday night...and the WNBA has implemented a new policy. The WNBA announced Thursday the implementation of their No Space for Hate policy. The WNBA will be policing fan behavior in the arena...as well as on social media. Fans who violate this policy could be banned from WNBA games. We discuss the WNBA new policy...along with the LA Sparks revoking season tickets from their loyal fanbase. We explain why we believe the WNBA policy is directed at Caitlin Clark fans. We explain why the WNBA has experienced too much success to soon...and how the WNBA doesn't know how to handle it.

This week on Queer News with Anna DeShawn — we're talking legal wins and loses, representation on-screen, and unmatched excellence on the basketball court. A U.S. federal appeals court deals a blow to Trump's anti-trans military ban, affirming the right of our trans siblings to serve with pride.

We mourn the cancellation of Clean Slate, Laverne Cox's bold sitcom, and celebrate WNBA icon Candace Parker as the LA Sparks announce her jersey retirement this Pride Month.

Basketball's landscape has been dramatically reshaped through a series of earth-shattering trades and roster moves that have left fans stunned and excited for what comes next.The WNBA has entered a new era with the creation of superteams across the league. We dive into the New York Liberty's championship victory and analyze how the league's competitive balance has shifted through major offseason trades. Kelsey Plum heading to the LA Sparks, Alyssa Thomas joining the Phoenix Mercury, and the shocking dismantling of the Connecticut Sun's starting five highlight a transformative period in women's basketball.Perhaps most exciting is the Indiana Fever's aggressive team-building around sophomore Caitlin Clark, adding veterans like DeWanna Bonner to create a legitimate championship contender. We examine these moves alongside the WNBA draft landscape, where Paige Bueckers, Olivia Miles, and other collegiate stars could further transform the league.The basketball revolution extends beyond the WNBA season with the Unrivaled League, co-founded by Breanna Stewart and Napheesa Collier, bringing electrifying 3v3 competition featuring WNBA stars during the offseason. This innovative format showcases players like Skylar Diggins-Smith hitting game winners and Angel Reese dominating the boards.But nothing compares to the seismic NBA trade sending 25-year-old generational talent Luka Dončić from the Dallas Mavericks to the Los Angeles Lakers for Anthony Davis. We unpack this stunning development from both perspectives – the heartbreak of Mavericks fans watching their franchise cornerstone depart, and the potential championship implications for LeBron's Lakers.Whether you're a WNBA enthusiast, NBA devotee, or simply someone who appreciates dramatic sports storylines, this episode delivers comprehensive analysis of a transformative moment in basketball history. Share your thoughts on these blockbuster moves – which team improved most, and who will ultimately win these franchise-altering trades?
