WNBA commissioner Cathy Engelbert caught hitting laughably bad golf shot after allegedly ditching interview

Rep Marlin Stutzman details when the WNBA's mistreatment of Caitlin Clark officially becomes a referendum on league commissioner Cathy Engelbert

The WNBA can't get out of its own way, and neither can commissioner Cathy Engelbert. To be fair, though, she's working on her golf game, which I can somewhat respect.

For those who missed it, Engelbert allegedly backed out of an interview with "The Dan Patrick Show" Friday afternoon. Both Engelbert and Patrick are at the American Century Championship celebrity golf tournament in Nevada, and — according to Patrick — the WNBA's public relations team instructed Engelbert to cancel.

"We waited almost two hours for her. This was scheduled," Patrick said during a four-minute segment in which he absolutely ripped Engelbert (politely, of course). "She was going to do a meeting in her hotel room, a conference call, and then she was going to join us... We're standing by, we're waiting to interview her.

"Then we got word... that the commissioner said that the WNBA staff, the PR staff, said that she is not allowed to do this. They would prefer that she did not do this."

Just unfathomable levels of stupid coming out of the WNBA right now. They've destroyed Caitlin Clark, and, somehow, continue to make things worse.

As for Engelbert backing out ... the commish was seen hitting practice shots out of the bunker a mere 50 yards away after ditching the interview, and "The Dan Patrick Show" made sure to let the people at home see exactly how the beach day was going:

Amazing.
