Fever at Dream best bet: Why Atlanta can cover the spread even if Caitlin Clark plays

I know Caitlin Clark is the better player and bigger star in the WNBA , but her rivalry with Angel Reese is one of the biggest in women’s basketball, and it’s great for the sport. It dates back to college when Reese’s LSU Tigers beat Clark’s Iowa Hawkeyes in the 2023 NCAA Championship, and Clark got revenge in the Elite Eight a year later. Unfortunately, there’s a chance she doesn’t play when her Indiana Fever (22-12) visit Reese’s Atlanta Dream (21-12) at State Farm Arena Sunday at 5 p.m. Clark limped off the court in the first half of the Fever’s 98-87 home win over the Dallas Wings Friday. CAITLIN CLARK OVERCOMES INJURY SCARE, DROPS 29 POINTS ON DALLAS WINGS AS FEVER TAKE TOP SPOT IN EAST She was sensational Friday, shooting 11-for-18 from the field and dishing 10 assists to one turnover. Maybe adrenaline helped her finish the game, but Clark has been on the injury report with back issues the past few games, and I could see her getting a day off Sunday. Best Bet: Atlanta Dream -1.5...

Americans clash over transgender athletes as debate heats up: ‘Just getting outrageous'

As the debate over transgender athletes in women’s sports intensifies, Americans who spoke with Fox News Digital offered sharply divided views on whether transgender women should be allowed to compete against female athletes. "It's all right if you wanna be what you wanna be, but you shouldn't be competing against a woman and you’re a man," a Washington, D.C. local resident said. "Biologically, it's an advantage." Another person disagreed. SOFTBALL HALL OF FAMER SENDS BLUNT WARNING TO THOSE DEFENDING INCLUSION OF BIOLOGICAL MALES IN FEMALE SPORTS "I feel like a transgender woman should be able to play in women's sports ," another person told Fox News Digital. "They might have been a man before, but they're trans. They're changing into a woman, so why not play a woman's sport? Like they're not gonna let her play men's sports." The participation of transgender athletes in women’s sports has long been debated, par...

Veteran pediatrician hails Medicaid shift ending youth sex-change treatments: 'This is not denial of care'

The sweeping policy shift announced Tuesday to end Medicaid funding for youth sex-change treatments is being hailed by at least one veteran pediatrician, who argued that the procedures were never "compassionate" approaches for children facing gender dysphoria . In an interview with Fox News Digital, Dr. Quentin Van Meter, the immediate past president of the American College of Pediatricians (ACPeds), reflected on the new restrictions issued by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). "I'm really congratulating HHS and CMS for... taking the step to block the medical and surgical interventions or funding for those in those healthcare systems... primarily because it's not an appropriate kind of intervention," Van Meter said. Despite claims that children will be left to suffer under the policy change, Van Meter, a pediatric endocrinologist, asserted that government intervention is not meant to str...

Legal expert calls for Smithsonian leadership overhaul over ‘self-loathing’ portrayal of history: ‘It’s bile’

A legal expert is calling for a leadership overhaul at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History (NMAH), arguing the museum has embraced a negative, "self-loathing" portrayal of the nation’s past. "I think this is part of a broader effort by radicals on the left to redefine the history of the United States and reframe it in an oppressor-versus-oppressed narrative," Cully Stimson, a senior legal fellow at the Heritage Foundation and former assistant U.S. attorney for Washington, D.C., told Fox News Digital. "Instead of looking at American history chronologically with all the triumphs and tragedies, including slavery, and then the things that our country did to eradicate the vestiges of slavery, and then passing the 13th, 14th and 15th Amendments and the Civil Rights Acts and getting rid of various other laws that were discriminatory in practice or in spirit. They take a very pro-reparations, ‘we’re a bad country,’ oppressor-versus-oppressed narrative...
