Leave it to the WNBA to create a potential gambling scandal of its own making involving two of its most high-profile stars.

The league’s official X account posted — and since deleted — a video of Wings star Paige Bueckers and Dream standout Angel Reese making a friendly wager of apparently $400 during All-Star weekend practice for Wednesday night’s game, the teams’ first since the break where Atlanta nipped Dallas 82-81.

The caption of the video reads: “Paige Bueckers on the bet she made with Angel Reese at All-Star Weekend on tonight’s matchup.”

The video, which was saved and reposted by social media sleuths, shows Reese holding a couple of hundred-dollar bills as they appear to agree to the wager. It’s spliced in with someone behind the camera reminding an awkwardly smiling Bueckers of the bet on game day.

“At All-Star Weekend, you and Angel made a bet on this game, is that right?” the camera person asks her.

“We did?” Bueckers retorts before the video of the bet begins.

The video could become quite the problem for the WNBA and embattled commissioner Cathy Engelbert during a time of high scrutiny of sports betting by pro and college athletes, though this was more of a friendly wager that might quietly go on among highly paid athletes. The WNBA’s CBA has a gambling clause.

It’s stated in Section 5(c) that: “Any player found by the Commissioner after a hearing to have been guilty of wagering (directly or indirectly), or of offering or attempting to wager, money or anything of value on the outcome, score, or any other aspect of any WNBA Competition shall, in the sole discretion of the Commissioner, be subject to a fine, suspension, and/or dismissal and disqualification from any further association with the WNBA.”

After the Dream’s win, Reese posted on X: “DUBS IN THE MF CHAT” #cuatrocientos” (with a goofy emoji face.)

Engelbert is unlikely to ban Reese or Bueckers, two of the league’s biggest stars, for this, as their wager would have no effect on them doing anything other than trying to win the game even more. The two even shared a heated exchange in the first quarter when Bueckers started clapping theatrically after she was called for a foul for standing her ground on Reese in the post.

Still, the two, by letter of the law, broke a WNBA rule and could face repercussions, along with whoever posted the video to the league’s account in the first place.

Crazy that Hunter Henry the only one that’s succeeded at the next level

Altee Tenpenny was a former running back for the University of Alabama football team. A highly regarded recruit in 2013, he played for the Crimson Tide in a reserve role during the 2013 and 2014 seasons, scoring his only touchdown in 2013 against Kentucky. Tenpenny transferred to UNLV in May 2015 due to limited playing time with Alabama, but was dismissed in August for violating team rules.

I'm going to say this again for those at the back: hundreds of thousands of TONS of books —some of them "rare" in the sense that obsolete books on Windows 95 programming or service manuals for Singer sewing machines from 1985 or books of racist jokes from 1958 are "rare"— are pulped or landfilled every year. It's illegal to digitally archive them because the PUBLISHERS won't allow it. If AI companies are diverting them to use for training on the way to being thrown out, that's GOOD, actually. The reporting on this is custom-crafted to be rage-bait for normie middle-class liberal book lovers, and you all are falling for it hook, line and sinker. Just complete suckers. Nobody is shredding Gutenberg bibles or the Codex Gigax here.
