Singer-songwriter and rapper Tish Hyman called for a boycott of the WNBA in a video posted to X, accusing the league of failing to safeguard women’s sports and ending her message with, “F**k the WNBA.” The quotes below are taken from the source article’s transcription of Hyman’s video and posts.
Her call to boycott
In a post on X, Hyman wrote: “Women are 51% of the population. The WNBA’s stance on women’s sports is unacceptable. They don’t know how to protect female athletes. Boycott the WNBA until they respect biological women and fairness in sports.”
In the accompanying video, she urged, “Women make up 51 percent of the population, we need to start acting like it. Boycott the WNBA!” She added, “They don’t know what a woman is? They don’t know how to protect women and girls sports in the WNBA, the W that stands for WOMAN? … Not trans, that starts with a T? Woman!”
Locker room and player claims
Hyman criticized WNBA players who say they would accept a trans teammate, alleging, “You’re f***ing lying. You haven’t experienced having a male in the locker room with you. I have. It is f***ing demeaning. It crosses our boundaries, it disregards our privacy.” She concluded the video: “F*** the WNBA … and any other sports league that allows men to play with women. Boycott them.”
Earlier post cited
The source article also cites an August 13 post on X in which Hyman wrote: “We’re tired of the games. If trans men are biologically women, the issue is they look like men. We’re not having men of any form in women’s sports or spaces. If you’re a man, go to the NBA.”
