Enes Kanter sat with the fans on Sunday at a WNBA game and, as it turns out, that’s as close as either he or other WNBA hopeful Royce White is going to get.
According to Front Office Sports’ Colin Salao, the WNBA has ruled both White and Kanter ineligible to play.
“Enes Kanter Freedom and Royce White are not eligible to play in the WNBA, league sources tell Front Office Sports,” Salao reported.
In addition, the league characterized Kanter’s antics as “publicity stunts”. It said that it is “not going to give oxygen to efforts designed to mock the league or use this topic to demean and marginalize others.”
The league added that it “will not allow outside pressure or manufactured controversy to dictate league processes.”
Multiple outlets reported the news as the WNBA made its stance on male inclusion clear. The statement does not contain the all-important explanation for why they have excluded White and Kanter.
Are they barred from the draft because they’re men? That would obviously be the correct and sensible conclusion. However, what does that mean for the WNBA’s stance on transgender issues? Does it acknowledge that men hold distinct physical advantages over women that would make trans inclusion unfair? Does it deny a man’s ability to identify himself as female and live his “truth”
And if so, does the league no longer support trans rights?
Kanter’s efforts to join the league became the focus on Sunday as he was singled out for an angry tongue -lashing from Chicago Sky guard Natasha Cloud. Kanter then stood with his arms extended, jawing back at the enraged player before security escorted him out.

Well then obviously they have no idea what a woman is, these two men who want to be women have EVERY RIGHT TO PLAY
sue them ...
There go my stats bets! /sarc
Lawsuit incoming!!
That’s no way to treat a lady.
This whole thing is so scripted, just to get people to notice the WNBA.
Nope. Not gonna do it. Their day is over. Football starts next week.
I believe only a lawsuit if they allow other fake women, she/he’s into the league...
Basically, termination them without cause. I smell lawsuits.
Lady? A lesbian is a “lady?”
Clown world, brought to you by Democrats.
“In addition, the league characterized Kanter’s antics as ‘publicity stunts’. It said that it is ‘not going to give oxygen to efforts designed to mock the league or use this topic to demean and marginalize others.’”
The WNBA does that well enough itself.
I’d say it’s working for now but who knows for how long.
Manufactured controversy! LOL! The Left wouldn't even exist if not for Manufactured controversy.
I hope they sue, as the WNBA regulations were vetted by a lawyer.
