Chicago Sky guard Natasha Cloud fired off a pro-trans message on Sunday night following an altercation with Enes Kanter Freedom during the team’s loss to the Indiana Fever.
In the third quarter, Cloud scored a bucket that led to the Fever calling a timeout. She directed her emotion toward Freedom, who was sitting near the basket at the Wintrust Arena. Freedom stood up and walked toward Cloud. Sky players and security had to get in between the two.
It wasn’t immediately clear what Cloud and Freedom were yelling at each other about. Freedom was escorted out of the arena and was unable to return for the rest of the game.
Cloud didn’t speak at the Sky’s postgame media availability. She fired off a message on Threads in support of the transgender community.
“To every trans kid/person, You are apart of MY community & tribe. You belong. You’re loved. You’re seen. You’re perfect as you are. & you will always be protected by me,” Cloud wrote.
Cloud’s message appeared to be a swipe at Freedom, who announced his intentions to compete in the WNBA as players and coaches have spoken out about trans athletes in women and girls’ sports. Freedom was wearing a T-shirt with the definition of a woman on it.
“Woman – adult human female,” his shirt read.
Freedom attended his first WNBA game after saying he wanted to join the WNBA. As he entered the arena Sunday afternoon, he was berated by a mob of angry WNBA fans.
After the incident, Freedom fired off a few social media posts.

WNBA Drama=Attention.
This is all an act.
Makes sense. She knows how many men are already in the WNBA league and she’s standing up for them.
Amazingly, the WNBA doesn’t allow trans players but it is debating whether they should start allowing them.
:: This is all an act. ::
Of course; from both sides.
Now, all EK Freedom needs to do is announce his next venue and tickets will sell ... maybe sell-out.
I wouldn’t be surprised to find out Freedom cleared this whole thing with his NBA handlers to bump ticket sales as the playoffs approach.
And those dismal ratings for the “ESPN WNBA Draft Show” might make a turn.
Hey WNBA, DILLIGAFF?
Do I Look Like I Give A Flying F***?
I hope those MALE basketball players force the courts to admit them so that they can kick your asses.
Meant to ping you.
Natasha’s pro-mental illness mind is cloudy.
WNBA is as exciting to watch as Jerry Springer reruns.
Hang on, I thought Enes Kanter identifies as a woman now, shouldn’t we “respect” this and allow him/her/it to play in the WNBA?
I wonder if the WNBA guarantees that only women play while you buy a ticket. Could be false advertising. Another lawsuit.
The WNBA is just the WWF with a ball.
I would not like my 120 pound daughter playing against Moose Kanter. He cannot purchase enough liability insurance to cover his lawsuits if he injured my child.
That’s the way in appeared to me. Contrived on both sides. I do hope that Ennes and Royce are able to join the league, but I think that was easily dealt with during the recent GM’s meeting that was ostensibly to arrive at a definition of “Woman.” In reality, that meeting was to make sure that the team executives continued to provide a united front in the face of pressures to change. It was nothing more that a politburo meeting.
It was reported that Cloud was saying to Freedom that Sophie wasn’t going to sleep with him. As if that was his motive to support women. That seems pretty racist to me.
Fine... let the fluffers in and sing kumbaya!! Then watch your ratings plummet you stupid broads...
They already have a few suspect players, one of which has competed in the Olympics and won 2 gold medals. It's a can of worms.
Defining "woman" in biological terms would lead to genetic testing for all the current (and possibly past) players.
Exactly. As much as the sports media tries to make this a serious sport on par with men’s sports, its a soap opera clown show.
The WNBA is just the WWF without balls..............
