OutKick founder Clay Travis set the WNBA and sports world on fire recently when he made a compelling financial and social offer to the league and its best team, the Las Vegas Aces.

Play a state championship-winning high school boys basketball team of his choice, with $10 million up for grabs should they win.

This offer presented a compelling opportunity for the WNBA and the Aces to meaningfully increase their revenue, should they win the game, and more importantly, live up to their stated ideology and political beliefs.

When Sophie Cunningham said in an interview that she wanted to protect girls, prevent males from competing in women's sports and keep locker rooms exclusively female, the outrage from many prominent personalities around the league was fierce and immediate.
