The WNBA is facing some challenges, and it seems that Commissioner Cathy Engelbert is, um, struggling a bit too. But I guess, to be fair, she does enjoy a round of golf—and that’s something I can appreciate.
So, here’s the scoop: Engelbert reportedly turned down an interview with Dan Patrick on his show last Friday. Both were at the American Century Championship, a celebrity golf tournament in Nevada. Patrick mentioned that Engelbert’s team advised her to skip it.
“We waited almost two hours for her. This was supposed to happen,” Patrick explained in a segment that, while polite, still made a point to criticize Engelbert. “She was meant to have a meeting in her hotel room, then join us…We were just waiting.”
Patrick added that they received word that the commissioner had been told by her staff that it was preferable for her not to participate.
Honestly, there seems to be a real, uh, mishap happening within the WNBA. The situation with Caitlin Clark has taken a turn for the worse, and it just feels like it’s being mishandled.
Meanwhile, Engelbert was spotted skipping interviews to practice her bunker shots nearby. I mean, it’s like a classic sitcom setup—think “The Office” or “Curb Your Enthusiasm.” Seriously, it’s all very comical in a frustrating way.
There’s Nothing Worse Than a Bunker Shot
Just saying, it’s a tough watch. I feel for her! Seeing a poor golf shot on display is, well, a nightmare for me. Bunker shots? I totally dread them. It’s just…the worst.
But it does give me a bit of sympathy for Engelbert. That shot? Yikes. I can relate on some level, but it’s hard to look at. If I were in her position, I’d certainly want my trusty gap wedge on hand. That’s my go-to! I know it’s nothing to be ashamed of, maybe my struggles are similar.
Now, regarding her situation… Well, Engelbert is in charge, right? She should maybe consider challenging her PR team instead of bowing out. It’s crucial to promote the league effectively—let’s not forget that.
So, honestly, don’t just shrink away just because some PR folks think it’s a bad idea. It feels a bit ridiculous.
You’re the commissioner. Own it and act accordingly.
