Lady Ballers and the Art of the Market
A controversial movie is dividing critics and audiences along political lines
The Daily Wire’s new movie, Lady Ballers, a biting satire on the current trans debate, is proving to be something of a hit with audiences if not corporate media critics.
For those unfamiliar with The Daily Wire, the online channel describes itself as one of America’s fastest-growing media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion and entertainment. Renowned for being a platform for political comment and debate, The Daily Wire has more recently moved into mainstream entertainment and production.
Lady Ballers is a new release from the channel and focuses on the recent controversies around men who identify as transgender women competing in women’s sports.
In the movie, a basketball coach looking to repeat past glories reunites with his former high school championship basketball team and challenges them to play like girls.
