Charly Arnolt and Chris Manno are standing behind sports commentator Clay Travis and his controversial $1 million bet on a high-level high school boys basketball team defeating the WNBA-champion Las Vegas Aces. The bet aims to highlight the biological disparities between men and women, sparking a heated debate across the sports community.
Travis’ assertion that a skilled boys team could dominate the esteemed women’s team has reignited a whirlwind of reactions online, with Aces guard Chelsea Gray even calling him a “dumbass” in response to his claim and Travis doubling down with the $1 million bet.
Addressing the intentions behind Travis’ wager, Arnolt emphasized the physical makeup, size, and skills of high school boys, pointing out that the level of competition against the professional women of the WNBA would be vastly different. Manno also suggested that the WNBA’s silence on the matter echoed their acknowledgment of these biological differences.
Guest swimmer Riley Gaines echoed these sentiments, stating that it’s not sexist to say that men and women are different. The ongoing debate continues to fascinate and divide the sports community.
