New York Liberty star Breanna Stewart steps in, defending the WNBA’s legacy of inclusivity and urging arenas to stay safe spaces for all. Though she’s faced criticism before — including over her Harry Potter sneakers tied to J.K. Rowling’s controversies — Stewart remains steadfast in her support for LGBTQ+ causes, even donating royalties from those shoes to The Trevor Project. This episode dives into the tension between free speech and team solidarity, spotlighting how the WNBA navigates social issues with power and purpose.
