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.”

Oh, that's funny. I mean stunning and brave.

SabrinaThwaite · 08/08/2026 00:20

Good for him her him.

It’s all bollocks.

murasaki · 08/08/2026 00:26

Top lad. Sorry , lady.

MassiveWordSalad · 08/08/2026 00:54

That’s hilarious. Go on, that lass 😁

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.

SodThisHeadache · 08/08/2026 06:02

Oh we need more of this. Stunning and brave

Imdunfer · 08/08/2026 06:28

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

fromorbit · 08/08/2026 07:05

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.

SodThisHeadache · 08/08/2026 07:07

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.

IrnBruAndDietCoke · 08/08/2026 07:08

Bloody brilliant!

HappilyHarriet · 08/08/2026 07:47

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.

NotBadConsidering · 08/08/2026 08:00

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.

Go Enes!

mrshoho · 08/08/2026 09:06

More of this please 🙌! Hope the guys in the GAA step in this way too. At this stage it will be the only action officials will take note of.

MrsOvertonsWindow · 08/08/2026 09:27

If it's OK for Veronica Ivy (currently cheating women out of places in Canadian golf) it must also be good for Enes Kanter Freedom.

The TRA meltdowns are being met with a shrug and 'it's your rules'.

It's glorious.

Chersfrozenface · 08/08/2026 09:38

One poster on the Twix makes a very good point.

”I think you should follow up with this by going to any open tryout by WNBA (accompanied by your lawyers) and then pursuing legal action after you destroy everyone in your tryout and they don’t pick you."

RogueFemale · 08/08/2026 11:26

First class trolling

BernardBlacksMolluscs · 08/08/2026 11:37

off topic, but jesus, the size of him. blimey

elgreco · 08/08/2026 11:38

Brilliant

MarcTheGenderSkeptic · 08/08/2026 12:11

The madness is now so ingrained, there will be female sports journalists and coaches etc that will shamelessly publically declare (s)he's welcome in their female team.

SirChenjins · 08/08/2026 12:14

Brilliant - the more light that's shone on this utter madness the better.

SidewaysOtter · 08/08/2026 13:48

Brilliant!

Bet he doesn't get the same level of opprobrium and harassment that Cunningham has, though...

Helleofabore · 08/08/2026 14:07

It will actually force the discussion. And it also will take the focus off people harassing Sophie Cunningham.

It will also force all those coaches who declared that they are all for inclusion to either support him or give reasons why they don’t. I reckon that many will simply deflect as they have been trying to do with Sophie Cunningham and will call him hateful for mocking others.
