Dawn Montgomery’s Fiery Rant Sparks Controversy Over WNBA Priorities
In a bold and unapologetic tweet, Dawn Montgomery didn’t hold back her frustration with the WNBA and its leadership. Taking to X (formerly Twitter), Montgomery voiced her displeasure over what she sees as an unfair distribution of resources, calling out the league for investing heavily in a player she believes hasn’t earned the hype—aside from, in her words, “being white.”
“This makes absolutely no sense,” she wrote. “I swear they’re putting all this money into that girl who ain’t done shit but be white. I’m sick of this and Cathy. I don’t care if I don’t ever get invited to WNBA-related events or games anymore. Enough is damn enough.”
Her fiery comments didn’t just call out the player in question but also took direct aim at WNBA Commissioner Cathy Engelbert, seemingly accusing the league of favoritism. Montgomery’s remarks immediately ignited a storm of reactions across social media. Supporters praised her for speaking out against perceived injustices in the league, while critics accused her of being divisive and unprofessional.
While Montgomery has never been one to shy away from controversy, this latest outburst raises bigger questions about how marketing, endorsements, and investment are handled within women’s basketball. Is there an underlying bias in how players are promoted? Are certain athletes given advantages based on factors outside of their performance on the court?
Regardless of where one stands on the issue, one thing is clear: Montgomery’s tweet wasn’t just a passing complaint—it was a direct challenge to the WNBA’s leadership and its decision-making. Whether the league responds or chooses to ignore the backlash remains to be seen, but the conversation Montgomery sparked isn’t dying down anytime soon.
