The WNBA’s handling of the growing debate around transgender athletes continues to attract criticism. Recently, NBA player Kyle Kuzma called out WNBA commissioner Cathy Engelbert over how the league has handled the issue.

The fact Portland has shown up for its new WNBA team is, in many ways, unsurprising given the city's long history of embracing women's sports.
