WNBA Commissioner Cathy Engelbert continues to face intense scrutiny for her leadership missteps, especially surrounding Indiana Fever superstar Caitlin Clark. But despite mounting criticism, some in the media are rushing to shield her. Dan Dakich calls out a controversial column by Candace Buckner of The Athletic, who claims Cathy doesn't need to be the players' "bestie" to deserve credit for the league's booming success. Dan dismantles this media spin and breaks down why Caitlin Clark—not Cathy Engelbert—is the real driving force behind the WNBA on this episode of Don't @ Me.
