## Resource

The WNBA’s image is crumbling as Commissioner Cathy Engelbert cancels a high-profile interview with Dan Patrick—just as he’s blasting her leadership—after her PR team pulled her from the appearance. Caught golfing nearby and even hitting a viral bunker shot, Engelbert’s avoidance fuels outrage, especially amid ongoing scrutiny over how the league handles Caitlin Clark. The optics are brutal: the commissioner ducking tough questions while the league’s future hangs in the balance. Her silence isn’t just awkward—it’s becoming a leadership crisis.
