If I want to watch men play, I’ll watch a NBA game.

This is such a stupid discussion. I cannot wait until summer is over and serious things can happen.

A former #3 overall pick in the NBA who is around 6-10 and 260 has just declared himself Trans, they should be the unquestioned #1 overall pick in the WNBA draft and could potentially put up Wilt Chamberlain numbers.

The left’s own rules, intended to destroy the norms of civilization, are being used against them and they don’t like it.

Second, our player eligibility rules, unlike the eligibility rules of some other leagues and governing bodies, are collectively bargained.

That sounds like something that someone who does not know what she’s doing would do.

Why even have male and female leagues at this point???

COMBINE THE TWO - EVERYBODY WINS!!!!

If a team believes their women and transtesticle players are good enough to form an entire team together to try to beat an all male team, I would definitely watch!!!

A bunch of 6'11" troons running up and down the court executing perfect dunks and layups, dicks swinging and wigs flying.

It'll be the most entertaining sporting event ever.

“...who have responded with thoughtfulness and professionalism.” E.G.:

I’m too uneducated to know what a woman is (and I intend to remain ignorant).

Trans kids belong, buy why are males invading the coaching ranks?

My focus is on basketball. (Ditto for many mediocre male college players)

I would welcome a (man) on my team.

This is either a really stupid decision or the greatest marketing concept of all time.

I love this issue.

Jam penises down their woke throats.

Figuratively, of course.

Yes, Cathy Engelbert played Division I college basketball at Lehigh University, where she joined as a walk-on, scored 861 career points, and served as a senior team captain. College Basketball Career, Walk-on to Captain: She joined the team at Lehigh University and eventually became a senior captain under Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame coach Muffet McGraw. Two-Sport Athlete: She also played varsity lacrosse at Lehigh and served as captain for that team too.Stats and Honors: During the 1986 season, she helped win an East Coast Conference title and earned Second Team All-Conference honors, finishing her college career with 861 points and a .498 field goal percentage. I doubt Cathy ever played against men, so what the hell are you doing woman?

The transgender discussion is the only reason the WNBA gets any attention at all.

All she wanted to do was play basketball, but in the process, she broke barriers,
fought for equality and changed the game forever.



Time to break those barriers again and fight for equality.

“Second, our player eligibility rules, unlike the eligibility rules of some other leagues and governing bodies, are collectively bargained.”

That’s the money quote. Here is a link to the WNBA Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA): https://www.wnbpa.com/_files/ugd/8121a3_675911316ca142178932adc1e56519ac.pdf

CBA Art. XIII, § 1(a) states, “Only players who are women are eligible to play in the WNBA.” Although the CBA includes 16 pages of definitions, the word “women” is not defined.

What WNBA Commissioner Engelbert is really saying is that even if we want to open the league to trans men pretending to be women, we can’t because the CBA limits eligibility to women — which, of course, goes against the official LGBTQ+/radical left/woke position that trans women are real women.

Although the CBA can be modified with the consent of all parties to expressly define “women” to include trans women, such a modification would put every WNBA player (who are biological woman) at risk of losing their job to a biological man.
