Charles Barkley DIDN'T HOLD BACK On Brittney Griner After Doctor RESULT - "LOOK AT THE TEST!"
YouTube ^ | 08/06/2026 | CourtTea and BASKLY

Posted on 08/09/2026 8:15:21 PM PDT by SmokingJoe

This video discusses the intense controversy surrounding WNBA player Sophie Cunningham following her public comments on the inclusion of transgender women in women's sports (2:29-2:49).

Key Takeaways:

Cunningham's Stance: Cunningham stated that competitive sports divisions should be separated by biological sex to ensure fairness and safety, a position she has maintained despite significant backlash (2:36-2:40, 9:35-9:53).

Public and League Reaction: Following her remarks, Cunningham faced organized opposition, including being booed in arenas and targeted by protesters (3:46-4:11, 21:35-21:50). A notable incident involved Seattle Storm co-owner Celeste Katon confronting teenage fans holding signs of support for Cunningham (7:04-7:36).

Charles Barkley's Intervention: Charles Barkley entered the discourse, vocally supporting Cunningham's right to express her opinion and agreeing with her stance on biological distinctions in sports. He warned the league against penalizing athletes for sincere views (1:32-2:23, 8:47-9:11).

Broader Support and Debate: Various sports figures, including Shaquille O'Neal, Kendrick Perkins, and Sage Steele, have defended Cunningham's right to speak without facing a "public trial." The video highlights a divide between those who believe these topics require more nuanced discussion and those who view Cunningham's comments as a common-sense position (10:47-11:07, 12:26-12:55, 14:21-14:56).

Conduct: Throughout the controversy, Cunningham has been noted for her composed response, avoiding personal attacks and maintaining a professional demeanor even while being heavily criticized (14:31-14:43, 20:38-21:05).

Matt Walsh said it best.

There is not a men’s NFL, men’s MLB, men’s PGA, men’s MLS, or men’s NBA. Otherwise there would be no female representation in pro sports.

There is a reason for women’s leagues. Keep it that way.

He probably meant to say “leftist women” (formerly called liberals) are stupid... because there are plenty of real, non-leftist women that are smart enough to see through the lies and BS these days.

This transgender madness is just another plank or factor in the intent by the globalist left to destroy America from within.

I tried to research it and found no sign that Barkley said it or that a test was even given. Not that I doubt it, but you need actual evidence to make such claims.

Just checked it on Grok.
They couldn't find Barkley trashing Griner either.
Headline is wrong for such a good video.

Well, maybe…maybe… he should have said “ leftists”, but….he didn’t. Quite the sweeping generalization he made there. He best apologize lest his Freeper life turns to hell. You’ve heard of women scorned?

You left off the /s
You know what a misogynist is, a man who hates women as much as women do. Don’t hold your breath.

“Women are some of the stupidest people on the planet.”

Some of? Doesn’t that mean that the rest of the “stupidest people on the planet” are men and it is therefor equally valid to say “Men are some of the stupidest people on the planet”?

I wasn’t being sarcastic, neither were you. We now know what you think of women, don’t try and weasel out of your words.

”When I was in school, if I tried to join the Girls swim team, the coach would have said “Get the hell out of here!”, and probably get my ass kicked if I went in their locker room. Then I would have probably got arrested.”

It was a darker time back then. Almost medieval.

“ saw a photo of “her” shirtless. That’s a guy.”
Griner fathered a kid with his “partner”.
You can’t make this stuff up, it’s real.

There’s mental illness involved.

But the people behind the scenes promulgating these policies are not nuts.

They are evil.
