Add The California Post on Google WNBA star Sophie Cunningham is right: Keeping biological men out of women’s sports is common sense.
Ex-NBA player Enes Kanter Freedom drove home that point last week by announcing that will declare for the WNBA draft.
Royce White, another former NBA player and Republican politician, quickly followed, saying he’d do the same.
Ex-NBA star Enes Kanter claims he is entering the 2027 WNBA Draft. X/@EnesFreedom The men’s stunts follow a woke reply to Cunningham from WNBA brass: The league supports “justice, equity, diversity and inclusion”, it said, and will establish a “task force” to hash out rules on transgender athletes.
Oh dear. Can’t a basketball league just stick to basketball?
A little fun, levity and entertainment wouldn’t hurt, either.
To that end, Kanter Freedom and White have a point: Does anyone really think it’s fair for them to play in the WNBA?
Royce White, another former NBA player and Republican politician, quickly followed, saying he’d do the same. Instagram/@last.renaissance.man It would be a spectacle (which would never happen, of course).
They’d dominate, obviously, and we doubt a single female player would want to take a hard foul from either one.
The two men-turned-women (wink) would make a mockery of the league, and quickly. Kanter Freedom played 11 seasons in the NBA and weighs 250 pounds. White, who joined the NBA for one season, weighs in at 260.
What Cunningham argues, and Kanter and White are emphasizing through their trolling, is that biology produces some undeniable facts. The strongest men are physically stronger than the strongest women, and biological males have an innate advantage over women in sports.
That’s why men and women compete in separate leagues in the first place.
WNBA brass and some on the lickspittle left might find such facts inconvenient. But they can’t bend reality to fit their ideology.
