Summary
WNBA commissioner Cathy Engelbert pulled out of a high-profile interview with Dan Patrick just hours before it was set to air, sparking outrage and accusations of cowardice. Patrick called it unprofessional and a missed opportunity for the league to show it can handle tough questions — especially as it grows. Fans are criticizing her for avoiding scrutiny, while a separate controversy involving a letter from GOP lawmakers about Caitlin Clark adds to the pressure. Patrick sees her absence as a leadership failure — a chance to build credibility and transparency was squandered, and the league’s image is paying the price.
