Apr 3, 2026; Phoenix, AZ, USA; UConn Huskies head coach Geno Auriemma looks on during the first half of a semifinal of the Final Four of the women's 2026 NCAA Tournament at Mortgage Matchup Center. Mandatory Credit: Mark J. Rebilas-Imagn ImagesIf youve been following the WNBA in the news recently, its likely that most of the stories youve seen have been centered around the issue of transgender athletes in womens sports.It all started when Sophie Cunningham of the Indiana Fever spoke out against the idea. Throw in ensuing protests, endless culture warring, a controversial flagrant foul and its ongoing fallout, and you have all the makings of a hot-button issue that isnt going anywhere.Geno Auriemma is confused by all of this. In an interview with TMZs Mike Babcock this week, the legendary UConn womens basketball coach argued that the matter is essentially a non-issue.An issue that doesnt existWell, not to belittle it at all because I dont mean to because listen, you know, people have a right to their opinion. I get it, Auriemma said. But why are we making a big issue over an issue that doesnt exist?I dont remember reading where theres transsexual players in the WNBA, he added. I dont remember reading where they were being presented with cases where this is going to happen next week. I dont see an issue. Why are we making it an issue?Continuing, Auriemma offered his take on why this topic has become so prevalent.Were making it an issue because theres enough people out there that need this to be an issue for their own personal gain, Auriemma said.Auriemma suggests shifting the convoIts tough to argue with Auriemmas logic. Cunninghams comments in an ESPN story kickstarted all of this, and theres no problem with actual good faith dialogue about this issue,but the discourse has been overtaken by grifters and opportunists.I think we should talk about the players. We should talk about the teams. We should talk about the incredible young group of players that have come into the league. We should talk about how incredible some of these teams are, Auriemma said.A nice concept, but one that seems unlikely to become reality any time soon.The post I dont see an issue: Geno Auriemma shuts down WNBA transgender controversy appeared first on The Comeback: Todays Top Sports Stories & Reactions.
