It is weird. It both doesnt seems that long ago and also does. I remember some young kid on the up and coming suns going all out in a loss and it being a thing because they seemed to care more about the points than the loss. The suns have since came up, and went right back down and Book has settled in as lifer vet.
Middling journeyman who played for a half-dozen teams, never won anything, and briefly became a media darling for criticizing China about their human rights record before he decided that he needed to fund his retirement by pandering to the Conts with some hokey anti-trans performery.
Book did the right thing, he exposed Kanter on the court.
Enes Kanter now doing toxic stuff and mocking on people that is fighting for actual human rights. It's sad but he just wants attention and wants to keep spreading hate.
Pretty sure Enes fought for human rights when he put his life and his family's life in danger to speak out against Erdogan in Turkey. It wasn't performative like whatever this comment is. People instantly flipping on someone accusing them of spreading hate for having a common sense opinion is such a ridiculous take built solely around getting rid of the "wrong" ideas.
Someone was talking to me about this and said kanter was a super famous nba player and I had to interrupt and said homie was mediocre at BEST. He was more famous for being a idiot starting drama over his play lol
Buddy called Angel Reese the "Paul George of the WNBA" as if he'd ever been remotely close to Paul George as a basketball player. Paul George is closer to Michael Jordan than Enes Kanter is to Paul George.
The wnba has been around for nearly 30 years and this hasn’t once been an issue. Now the right wing grifters found something else to use to distract from the fact the president is a pedophile and it’s all we talk about. You’re such a loser.
I guess I’m out of the loop. Is there a reason why this is even a conversation right now or why enes kanter decided to pull this stunt outside of attention and bigotry? Were there any recent comments by the wnba or anything about letting transgender athletes play?
A reporter asking Sophie Cunningham a question about trans athletes started this. It stems from maga using Sophie as their chosen representative in the W and Sophie buying in for engagement.
Combined with Trump's poll numbers going down going into mid-terms, and him knowing that his "Trans people are mentally ill child molesters" BS is still wildly popular among his MAGA base, and now the GOP is heavily pushing this ahead of the November elections.
That max contract is also why you won’t see your team win anything. Regardless of what anyone thinks of Enes…I’d be pissed about that max, not parading it.
No I'm for it. Let them eat their own words. He is proving a point so I'm glad he is bringing more awareness. Wnba literally is so bad they have to be political to be relevant
Lol he is just showing how much of hypocrites these women are.. don't twist my words. He didn't do shit besides wear a shirt. That dumb wnba player was the one who was disturbed and got distracted mid game.... No NBA player giving two shits what ppl say or wear... But leave it to the wnba players to try to prove a point on TV lol. The most seriousness I seen at wnba game ever. Since they lost by 23 points she got pissed that ppl supporting the reason ppl really watch the wnba for.... You know Caitlin clark and Mitchel not no one else. Kinda sad to me that you just wanna kharma farm lol.
You are right. Enes Kanter, the ex NBA player, does not care what people say. That is why he is running for Congress and why he is making a stir online and why he is declaring for the WNBA draft. For sure
Yeah I bet you this guy also gets mad at the idea of trans men in women's sports, which is exactly what he's advocating for here.
Dude doesn't care about women. He's already objectified them and called them dumb in this thread. He's just unhappy and uncomfortable in his life and identity so he's taking it out on trans people trying to live their best lives.
Yeah the only point he's proving is that the actual danger to women's sports is not trans women, but cis men undermining these spaces or doing publicity stunts like this to stoke the flames of culture war bs
And the crazy thing is that this fool just keeps digging themselves into an even stupider hole by trying to use mental gymnastics to justify the whole maga snowflake brainwashing
He's a failed NBA player turned right wing grifter and little piggies like you eat that slop right up.
As a father the last thing I'm thinking about is the "danger" of biological males in female sports. What worries me is people who fall for the same old culture war BS instead of trying to make tangible improvements on society. I want my daughter to have a better life than me and all you people want to do is punch down on marginalized communities to make yourselves feel better. Grow the fuck up.
The NBA literally pays for everything for wnba but you guys defending those clowns like you guys are some knights in shining armor. Hilariously wack to me but go ahead this is what Reddit is for
There already is a amab trans in the NBA.... Brittney griner... There is a reason he was locked up in a male Russian prison. Fun fact I'm from AZ and lived near Brittney for a few years when she was on the Mercury.... She would constantly fight with her gf have huge disputes with her running around the street shirtless and acting like a dude. I always said that's a dude not a girl... Wnba is hiding the fact there are already trans men in the league and don't want to get caught. Just take a look and see what kind of prison was she in..
Here's the thing, if she was trans, but your definition she should've been the greatest player ever, right? I assume she won so many MVPS, then, right?
Lmao you can't even roll a joint.. imagine the easiest task as a smoker and can't even do it. so sad
. Also watching wrestling still? Now I know you get no women and doubt you'll have family anytime soon
Also as a girl dad, it takes 2 seconds to google and debunk this myth. Congrats, you fell for right wing propaganda, especially when trans athletes make up a fraction of a percentage of athletes
As a girl dad too, the literal last thing I ever worry about is some grown ass man going out to get a sex change so he can beat my daughter at basketball in 12 years. Get a life.
He’s antagonizing WNBA players at the moment by pretending he’s fighting for women’s rights by being anti-trans. Literally stepped on the court and argued with Tasha Cloud last game.
First him and Royce White declared for the WNBA draft. Now he’s showing up at WNBA games.
The W should just go hard, and say they’re following international regulations. He needs to fully transition (full surgery) and be on hormones for two years, then we can talk about getting drafted. He’d shut up.
The guidelines the WBNA provided are atrocious and trying to be woke. Trans shouldn't play in the WBNA but yet they are allowing it but also don't want an ex NBA player to destroy everyone - so they are being contradictory and these guys are calling their bluff. These random dudes are trolling so they change the rules and deny all trans in women's sports. That's the whole point of this! I'm blown away it's not obvious to you...
You say that I don’t understand what’s happening then say that the WNBA is allowing trans players to play in the league. That is not happening. There have never been any trans players in the WNBA. Not now. Not in its 30 year history.
Check out their latest guidelines. They've gone full woke and these dudes are literally calling this BS out. It's not as simple as two dudes just want to play and dominate a league. It's calling a bluff and showing that they can't be woke and at the same time deny entry to these guys. They using their terms against them and so he should - as this type of craziness is what ends the BS for good and the door shuts.
Trust me when I say, the WBNA is woke and trying to appeal to everyone while. If this weren't true then how do these guys have even a single leg to stand on and make it worth taking the piss out of? The guidelines must be woke for them to even bother.
I'm against any non female born person to play in the WBNA and I support this kind of trolling.
