Locked On Women's Basketball

Host Jackie Powell is joined by ESPN’s Katie Barnes where the two discuss why Pride month means so much to the WNBA and its fans. The pair chats about the history of queerness in the W and why how much coverage the relationship of NaLyssa Smith and Dijonai Carrington is getting probably wouldn’t have happened five years ago. Later, while discussing how far we’ve come, Jackie and Katie look ahead to what’s next for more and better queer representation in the WNBA and why allies like Cameron Brink really matter.Thumbnail Photo Credit: Left: Chris Poss | The Next , Right: Wendell Cruz | USA Today SportsLinks:Order Katie’s Book Fair Play: How Sports Shape the Gender Debates here:https://us.macmillan.com/books/9781250276636/fairplayKatie Barnes wrote about Jonquel Jones’ coverage doesn’t always match her star powerhttps://www.espn.com/wnba/story/_/id/34109460/jonquel-jones-untold-story-wnba-reigning-mvpKatie Barnes wrote about Layshia Clarendon’s role as one of the most impactful players in the WNBA:https://www.es
