Former basketball star Candice Wiggins is citing the “toxic” environment at the Women’s National Basketball Association for her decision to leave the league.

In an interview with the San Diego Union-Tribune, the 30-year-old athlete claimed she was bullied for being heterosexual and called the culture at the WNBA “very, very harmful.” Wiggins, a four-time All-American guard at Stanford University, left the WNBA last year after eight years with four league teams.

“Me being heterosexual and straight, and being vocal in my identity as a straight woman, was huge,” Wiggins said. “I would say 98 percent of the women in the WNBA are gay women. It was a conformist type of place. There was a whole different set of rules they [the other players] could apply.”


Not shocked, but shocked it is that high.
