As this Politico article reports, Trump allies and associates, influencers, and some GOP lawmakers — among them Donald Trump Jr., Sen. Jim Banks (R-Ind.), activist athlete Riley Gaines, and an army of meme artists and podcasters — are already in the fight. In recent months they have zeroed in on the WNBA, banging the same culture war drums that preceded campaigns against other perceived bastions of so-called woke thinking. The right’s rising interest in the WNBA suggests the league could soon find itself the object of Trump’s ire, another American institution to be isolated, attacked and reshaped as part of the president’s MAGA agenda. There's hope the WNBA will acquit itself better than the NFL has. Not having Roger Goodell as its commissioner, and the gutless billionaire NFL franchise owners, gives the WNBA a good start in the fight.
