Overview
- On Monday Clay Travis posted a $10 million offer for a one‑off game pitting the reigning Las Vegas Aces against a boys’ high school state champion team with pay‑per‑view profits slated for Tunnel to Towers.
- As of Wednesday the Aces and the WNBA had not accepted the proposal or issued a formal response and the challenge remains publicly outstanding.
- Several players and public figures reacted immediately with criticism or ridicule, including Aces guard Chelsea Gray calling Travis a “Dumbass,” while other commentators weighed in to defend or mock the stunt.
- Travis said high school teams were contacting him and he also proposed buying a WNBA expansion franchise to field an all‑trans team in Nashville, comments that further fueled the dispute over league policy and inclusion.
- The offer revives a similar 2023 $1 million challenge and highlights recurring tensions over physiology, competition and governance in women’s sports that could increase internal league division, public attention and pressure on WNBA policy makers.
