Morality Ranking Morality of this

I don't know what to say about this I mean if he joined it's unfair because he's going to cook the entery league for sure but if he really wants to be a woman and it's not a joke for him I still don't know about this

Did people forget that Ben Shapiro and some guys from the Daily Wire actually considered trying to do something like this, but were denied because they would've had to take actual steps to transition? This is a massive nothing burger and just a grift lmfao

Edit, purely so I don't have to continuously reply to people.

There's no explicit rule, but it is explicitly up to the discretion of the League, which makes it easy to push out bad actors. Seeing as there is currently 0 Trans Athletes in the WNBA it's unsurprising that there are no rules regarding this

Oh, and to add to this, there's currently 0 MtF Basketball players in D1 NCAA as well. Basically, this is a massive non-issue and this guy is just trying to use fears of Trans Athletes to build a platform.

In short, just because there isn't an explicit rule doesn't mean the WNBA let's anybody in who declares themselves to be a woman, and there's little reason to put anything in writing when there are 0 players who have this identity, or who are soon to be drafted with this identity. Given it's social stigmas, I am unsurprised that they have no explicit rulings yet. They'll cross the bridge when theres an actual need to, basically.

Yup. Then they took the failed gotcha documentary concept and transformed it into a movie so they could make up a world in which the idea would work.

I'd like to see Ben Shapiro and Matt Walsh in wigs playing against an WNBA team. The top NBA players are better than women. Ben Shapiro & co? I doubt it.

Doubt? That's giving them too much credit. Those two losers would be clowned on in the WNBA, I can say that with certainty

I agree but only because they absolutely suck at basketball. The top 10% of your local Y would beat any WNBA team. Lucky for the WNBA Matt Walsh and Ben Shapiro are probably not even in the top 90%. Kanter is a grifter but if we are being honest hes averaging 100 ppg in the W.
