Elle Duncan: ‘Right now, the WNBA is the most toxic space to cover’
In an interview on WHYY’s Sports In America podcast released last week, Duncan called women’s hoops “the most toxic space to cover,” echoing language from other figures in the sport by saying WNBA discourse has been “hijacked.”
“I remember how much passion, energy, and excitement there was for the attention that these women were finally getting, and the ratings, and this new crop of superstars that were going to come into the league and help elevate this game even more,” Duncan said. “And it would finally be all these women reaping everything that they had sewn all these years. And very quickly over the course of the last three years, it’s just turned into … a sticking point for sides to continue to politicize things that shouldn’t be, to be as divisive as possible.”
