Former NCAA swimmer and OutKick contributor Riley Gaines has spoken out after the outlet was denied media credentials for WNBA games, following coverage of a video featuring Brittney Griner. The video, which was shared via a collaborative Instagram post, sparked social media speculation about Griner’s remarks. OutKick’s Dan Zaksheske reported that the team requested credentials for two Atlanta Dream games but were denied, with teams citing limited space and previous coverage as reasons. Gaines criticized the decision, noting OutKick’s past ease in obtaining credentials, and vowed to continue asking tough questions despite the denial.
Fox News Digital also submitted a request to cover Friday’s Dream-Sun game. That request was not approved as it was submitted
