Several parts ago, when I put a screed against Sophie Cuntingham, I entitled it that the WNBA will die within five years.
An action yesterday by two former NBA player bigots may have actually accelerated that to the end of this season.
Enes Freedom and Royce White have given the WNBA an ultimatum: "Embrace Hate or Lose The League".
On the same day the WNBPA (the players association) rejected the hateful words of Cunningham and the usage of their two White superstars as right-wing political pawns, especially as it relates to transgender players, Freedom and White went Juwanna Mann and declared for the WNBA Draft.
Someone needs to kick their asses. I don't give a damn if they are or were professional athletes.
Freedom is a known homophobe and transphobe.
I have said before of the after-effects of the anti-transgender sports movement. Not only will it represent the murder of every transgender person in this nation, should it succeed, but it will also represent the end of all female sporting achievement.
If Freedom and White want to transition, they're more than welcome in the WNBA. But even a cursory examination of this process indicates they are not and not going to.
And here's something a lot of people don't want to tell you: The WNBA is evidence of one very simple fact. The only instances of actual basketball (rather than the Curry and Fightball the NBA has become in the last ten years) people want to see are far below the professional level.
Sans prurient and sexual interest like the Lingerie/Legends Football League, there is not sufficient interest in women's sports at basically any level without force (economic or legal) to prop it up.
If these two pieces of shit succeed, it will end the WNBA one way or the other.
