Donald Trump puts WNBA on blast with Enes Kanter, Dennis Rodman hype speech

Enes Kanter Freedom and Dennis Rodman attended President Donald Trump’s campaign rally at Choctaw Event Center in Durant, Oklahoma on Thursday.

Trump took the time to give Kanter and Rodman a shoutout as he ranted about the transgender athlete debate.

“Have men playing in women’s sports?” Trump said with the crowd booing. “Where the hell is Freedom? Stand up please. I mean, in all fairness, this guy is a monster. He dreams of playing against women. Like he’s willing to say that he’s a woman in order to play against women. And I don’t think he really believes that, but that’s OK,” the President said jokingly.

Trump proceeded to give Rodman a shoutout, calling him the all-time rebounding king. In a post on X, Kanter discussed details of the conversation he had with the president and the former Chicago Bulls star.

“After a great conversation with President @realDonaldTrump, I officially invited him to my first @WNBA game in 2027. Also, @NBA Hall of Famer @dennisrodman has agreed to coach me this offseason and get me ready for the #WNBA season,” Kanter wrote.

“Like he’s willing to say that he’s a woman in order to play against women.”

Sorry Mr. Trump. But until the league has determined what a woman is, and they have tried, then he’s as much woman as they are. And besides, with him in the lineup, whoever he plays for is gpng to get possibly 20 points, maybe more, for his size, strength, and already established skills. He will be a greater draw than Clark and his shoe contracts will be enormous. He’s smarter than you think.

Enes Kanter Freedom was an above-average NBA player and an elite offensive rebounder, but his major defensive weaknesses kept him from becoming a star. By playing with less physically gifted people he will be able to hold his ground and at least force the opposition to change their shots cutting down on percentages. And he will be able to score at will underneith. It’s the leagues fault he exists. They tried to BS the game. Now it is kicking back on them.

Another title not normally considered is in play now...

Title VII violations occur when an employer discriminates against a job applicant or employee based on race, color, religion, sex (including pregnancy, sexual orientation, and gender identity), or national origin. Since an employee’s sex can not be determined, he can’t be excluded. I hope he forces their hands. Besides, it should be equal as a woman can play in the NBA...why not the other way around.

“I have not heard one women speak up and say get women out of men’s sports!”

And you won’t. Professional women’s sports have been trying to get the big bucks for years. They have had failed baseball and basketball leagues fold many times over the last 50 years. And the only sports programs that women have been successful competing with men have been non-contact sports like equestrian, archery, chess...games that do not require a physical skill beyond their body capacities and match their learned skills.

Some of the games even have changes to the games that create an assistance to the competition. Golf is one of those examples. (Different tee blocks) But even with that, the only woman to ever make a cut to compete for the tournament prizes was Babe Deidrikson Zaharias in 1945 when she played the Los Angeles Open, the Phoenix Open, and the Tuscon Open. Her highest finish was a tie for third. But it might be noted that she competed when all the major golfers were fighting the war. There have been 6 other players from 1952 to today that tried. None made the cut. The last two “big” names to try were Michele Wie and Lexi Thompson. And cutting MS Thompson was a real problem for me as it was at the Shriners’ Open to support the hospitals. Might have been a good draw to garnish more funds. Bad business decision.

There has been some success in young women competing in high school wrestling but when they got college, that ended because they could go to a facility, college, that catered to women competition.

But as for the pro’s, lack of attendance trying to compete with their countrerparts has been the major factor why their leagues failed.

I agree with your take on the *whole* subject. However *I* think it is a much, much simpler discussion.

Women’s sports (esp. professional) misses the mak because they fail to understand their attractiveness to a sports fan base is *the competition* between similarly situated individuals in a level competition profile vis-a-vis rules and so forth.

Thus...
Women’s softball... Fantastic sports viewing experience.
Women’s track and field at all distances... Fantastic fan experience.
You can probably throw women’s volleyball and a few others in too but some sports like basketball suffer from a clear lack of skills purely based in physical differences from the men’s competition. But that actually makes the simple basic point of why there is a difference and why the whole issue is asinine.

Sports boils down to the simple principle of one side saying *I’m gonna* and the other side saying *No you are not*. That’s it, that’s all that’s going on, everything else is a detail (rules, venue, who what, when, where and how, etc.).

So you watch women’s sports because it is good competition, not because it is the best competition, rather among the participants it is *good* competition (good being defined as even chances OR my kid is playing in this Jr. High game and I like it.)

My favorite women’s sports competition currently is top level women’s middle and long distance track and field where Eastern bloc communist steroid induced world records since the early 1980’s are about to fall to *clean* women’s athletes. That’s fantastic sports by any estimation.

What I don’t like is idiotic statements like someone saying women have *handles* like Kyrie Irving. The very best women can’t even bring the ball up without falling on their face. The *W* is the worst way to compare women’s and men’s sports which should never happen outside of ticket and fan attendance measures. If women can pull that off, more power to them, but don’t tell me just because you are playing the game they deserve to be considered as good as the men.

Here’s and example from my own point above. The women’s world record for the 800m that I am so anxiously waiting to fall is about 1:53. That time is a typical cutoff time for *qualifying* for the boy’s HS state championships in the US. So if you are looking at it on the basis of men vs. women, the women don’t even count *At All* and *Trans* in women’s sports is a unique kind of delusional Evil both in the political and spiritual sense.

So let the *W* die a DEI Marxist-Socialidst delusional death aside from what their real die hard fans want to support. The fact is on objective skills their overall product really sucks hard as currently framed. In fact the ONLY reason the *W* has any attention right now beyond *my kid is playing* attention is that Clark can objectively shoot 3pt shots like historic players like Bird and current players like Curry. Her skill attention is independent of male-female comparison (not totally but close).

Apologies for saying something is simpler and then writing so much. I I haven’t boiled this issue down like I do when explaining baseball to a European...

“You put the bat on the ball and you put the ball in the glove. Everything else is a detail”.

” However *I* think it is a much, much simpler discussion.”

Well put, but I think it comes down to a more simple discussion if you get past the tools that are being sold and used. And it is not limited to sports but to every phase of our society. Business and government become the leads.

For too many years women were not recognized as a competitor to men in anything as the laws to include religious interpretation were estblished to channel women into a protective needed role. So when they blasted out it was not a transition but an explosion. And sports is just the entertainment of the now transition that is moving faster than history. People can find a way to use anything good or bad. You don’t see much in the media about the comeptition between women and men concerning business or politics based upon capacity? Not even when you have a legit question as to that capacity like with Biden and his mental losses.

Capability wise, they are equal in these areas now after the education level of women was finally balanced with men. Today, 47% of U.S. women ages 25 to 34 have a bachelor’s degree, compared with 37% of men. And they aren’t taking those degrees from men. They earn them because it is an area they can legitimately compete as physical demands are not on the table. The share of young women with a bachelor’s degree has increased by 22 percentage points since 1995, from 25% to 47%. Over the same period, men have seen a smaller increase (12 points, from 25% to 37%). Maybe the women found a better use of their time...who knows?

But that topic won’t entertain people. That’s up to the marketing folks for each business. They get the commercials that pay the bills between the sports talk to sell their wares. Sports are the deversion that gets the products sold for society.

But this sounds too simple and the people who make their money can’t afford to get it to that. So they create conflict as that sells papers. And keeps the reaers on the edge of their chairs waiting to see what happens next. Thank you for the entry.
