The decision to let Swoopes go has sparked a heated debate across social media and sports platforms, with fans and analysts divided on whether her comments warranted such a severe reaction.

Smith, never one to shy away from controversy, reportedly “lost it” on his show, passionately defending Swoopes and criticizing the WNBA’s decision.

As the debate rages on, fans and pundits alike are closely watching to see how both the WNBA and Swoopes respond to the backlash.
