$10 million for WNBA champs to play a boy's high school team

Serial Thread Killer
Clay Travis, a talker on some FOX sports program or another, has made a public statement, saying he will pay $10 million to winner of a basketball game between the Las Vegas Aces WNBA champion team and a boy's high school basketball team of his choosing. So far, and it's been several days, the WNBA has not taken him up on his offer.

Instead, the usual chattering class on the Left is claiming this is sexist and just grandstanding.

Seems to me to be a legitimate offer made publicly.

My bet is a regional or national championship high school boy's basketball team will wipe the floor against the Aces.

It will never happen. The boys would destroy them.
 
Has a boy's youth sports team ever defeated a professional women's sports team (that wasn't packed with trannies)?


Yes. Multiple documented cases exist, primarily in soccer (the most common setting for these training/scrimmage matches). These involve biological male youth teams (typically U-14 to U-16 academy or club sides) defeating senior professional or national women’s teams. No evidence indicates the women’s sides were “packed with” transgender athletes; the results reflect ordinary biological sex differences in strength, speed, power, and physicality that emerge strongly around puberty.


Key examples:


  • US Women’s National Team (USWNT) vs. FC Dallas U-15 boys academy (2017): The then-world-class USWNT lost 5-2 in a closed-door scrimmage while preparing for friendlies. Carli Lloyd later confirmed the result and noted the boys were “bigger, stronger and faster.” The USWNT has also lost to other elite youth academy sides (e.g., a Bayern Munich youth team).
  • Switzerland Women’s National Team vs. FC Luzern U-15 boys (June 2025): Ahead of Euro 2025, Switzerland (then ranked around 23rd) lost 7-1 in a behind-closed-doors friendly. The result leaked via social media after the federation tried to keep it quiet. They also had mixed results against other local U-15 sides in the same prep period.
  • Athletic Bilbao women’s team (professional, multiple Spanish titles) vs. their own Cadet A academy boys (including 14- to 16-year-olds): Lost 6-0 in a friendly.
  • Australia Matildas (national team) vs. Newcastle Jets U-15 boys (2016): Lost 7-0. Brazil’s women’s national team also lost 3-1 to a Queensland state U-15 boys side in a 2023 World Cup warm-up.
  • Other reported cases include Arsenal Women losing 5-0 to their own U-15 boys, various national teams (Sweden, Germany historically) losing to male youth sides, and a University of Washington women’s college team losing to a U-14 boys side.

These are almost always informal training or closed-door friendlies rather than official competitive matches. Women’s teams deliberately schedule elite male youth sides (roughly the physical level of mid-to-late puberty boys with high skill) because senior men’s teams are too dominant and same-sex women’s opponents do not provide the same speed/physical intensity. Large margins are common and consistent with known average sex differences in athletic performance post-puberty.


Comparable full games against WNBA or other professional women’s basketball teams are far rarer (none widely documented as official results), though challenges and expert consensus point the same direction for strong high-school boys teams. The pattern holds across sports where strength, speed, and power matter.

Would he use an existing team or build a team?

Makes a lot of difference.

Existing. If he picked the best team among state champion teams, as is, he'd be getting male players 16 to 18 years old who are going on to college to play basketball for major university teams and at least some of the players would be potentially going on to be NBA draft picks. They'd destroy the women.

How do you suppose ball size would be managed?

You could suck on the women's team's balls if they include "transwomen", I suppose. You'd probably like that. :thup:

Didn’t know Fox talking heads were that much in need of attention

Funny part is that the team the clown will most likely select will come from some inner city school in a city Fox viewers call shitholes

Most of the female players playing in the WNBA at some point grew up competing with boys, some I’m sure with older brothers. And a average boys high school team wouldn’t stand a chance, they couldn’t even measure up with a top women’s college team

Stupid publicity stunt

how is not just stupid grandstanding?

We all know a top boys team will win just as we know a team of top 15 year old girls would beat a top team of 5 year old boys.

It is stupid and pointless.

Perhaps. If they guy is trying to make some sort of statement, then have a WNBA allstar team play the kids.

There is ample evidence that the women would be overwhelmed in a game with a top boy's basketball team. As I stated, many of those male players are going on to college to play for major universities and will likely end up in the Final Four of college basketball. Some will end up in the NBA.

For the money involved, the WNBA shouldn't turn it down. I know the high school team wouldn't.
