Tennis icon Martina Navratilova has sparked controversy by suggesting the WNBA may be hiding a transgender player. This claim appears to be part of a larger rumor that has been circulating. A comedian's social media post questioned whether the WNBA has any biological males playing, and Navratilova responded by implying it was intentional.

Navratilova's comments have been criticized as transphobic. Her views on trans women in sports have been opposed since 2019. The rumor about the WNBA seems to have originated from elsewhere, with a minority owner of the Yankees also involved.

Further details about the situation are available, including the original social media posts that sparked the controversy. Navratilova's descent into anti-trans views has been rapid, according to reports.
