On Monday the WNBA has ruled that former NBA players Enes Kanter Freedom and Royce White are ineligible to enter the league’s draft or play in the women’s circuit after both men announced they identify as women and formally declared for the 2027 draft.
The league has reportedly dismissed the moves as publicity stunts intended to mock the organization.
According to reports from Front Office Sports, the WNBA stated it “is not going to give oxygen to efforts designed to mock the league or use this topic to demean and marginalize others” and “will not allow outside pressure or manufactured controversy to dictate league processes.”
It was another preachy nothingburger from the world’s most dysfunctional sports league.
