I can’t wait to see who drafts my girl Enes Kanter Freedom. 😂

In a video, the former New York Knicks and Boston Celtics star said: 'After careful consideration and reviewing the current eligibility guidelines, I’m officially declaring myself a @WNBA prospect.

'If simply declaring who you are is all that’s required, then I meet every single requirement necessary to compete in the WNBA.

'My team and I have carefully examined the WNBA’s eligibility criteria and governing framework surrounding self-identification and inclusion. Based on the current guidelines, I can and am officially declaring my eligibility for the upcoming WNBA draft in April 2027.”

”See you at training camp.”

I hope they stick with it. I love how people are melting down over it.

It’s win-win.

It will force the WNBA to clarify how they define woman.

Or it will force the WNBA to clarify if it has a as yet unseen policy on things like testosterone reduction, something they haven’t disclosed yet.

Or it will force the WNBA to come out with something about false self-identification which will require them to define what is real and what is false, which they will openly fail to do.

Or these men will actually end up playing against women, which will be both hilarious and show it up for the madness that the entire ideology is in one fell swoop.

Brilliant! Reminds me of the DH of a mumsnetter who tried to join the WI - it exposes the ridiculousness of the rules and definitions. Good luck to them.

Bloody brilliant!

Totally agree. Better late than never but I don't know if they know how powerful they are and how this could have been stamped on years ago. Because they are men.

Here is the second hero. Though to be the fair these men have only done this NOW because Sophie Cunningham stepped up and risked everything and this caused a lot of media attention. If men had done this ten years ago then a lot of women's sports would be in a better place.

What a lovely, lovely man, to stick his head so far above the parapet in support of women athletes.

SodThisHeadache · 08/08/2026 06:02

Oh we need more of this. Stunning and brave

MarmaladeorJam · 08/08/2026 05:47

Another one has also declared.

Bloody well done lads - sorry - ladies.

Seriously though - it is a stunning and brave expose of what this actually is...

I wish more of the men folk would take the leap.

MassiveWordSalad · 08/08/2026 00:54

That’s hilarious. Go on, that lass 😁
