0:00.0	Welcome to another episode of The Chicks on the Right podcast. Our guest today is a familiar and friendly face. It's Michelle Tafoya from the Tafoya podcast. And Michelle, we brought you on the show because you've wrote recently an op-ed for the Washington Times about all the hula blue in women's basketball. And particularly, as everybody knows, there's all this, there's chaos and
0:23.5	drama between Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese. And so we wanted to get the details straight from
0:30.0	the horse's mouth. What is the deal with those two? Well, look, I covered the WNBA for the first three years of its existence.
0:40.1	Reggie Miller and I were the – I was the play-by-play voice.
0:44.0	He was the analyst.
0:45.7	And, you know, yes, is the league predominantly black?
0:50.2	Yes, it is.
0:51.1	I think the numbers around 80% of the players are African-Americans. So, but here comes

1:39.5	Lisa Leslie and Cheryl Swoops, who got loads of attention.
1:45.0	And Angel Reese is used to getting loads of attention for her fashion, for all these things.
1:50.2	I think she's having a tough time sharing the limelight.
1:53.2	So what she has said publicly is fine.
1:58.3	I'll be the bad guy.
1:59.3	I'll be the nemesis of Caitlin Clark. And that way, when everyone
2:02.8	looks back at this league and says, who built it, it won't just be Caitlin Clark. It'll be me,
2:09.3	sort of the bad guy who helped too. It'll be more than just one person. That resentment for
