If Jesse Watters has his way, you’ll never have to hear about Fox News’ The Five discussing the WNBA ever again.
Talk about a win-win.
During Wednesday’s episode of the daily talk show, the panel discussed the latest chapter in the eye-rolling saga between former NBA player Enes Kanter Freedom and the WNBA. Kanter has previously made headlines for claiming he should be allowed to play in the league as part of an anti-transgender athlete publicity stunt, even getting into a verbal altercation with a player before being removed from the arena. Earlier on Wednesday, Kanter said he received a letter from the league stating he was ineligible to enter the draft and he would later get booted from the WNBA Finals after refusing a suite.
While others on The Five panel tried to generate interest in this story, Watters couldn’t muster it and ended up giving away the game in his frustration.

I think Enes Kantner has pushed this bit of a skit for as long as he possibly could do so.
He’s a good public speaker. Maybe the Trump Admin. has sports related work that Enes could do,or help to get done.
Maybe he could assist RFK jr. speaking about health, exercise routines and diet. That would make a heck of a lot more sense than this business.
“Will the real Trans Player, please leave the Team alone?”
Could Kantner ever run for office in Turkey? Sick of that wishy washy country.
I like what the guys are doing to protect women! Call the WNBA’s bluff!
What a joke.
Kantner knows that he better not go anywhere near Turkey, certainly not now, while President Erdogan is still in office. Erdogan has sent Hit Men to America more than once, hoping to ‘eliminate ‘ Enes, who has strongly criticized Turkey’s human rights record.
How can someone who purchased a ticket to an event in a publicly owned stadium, who has done nothing be denied entrance to the event? If he misbehaves after entrance, then that is a different situation.
Enes is a PURE TREASURE!!!
I realize he’s a bit too rich for them but he’s got all the other stuff.
Enes Kantner should take it to court and force the WNBA to define “woman.” There is no other way to bell the cat.
We have long been at the point at which even to ask someone “What is a woman” is considered hate speech — by people who just make ad hoc decisions on the fly based on the politics of the moment.
Enes Kantner may not be the best person to lead the charge, but how else can we force the lunatic gender warrior types to defend a fixed position?
To me, it (a full time job, Trolling for effect) seems like a waste of his time and professional skills. But it’s his life.
