WNBA Commissioner Cathy Engelbert canceled a scheduled appearance on The Dan Patrick Show at the last minute during the American Century Championship golf tournament in Lake Tahoe, Nevada, nypost.com reported. Engelbert stated that the league’s public relations team urged her to withdraw amid controversy over the treatment of Caitlin Clark. Dave Portnoy posted on X criticizing the cancellation.
“This is one of my biggest pet peeves in the world. When people like @CathyEngelbert say they can’t do something because their agent or PR said so. THEY WORK FOR YOU. Absolute coward move. Anyway this is just yet another example of what show the @wnbais.
Worst run league in the world,” Portnoy wrote. Dan Patrick said on his show that he had promoted the interview all week and expected it to provide a fair opportunity for the WNBA to address questions. Patrick stated that his team received no notification until the scheduled start time and waited nearly two hours while contacting the league multiple times before receiving a feeble response.
Patrick added that Engelbert and the WNBA will not be taken seriously until they are prepared to answer tough questions.
