Three-time WNBA All-Star Dearica Hamby has sued the WNBA and her former team, the Las Vegas Aces, for pregnancy discrimination. Shortly after securing the Aces' first WNBA Championship and signing a two-year contract extension with the team, Hamby revealed she was pregnant. Within months of her disclosure, Hamby was told she was being traded and losing certain employment-related benefits.

Alleging violations of Title VII and Nevada state law, Hamby has opened discussion about pregnancy and discrimination in women’s professional sports. At the same time, her suit recalls how women’s sports are treated differently from men’s sports, especially when it comes to compensation.

Kristin Hendriksen and Amit Bindra discuss Hamby’s case from an employment law perspective, while also touching on broader issues that plague professional sports. Tune in if you’re a sports nerd, an employment law geek, or both!
