CHICAGO -- Former NBA player Enes Kanter Freedom was ejected from Sunday's game between the Indiana Fever and Chicago Sky after a verbal altercation with Sky guard Natasha Cloud. Kanter Freedom was sitting courtside in a black T-shirt that read: "WOMAN noun. adult human female." When a timeout was called late in the third quarter, Cloud walked toward Kanter Freedom and shouted at him. He was standing with his arms outstretched and took a few steps toward the court before security cut him off and directed him to leave.

The Toronto Tempo debuted a new “non-binary” mascot ahead of their WNBA matchup with the Indiana Fever in an apparent swipe at controversial star Sophie Cunningham. The Tempo revealed Dez, a butch, non-binary Borealis Blue Snapping Turtle who uses she/they pronouns and “has a fondness for soft shell tacos,” the team said in an Tuesday announcement unveiling the new mascot. Dez also has a partner in crime, anthropomorphic arctic hare named Dot who uses standard she/her pronouns.

Folks, Somehow, the green dildo has returned. If you think back to pretty much a year ago, you'll remember that there was an onslaught of green dildos being thrown onto WNBA courts mid-game. It was stopping the action every time. The craze then spread to the NFL where fans were throwing the sex toys onto the field, but it didn't really have the same effect. People ran the bit into the ground very quickly and it was no longer funny.

The Fever came away with the win, but the on-field action has not really been the main topic of discussion in the days since. Instead, a lot of it has centred around Sophie Cunningham being the only player to put her hand on her heart as the national anthem was playing. In the clip which has been shared by multiple accounts on X/Twitter, Cunningham is standing slightly away from the rest of her teammates, none of whom have their hands raised. Meanwhile, the Atlanta Dream squad are not believed to have taken to the court while the anthem was ongoing.

The WNBA is in the middle of the controversial discourse surrounding transgender athletes participating in women’s sports. SNIP The hot-button conversations have given way to a series of demonstrations and stunts, and the latest went down at the Las Vegas Aces game over the weekend. Two men wearing dresses and makeup attended the Aces’ matchup against the Minnesota Lynx on Saturday. The controversy surrounding the WNBA and transgender athletes prompted former NBA players Enes Kanter and Royce White to claim their eligibility for the draft. The unnamed men at the Aces game appear to be following suit.

Where sex is concerned, human reproductive biology is pretty standard: Humans are sexually bipolar, with two sexes, male and female. This is determined genetically at conception; barring a few rare and usually debilitating genetic disorders, an XX chromosome pair results in a female, and an XY pair, a male. That's just how it is. These are facts. And another fact is that the XY pairing gives the resulting child and, in time, adult, a significant advantage in sports. Now, the Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA) doesn't seem to understand that, especially with regards to "trans-women" - men - playing in...

Who knew a first-grade science question could so thoroughly upend a $5.5 billion enterprise? And yet the WNBA, whose first letter stands for women, can’t seem to shake the media firestorm over the meaning of sex. Now, weeks into what should have been a non-controversy — Sophie Cunningham’s declaration of support for men playing in their own league and not in hers — the leadership of the league is convening an emergency meeting to debate what should be the most obvious data point in the sport: who’s eligible to play in the WNBA.Of course, the league, under the spineless leadership...

What does it say when an organization has to call an all-hands meeting to define the word "woman"? Especially when the organization literally has that word in its title? And what does it say about the organization when it fails to do so? The Women's National Basketball Association held a league-wide meeting yesterday to address the issue of eligibility restrictions. Its charter makes clear that only "women" can compete in the league, a term which, up until a hot second ago, everyone understood perfectly. And after everyone cogitated for the entire day on what the word "women" means, the league...

WNBA Task Force meets to define “women.” This pic is NOT from the short video. Somebody posted it on the X post: And VERY true!

Former Utah Jazz center Enes Kanter Freedom said on Tuesday he’s officially begun his “transition” to a WNBA player — and he announced the move with a video that already has social media buzzing. Freedom shared a clip of him lifting weights while shirtless on his X page at around 7:30 a.m., and by noon, it had already garnered over 1.5 million views. “Let ‘The Transition’ to the @WNBA begin,” Freedom wrote in a caption on the footage. “Rules Are Rules! #LetFreedomPlay.” In the vid, Freedom could be seen hitting bicep curls with a pair of heavy dumbbells. His barrel...

Former NBA Draft first round pick (3rd overall in 2011) Enes Kanter Freedom, who has been an adamant opponent of LeBron James, the Chinese Communist Party, Nike, along with more political activism, which he believes blackballed him from the NBA, has officially declared himself a prospect for the 2027 WNBA Draft. Yes, I’m serious. In the aftermath of Sophie Cuningham making a definitive stance that women’s sports should remain female, many coaches and players have opened up the floodgates for men in their league. Golden State Valkyries forward Gabby Willliams even said, "I would welcome a trans athlete on my...

A male former NBA player is declaring himself eligible to join the WNBA, attempting to highlight how the league’s rules inadequately define women and effectively allow trans players. Former Utah Jazz center Enes Kanter Freedom on Friday released a video saying he meets the WNBA’s criteria for players and that his representatives plan to hold the league to the letter of their governing framework. “If simply declaring who you are is all that’s required, then I meet every single requirement necessary to compete in the WNBA,” Freedom said. “My team and I have carefully examined the WNBA eligibility criteria and...

Former NBA first-round pick and Minnesota Republican U.S. Senate candidate Royce White is taking his mockery of the WNBA’s incoherent gender policies to the next level. The 6-foot-8, 35-year-old is now testing out a blonde wig and declaring he’s entered his “feminine era” as he prepares for the 2027 WNBA Draft. The Gateway Pundit reported on Friday that White announced he has plans to enter the WNBA draft. “As I stated a few days ago, I am declaring for the 2027 WNBA Draft,” said former NBA player and current Republican Senate candidate in Minnesota, Royce White.

It came y'all... My 1st wig! Tomorrow I test it on the court. This is my feminine era glow up, did I slay? If y'all don't "yassss queen" you're transphobic. I really don't understand all the hatred, I just want to play some hoops with my fellow ladies. 💅🏽 Royce White for U.S. Senate MN 2026 WNBA #LetHerPlay

WNBA player DiJonai Carrington hard fouls Sophie Cunningham in the face and neck, got ejected, and then cried "white privilege" on social media

Shockwaves spread across the sports world Wednesday as former NBA king LeBron James announced he would not be playing for the Philadelphia 76ers during the 2026-2027 season and would instead join the Minnesota Lynx of the WNBA midseason. James cited an identity change from LeBron to Lebronya as the reason for the unexpected switch. “Yeah, once I saw the openness and the opportunity were there, it was an obvious decision for me,” James explained. “Clearly another NBA championship, a few thousand more points — it would have been nice. But how much more meaningful to win a championship as who...

As we've reported, the WNBA seems hellbent on self-destruction in the aftermath of Indiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham standing up for protecting women's sports from the invasion of transgender athletes."I got a lot of negative feedback about me hating trans. And I'm like, 'I never once said that,'" Cunningham told ESPN in a recent interview. "I think that I am here to extend love. But I also think with that love is truth, being honest. And I want to protect young girls in a locker room, or young girls in sport who shouldn't have to go against biological men."The result...
