It's not "my" issue, it's America's. I have no skin in the game except my desire for women's sports to be only for women, to protect women's safety, and for no cheating to be allowed.

It all boils down to an easy question with an obvious answer: What is a woman? It's insane and hilarious that the woke organization is unwilling to define the term that defines their league.

When I wrote that, I knew it wasn't what I meant. My apologies.

I don't know why she can't just say he's not eligible to play. I'd add, not committed to the bit.

When Trump tried to force the NFL to accept his team as an expansion team at the expense of the other owners, disgusted Pete Rozelle told him he'd never own an NFL franchise. For some reason she can't shut this down.

Based on league rules and the WNBA CBA, why isn't Enes Kanter eligible to play?

---

League rules say no blokes. He's not even faking being a Sheila.

---

The league CBA states, "only players who are women are eligible to play in the WNBA."

There is no definition of "women" provided.

So again, without a definition of what "women" is, why isn't Enes Kanter or the others who have declared eligible?

---

They don't need to define it. He's not one. He's ineligible.

---

How is he not a woman then?

If you will not define it...and they will not define it....then how do we know he is not a woman?

If dylan mulvaney is a woman...and hunter schafer is a woman....then why is Kanter not a woman?

---

Because this is an attention ruse that's using these women to make a political point political points.
"

---

Is it not also a political point to refuse to define what a woman is?

And how do we know if everyone who defines themselves as a woman and wants to play in the league is just doing "political points"

Maybe they just feel they are female and want to compete in the league

---

Why is it theirs to do? I saw a clip between these two factions where, on one side, conservative groups are protesting in favor of Cunningham. On the other side are WNBA fans.

The reporter asked, "Protesters, can you name 5 WNBA players? They could only name two. WNBA fans could name Beckers, Bird, Wilson, Clark, Cunningham, and more.

My point is that non-fans, non-customers are making political hay on the league's back. One of my life lessons is that you will meet people whose your value to them is their ability to use you.

The commissioner has got to get the league past this. It's not going away.

To which Enes Kanter or Royce White or Julie Tetart or anyone else who is formally denied eligibility without a clear reason as to why can respond that they will sue for discrimination or collusion if there is evidence for that.

There is a clear reason. We said no. Political posturing isn't a protected class. That French man? Unimpressed with his game.

Fine, if sued they can use that as their primary argument. Not sure how well "We said no" has worked in employment discrimination lawsuits, but that's for them to decide how best to argue their case should this go to court.

Julie Tetart averaged 21 ppg and 20 rpg.

I notice the WTA doesn't have any of these messy public issues on this topic.

---

WTA doesn't have these problems, yet. Partly because stupid men are not trying to pile on them (yet). Why wouldn't a man ranked 225 not sue the WTA or declare himself to be a woman based on these tactics yall are cheering for? Why wouldn't nonsense not jump that fence? Their "definition" has only been in place since July. It hasn't had time to be challenged. White and them might f around and set a precedent.

Julie is playing French basketball players. SHe's 6'3" and built like a dude. I believe the WNBA centers are far more skilled. (That's my eye test).

For Julie to play, she'd have to be drafted and make the team. To my basketball eye, she looks like the difference between the player who plays in the church league vs the person who plays D1 college.

---

The WTA doesn't have this exact problem because they have eligibility requirements on being a woman and have specifically stated:

"In this policy, 'biological male' means an individual who, regardless of their legal sex or gender identity, has an SRY gene and therefore has or previously had testes or streak testes; and 'biological female' means an individual who, regardless of their legal sex or gender identity, has no SRY gene and therefore has or previously had ovaries or streak ovaries,"

There has already been a transgender tennis player, Renee Richards, who interestingly is now opposed to it. However the rules as specified now were not in place back then.

The French league has many former WNBA and D1 players, but I'm sure current WNBA players would be better competition. Either way, the question in this conversation isn't "How good is Julie Tetart?" The question is, "Is Julie Tetart eligible to play in the WNBA?"

So why hasn't the WNBA called that French player that has done transition stuff and is playing in a women's league in France?

Are they saying she is not a woman?

Seems like they have a definition of what a woman is, but won't say it for fear of upsetting that crowd but are also still meeting to define a woman.....

They are clearly playing stall tactics hoping this goes away and they can avoid a lawsuit.

---

Because she ugly? She's also like 37. It's because they have bad leadership.

Playoffs are about to start on a great season and they're getting bogged down in the nonsense. I may need to step in and show them how to man up.

---

So it's ageism then?

Age is not a factor. If it was all these athletes (men or women) that have played at 37 and beyond would not keep finding teams.

Fk, I hate the left

I'm glad people like Ennis are exposing brain dead liberals/left/dems

The fight is being fought in the WNBA because the league has terrible leadership that refuse to lead. This is clearly illustrated by the contempt they show for Caitlyn Clark (the best thing that has ever happened to them) and Sophie Cunningham (because she was honest).

That's the social media Talking Point - why is the WNBA being "targeted" ... as usually conveniently forgetting the nutty antics of their coaches that made this a story.

Well, they have given their answer, and it seems for several years they have felt this way.

They believe that fake women like these two guys should be able to compete with real women.

I think their issue is the wrong fake women are encroaching on their approved fake women.

I think it was sparked inadvertently by Sophie Cunningham. A reporter asked her a politically charged question and she gave an honest, common sense answer. She also refused to back down and lie when the Left had a tantrum because they cannot deal with obvious facts. It didn't help that her coach, teammates, and the league refused to stand by her. Apparently, no one in the league has the courage to stand up for women except Sophie. That's why it's so important.

Ironically, Enes Kanter & Royce White are doing more for women with their stunt than any of the "feminists" by trying to force the league into dealing with reality.

---

Sure, but I think the league poured gasoline on it by the coach wearing the stupid shirt, the nutjob owner screaming at kids, etc.

The league is stuck because they have two sets of fans:
- The hardcore lesbians
- Normal people taking their kids to see Caitlyn Clark

It cannot risk alienating the lesbians because that's the foundation - interest in Clark will wane in the next few years likely and it will just be the radical lesbians. Ironically - or not - women tend to be the most anit-science and anti-women.

But the patriarchy!!
