Stephen A. Smith Ominously Warns Trump 'Coming' for Sports [View all]

Smith said the arrests represent a “nugget of evidence” showing the president’s desire to punish sports leagues that run afoul of him—and warned more leagues may be next.

“Don’t be surprised if the WNBA is next on his list,” he warned. “Because when you have all of these protests that have been goin’ on out there, and people have been protestin’ against him... this man is coming.”

The WNBA has been one of the most openly anti-Trump professional leagues, with players frequently taking part in Black Lives Matter demonstrations and publicly endorsing Democratic candidates.

While there hasn’t been significant backlash to Trump from the NBA during his second term, basketball players famously drew Trump’s ire for participating in Black Lives Matter protests in 2020.
