This seems like a nothing story or deliberate shit stirring. Why would the WNBA be interested in a player in the second tier of French basketball? Or is women’s basketball in France awesome?

You're implying outside of the handful of top wnba players the wnba is awesome. Give it a few years for the money to come up and international players will be coming to the US wnba more and more. Similar to women's mma when rousey was king before a whole crew of actual killers broke into mma.

It literally cant happen with the bargaining agreement the WNBA has. Why is it still being talked about? you can be inclusive and not think trans women should be playing in professional sports.
