A common theme is developing in the WNBA, with more and more coaches becoming fed up of the outside noise.
The Dallas Wings pulled off a close victory over the Indiana Fever, led by an explosive season-high 32 points from Arike Ogunbowale and a career-best 26 points from Jessica Shepard. Dallas shot an impressive 59% from the field despite a 20-point effort from Kelsey Mitchell.
You'd think the postgame talk would be all about the basketball, but instead it was all still focused on the transgender situation in the WNBA.
While it needs to be addressed, it's frustrating to watch genuine achievements get completely eclipsed by non-basketball culture wars when the focus should strictly be on the talent.
And that's a common reaction amongst those in the thick of it in the WNBA.
