As the WNBA once again faces an explosion of controversy around Caitlin Clark, Commissioner Cathy Engelbert reportedly canceled an interview. Dan Patrick, host of an eponymously named sports analysis show, revealed that Engelbert stood him up for a planned discussion. This comes as the league is facing renewed criticism over its treatment of Clark after she was punched in the throat by Phoenix Mercury star Alyssa Thomas. Watch: Dan Patrick on WNBA commissioner Cathy Engelbert cancelling her appearance on the show: “If you want to be treated as a serious league, this is what happens! These are tough questions, but this is a fair outlet for you – a fair platform. I will treat you with respect.” pic.twitter.com/15VOBZIxAd — Dan Patrick Show (@dpshow) July 10, 2026 “Yesterday we were hoping to do an interview with Cathy Engelbert; she’s the WNBA commissioner,” Patrick said, revealing that she had initially agreed to the sitdown. “So yesterday after the show, we waited almost two hours for her. This was scheduled. She was going to do a meeting in her hotel room, a conference call, and then she was going to join us,” the host continued. “We’re standing by, we’re waiting to interview her. They didn’t balk at anything, they didn’t say ‘You can’t ask anything’ and we thought, okay, we’re going to finally be able to ask questions about Caitlyn Clark, the WNBA expansion, a lot of different things. And we waited and we waited and we waited.” “Then we got word… that the commissioner said that the WNBA staff, the PR staff, said that she is not allowed to do this. They would prefer that she did not do this,” Patrick said. “You’re the commissioner, and you’re listening to the PR department, which is fine. But did you check with PR before

Democrats are in the hot seat as a new report reveals organizations conveniently pulled ad money from Graham Platner’s disastrous Senate bid. A Fox News report revealed a coincidental shift in planned ad money just days before yet another sexual abuse allegation rocked Platner’s campaign. It came at a time when, at least publicly, the party was still backing the controversial candidate despite a number of previous scandals. “WinSenate removed more than $6.2 million in Maine Senate ad reservations, including $5.9 million in broadcast reservations from July 7 through Aug. 31 and $330,000 in cable reservations that had been set to begin June 30, AdImpact, a leading ad-tracking and analytics firm that monitors political advertising, reported July 2. AdImpact also said a separate $240,000 in digital spending shifted from Majority Forward,” the outlet noted. Majority Forward denied that recent “campaign turmoil” had any part to play in the moving of ad funds, according to a statement to Fox News Digital. “Majority Forward moved its (c)4 spending to another entity, a fairly common practice with issue advocacy campaigns. This change was not connected to recent campaign events,” a spokeswoman explained. Both organizations are “closely tied to the Democratic Senate campaign apparatus,” Fox reported, adding that both are “affiliated with Senate Majority PAC, a wealthy political committee run by allies of Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer.” The timing of the money pull has stirred up a lot of buzz on X: Whether you liked Platner or not—to not see what is happening requires you to do a lot of mental gymnastics and wear blindfold. https://t.co/rV6rVl5pGp — Stand With Graham (@standwithgraham) July 11, 2026 I keep saying they knew about this shit and im sure there were more.
